Sherman tank with missile launcher pack =D =P XD image

Post needs more smilies bro ;)

Ah, I thought it was intentional. Still, made me laugh.
And I wonder what Sherman model is this? Has interesting frontal armour.

Allies: US army: armor doctrine: Sherman Calliope from Company of Heroes!

yea except this isn't a secret :P

it's better than the katyusha :D

Better armour, secondary weapons, smaller but more rockets.

indeed, with the katyusha you need a vehicle to caryr rockets and a vehicle to attack (a tank for instance)

with this you can
A) protect yourself
B) pund the enemy
C) attack when you run out of rockets

The Katyusha launcher is a way better weapons system (it became a national icon for a reason). Its extremely simple design (an ordinary truck with a rail carriage) allowed it to be made in massive numbers. It was possible to interchange the number of rails as well as rocket dimensions, as opposed to the fixed amount of tubes and rockets on this tank. The Katyusha is still being used today...where is your superior Calliope?

you do realize the modern day katyusha rocket launchers aren't the same as the ones used in ww2 right ?

the modern "katyusha" rocket launchers are very different from the ww2 truck mounted one

if you compare the modern launchers that share the name "katyusha"

you could stretch it even further and call this a descendent from the calliope :P

I hate to be that guy, but a missile is any kind of projectile accelerated by people. Including a thrown stone.
