/k/ what is that thing mounted on the truck?
a jet engine modified to launch rockets?
also heavy weapon pick-up trucks thread

Rocket pod that would normally be carried by a Hind.

Russian 55mm(?) rocket pod

Ford wants to have a word with you
>>30050247
or anything really, those are pretty standardized
hips
grachs
krashas
farmers&fishbeds
bmps
you name it, it probably can carry 55mm rockets
all you need is som 8mm bolts, couple nuts, and a length of electrical wiring
How do they get the balistics right?
How do they aim?

Do you really think realworld orcs give a shit if they hit the target, MORE DAKKA
>>30050212
How do you think jet engine work?
Must be a speed boost for the truck.

aim = boresight
range = elevate to some positive angle & hope for the best
those rockets aren't terribly accurate on a ballistic flight path anyway. they are designed to be shot at a -10 to -40ish down angle and at a range where the ballistic curve ("bullet drop") isn't a factor anyway, and meant to be fired in salvos of 4-32 so the spread makes up for the lack of accuracy. so if you shoot them UPward, then the range (firing position to impact area) is determined by the amount of fuel onboard. which theoretically is the same for every rocket. theoretically.
when the fuel runs out, the projectile will continue on a purely ballistic flightpath until it hit the ground, because lol fuck timed fuses, aint nobody got the money for that in soviet russia - which as we all know is great for accuracy as well
these pods are literally "fuck that general area over there, probably", birdshot at 200 yards, "fly a loop and release your bombs while inverted" tier.

darn
I forgot
"with a rifled barrel"

>fly a loop and release your bombs while inverted
Used to do this in combat flight simulator then quickly aileron roll to "throw" the bomb sideways.
God bless realism.
