Vomitmeister Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 We just finished a quick battle where my opponent thinks he had German 150mm RKT (sound right?). He targeted an area his spotter had LOS to. When the rockets fell, they were dropping all over the map. Should they be more accurate or is this normal for rockets. We were playing on a small map. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt.Tom Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 That's normal, they are not very accurate. They just go wooosh out of the launcher and where they go no body knows. Pvt.Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedy Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 Yes Germans have 150mm rockets (nebelwerfers I believe), even with los the fall of shot is very dispersed. The small map would have highlighted this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Michael emrys Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 There was extensive research done on this issue by Bullethead and others some months ago. I believe the consensus was something along the lines of keeping your men at least 500-600 meters away from the aiming point (more is better).

Shatter Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 Rockets stink I never use them unless I feel like blowing up my own troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moriarty Posted December 30, 2000 Share Posted December 30, 2000 Rocket guidance technology in 1944-45 was not so hot. My hard-learned experience with them is that you've got to target approx. 200m ahead of your position to have a reasonable expectation of not whacking your own guys. They are horribly inaccurate but that's half the fun. After one game in which I used 300mm rockets, my opponent told me after the game was over that they gutted his armor force. I never knew that as his armor had not been spotted due to FoW. (In that game, I did target 175m ahead of my forward position and very nearly lost a rifle squad). ------------------ "Moriarty, you suck." -- Dunno, but somebody must've said it somewhere along the line [This message has been edited by Moriarty (edited 12-29-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
