Nice idea, wouldnt know what kind of stats they should have. Probably in the secret tab and not upgradable.

You have rockets and you have artillery now you want rocket artillery? Some people are never satisfied

Ironically, it would be a lot more realistic to have something like the Soviet Katyusha rocket batteries in the game rather than have a "V-2" that can be used as a tactical weapon against troops. The V-2s were wildly inaccurate, even compared to night-time area bombing. The V-2's guidance system was good enough to hit London or Amsterdam (major urban centers) from 200 miles away, but the idea embodied in the in-game version of these rockets that they were accurate enough to target individual brigade or regiment-size combat units in the field and do significant damage is complete nonsense. The only way a V-2 could kill several hundred infantrymen or destroy several tanks would be to have a lucky 1-in-100,000 shot hitting a barracks or parade ground while the men or equipment were assembled in a confined space. Frankly, the V-2 was good for killing civilians, but as a tactical weapon of war, it sucked, and the Germans rarely, if ever, attempted to use it against troops.

As an example, the SS fired 11 V-2s at the Ludendorff Bridge in Remagen on Hitler's direct orders, and none of the rockets landed closer than several hundred meters from the bridge. One landed 40-something kilometers away. On the other hand, the Russians/Soviets widely used the Katyusha as an anti-personnel weapon, together with their traditional massed artillery, in advance of their offensives.

Eh, doesn't seem that essential to me. I'd rather just see a buff in artillery.

It wasn't even that good at that.

While rocket arty was used alot during ww2 how would it be added to the game. I mean what will its stats be like, what makes it different from the SPG

Typical Quasi doubting /everything/ Germany did in WW2. So funny coming from a Soviet wannabe.

QD is a "Soviet wannabe"? Really?

If so, I probably won't take his advice on economic matters or civil liberties, but I have found his military historical analysis to be accurate and insightful -- and I am anything but a "Soviet wannabe." I was raised in a U.S. Navy family, educated as an economist, did my M.A. thesis under a Ph.D. who did his dissertation under Milton Friedman, and I managed political campaigns for conservative Republican candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives before I went back to grad school. Not a Soviet wannabe, but a fan of Locke, Burke, Madison and Reagan.

I have not found anything ideologically slanted in QD's comments, but I will talk to him about his youthful ideological indiscretions if, indeed, he is a budding Marxist.

I don't think either of those names were mentioned, sir.

I might also add that Germany and the N***s did quite a lot from 1933 to 1945 that should be "doubted" because the N***s were EVIL.

Thanks @MontanaBB!

@worldwar2history seems like it is mobile rocket artillery you want. In this case, the Americans are using the T-34 Calliope, the Germans using the Panzerwerfer, and the Japanese using the Ha-To, though this is currently level 5 Japanese artillery. As you said already, the Soviets have the Katyusha.

That wasn't what I was talking about but sure I guess, go ahead and add your opinion

Perhaps it would be a bit more productive if the thread stayed on topic?
Some questions i'd like answered is how they'd be incorporated into the game, for example

Well, if they are self-propelled, maybe they should be kind of like an IFV, having more attack damage against infantry than armour. Also, no range due to being used in the direct fire role, e.g. the T-34 Calliope was rockets rigged on top of a combat capable Sherman.
