ADDED NOTE!
The in-game physics is sadly competely tied to the FPS you play at so the rockets will behave differently at FPS under 100 than when I tested them at 165 fps. Sadly there's nothing I can do about that other than hope FLuppi will fix his broken game. So no hope basically.

My new and greatly improved version of the German WW2 30 cm Nebelwerfer 42 mutliple rocket launcher artillery.

Info from Wikipedia
****
The 30 cm Nebelwerfer 42 (30 cm NbW 42) was a German multiple rocket launcher used in the Second World War. It served with units of the Nebeltruppen, the German equivalent of the U.S. Army's Chemical Corps. Just as the Chemical Corps had responsibility for poison gas and smoke weapons that were used instead to deliver high-explosives during the war so did the Nebeltruppen. The name "Nebelwerfer" is best translated as "Smoke Mortar". It saw service from 1943 to 1945 in all theaters except Norway and North Africa.

The 30 cm NbW 42 was a six-barreled rocket launcher mounted on a two-wheeled carriage converted from the launcher for the 28/32 cm Nebelwerfer 41 by changing the open metal launcher frame. Its 30 cm Wurfkörper 42 Spreng (explosive missile) rocket was spin-stabilized and electrically fired. The rockets had a prominent exhaust trail that kicked up a lot of debris, so the crew had to seek shelter before firing. This meant that they were easily located and had to displace quickly to avoid counter-battery fire. The rockets were fired one at a time, in a timed ripple, but the launcher had no capability to fire single rockets
****

Thanks to the scaleable RC-units the rockets can now be controlled while in the air, i.e. how long the engine burns, and behave properly throughout the flight, and it can use a proximity sensor for more reliably exploding on impact. The possibility to scale bricks to fractions also makes it possible to build a closer approximation of the frame.

It IS still however very much an approximation, but close enough for me.

I had to add a "hidden" seat since otherwise the game insisted on placing the player in the RC-unit of the first rocket(?) which made respawning in the same spot to reload a bit of a chore since the player ended up several hundreds of meters away.

The seat is only for spawning, the Nebelwerfer is operated via switches. Bob exits quite far from the seat but that's to prevent the E press to get out of the seat to accidentally trigger the rockets. SIGH!

Minimum firing distance is about 400 meters, and maximum is about 2,200 meters which is about half compared to the real thing

CONTROLS
FROM SEAT - Space Bar: Emergency brakes. Remember to disengage if you tow the nebelwerfer!
Switch on left side of mount: Traverse.
Switch on right side of mount: Elevation. The approximate corresponding distance the rockets will travel on flat ground is shown on the little display next to the switch.
Switch on the right side of the rocket launch frame: Fire. There is a short delay so Bob can move out of the way a bit and the rockets are automatically fired at approximately 1.5 second intervals.
Camera 1-6: Rocket view. Good for adjusting fire or just for a fun ride.

Feel free to edit, but if you reupload publicly in any way please acknowledge the original creation and creator.

Have fun!

Works well with my Sd.Kfz. 7 gun tractor or my Opel Blitzes.

Ok I had to change it so Bob gets out on the left side instead since the "accidental" firing hazard was so big (why does the game insist that he looks DIRECTLY at the firing button when he gets out and then thinks the E press for getting out is still active!?!?!?!?!).

Un-sub and resub to get the latest version immediately.

YOYU DUMB F*CKING GAME WHY IS THE FIRING BUTTON AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED BY ME GETTING OUT OF THE F*ING SEAT EVEN WHEN I'M NOT LOOKING EVEN CLOSELY IN THAT DIRECTION!!!!!!!!
