Sd.Kfz.251 with 280mm rockets

It’d be an interesting event vehicle that can be used with direct and indirect support! It could be hard to aim, but it should do good damage, it’s also lightly armored!

Artillery is positioned many km hehind the lines thus we would never see it on the front line anyway.
(But would be cool if devs added artillery to map, aircraft could destroy by straffing).

I mean we have the Panzerwerfer, and this can also be used for direct fire, so I think they could make this a new APC, as it appears to be a normal 251 just with rockets on it

Can the rocket pods move or are they stuck at the steep angle shown in the pictures?

I think they do have some rotation mechanisms as each photo shows the rockets at a different angle, however they lack horizontal transverse

Even if they could freely move I think the angle may be too great so it would probably be used from very far away.

I think it’s game play would be similar to the panzerwerfer except you help spawn in infantry

I think it would be position where you have a clear view of the point or have a clear view from down a road, I don’t know how much transverse it has, but I would think maybe around 45 degrees or higher and 5 degrees of depression, but most likely 0 degrees of depression. Kinda like a mix of the sIG, Panzerwerfer, and Sd.Kfz.251/1.

I just did I little look into it and I think I can say pretty conclusively it couldn’t rotate once installed.
For example there was not motor to travers the rocket pods up and down, it was simply a metal frame that held them in place on the side of the vehicle.

This is what they look like before instillation, as you can see there is just the rocket pods attached to a metal frame.

If you look on top of the half track there is a metal cage that the rocket assembly shown in the previous picture would attach to. This could be taken of relatively simply and not effect the vehicle much as it’s just a external set of rockets stuck to the side.

So if they added this what angle should it be at?

Probably at this angle:

As the the speed in which rockets drop off it would probably be usable in most Enlisted maps, but your enemy would have to be in a certain spot.

I think they should add it as an event vehicle, maybe on the anniversary of the Sd.Kfz.251 in July, or maybe April fools, I think it would be a fun vehicle that’s made for goofing off.
