15 cm Nebelwerfer 41 by Uncle T

440 bricks.

My version of the German WW2 15 cm Nebelwerfer 41 multi-rocket launcher. It's VERY much an approximation, not a 1:1 replica.

I built one rocket launcher that doesn't work properly unless playing at 140+ FPS so why nor build another one which most likely won't work properly either unless in SP and above 140 FPS.

Information from Wikipedia
****
The 15 cm Nebelwerfer 41 (15 cm NbW 41) was a German multiple rocket launcher used in the Second World War. It served with units of the Nebeltruppen, German Chemical Corps units that had the responsibility for poison gas and smoke weapons that were also used to deliver high-explosives during the war. The name Nebelwerfer is best translated as "smoke thrower".

Allied troops nicknamed it Screaming Mimi and Moaning Minnie due to its distinctive sound.

The 15 cm Wurfgranate 41 projectiles were fired from a six-tube launcher mounted on a towed carriage adapted from that used by the 3.7 cm PaK 36 to a range of 6,900 metres (7,500 yds)*. Almost five and a half million 15 cm rockets and six thousand launchers were manufactured over the course of the war.

* The range in game has been reduced to 2,500 meters.

CONTROLS
From the seat (added so the driver won't be in a rocket and for using the cameras). **
Alt + Left/Right arrow keys or Mouse: Traverse.
X / Disable steering: Limber/Unlimber.
Up/Down arrows: Raise /lower front support legs.
Spacebar: Hand brake. Dont forget to release when towing!
Camera 1-6: Rocket views. Good for initial aiming and for fire observation.

Lower right hand side switch: Elevation. The approximate corresponding distance the rockets will travel on flat ground is shown on the little display below the switch.
Upper right hand side switch: Fire. There's a small pause then the rockets are fired automatically about 1.5 seconds apart. The rockets can be fired at the default elevation but rarely explode as the trajectory is too flat for the proximity sensor to activate, so the minimum distance recommended is 500 meters unless firing directly at static object or vehicles.

** I had to put the seat on the left side and make Bob exit it far to the left or the game for some dumb f*ing reason makes him look directly at the firing button and set off the rockets by just exiting. Brilliant feature Fluppi!!!

NOTE!
Why the rockets' trajectories sometimes are VERY different from each other I do not know since both the tubes and the rockets are EXACT COPIES of the first one I built, but hey let's say it's a feature. SIGH!
