Hello,

A simple question - why have the vehicle mounted launchers got a save of 5? The German armoured equivalents only have a save of 6 and Russian Katyusha's none.

A Sherman hull is better armoured than an armoured truck.

Ah, so they are not the truck mounted versions then.

How about stats for the ground or truck mounted version? Would the assumption that they would be the Same as the Katyusha be correct? Date available from?

Thanks.

All of them were used in very small nos in NWE, Callipoe was disliked by tank units since it removed a fully serviceable Sherman from the front lines.
