well, not really :-D
Just 2 8-tube rocket launchers on the back of a truck. not really adjustable and with unsatisfying results.
In terms of accuracy, firing range and volley power, they were inferior to the Soviet BM-13.

In reality the tubes were facing to the right, but that turned out
to be quite difficult for the CoH engine...

I am so proud to have been playing this mod for over 7 years and to see what it is shaping to be. I know you and the rest of the BOTB mod team will make this even better than we ever thought it could be. P.S love the new update, the ammo system is awesome

Something wrong with T27. When it fires, crews will get out and stand there forever, even can block other units.

Description

Two rather exotic units, but both fit in the Ardennes scenario very well.
The T1e3, nicknamed "Aunt Jemina" (after a then-famous pancake mix) for its 10 massive discs which trigger any mine. The device was deployed by US Forces from late 1944 onward, but proved difficult to handle. It replaces the british "Crab" upgrade.
The T27 was a stationary 8-tube rocket launcher. 2nd U.S. Infantry Division mounted 2 of them each on trucks to make them more mobile. They first saw combat in September of 1944. So players have another rocket option for the U.S.Army.
