German 8cm Rocket Launcher missing

Post by Wiedrock »

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_cm_Rake ... fachwerfer

Potentially encountered in OB:1262 "SS Mot. Werfer Battalion". I know that the logo indicates it being "towed" - so not 100% sure.
Should be produced in ~300 pieces supposedly (so on top of the 300 normal Panzerwerfer 42 production (I suppose)).

Production of 300 pieces is utter nonsense/fantasy. There was a platoon of these vehicles that was sometimes assigned to a SS Werfer unit.
The whole project was a waste of precious time and resources, the small rockets had a too small payload to be reasonable effective so there was no mass production of launchers.

Yep seems like a confusion with the normal Panzerwerfer.

Lexikon and "Waffen-Arsenal S-40" give 13 produced and used in two SS Batteries (Vielfachwerfer Batteries 521 + 522).
I can't find a hint towards Panzerwerfer being a regular part of those SS Corps Werfer Battalions in game. Occasionally there is rather the mentioning of 210mm Nebelwerfers added.
