Schweres Wurfgerät 41 - Heulende Kuh

The first German rockets were those launched from the Schweres Wurfgerät 40 ("heavy throwing apparatus") and the Schweres Wurfgerät 41. These fire either 180-pound high-explosive or 196-pound incendiary rockets. These rockets are 280-mm and 320-mm in diameter, and weigh 180 and 196 pounds respectively.

The Schweres Wurfgerät 40 consists merely of a wooden frame (Wurfgestell 40) which fires rockets from wooden shipping crates; the 41, of a steel frame (Wurfgestell 41) holding either wooden or steel shipping crates. The launcher Schweres Wurfrahmen 40 consists of plates on the side of an armored half-track. Each half-track mounts a total of six plates, three on each side. The rocket-carrying crates are secured to the plates, and the latter are then inclined at a right angle for firing. Rockets also are fired from a Wurfgerät by the simple process of inclining the "heavy throwing apparatus" (shipping crate) in a trench (or against a firm rest) and setting a correct angle.
The 300-mm high-explosive rocket also may be fired in this manner.

About the Bren carrier and the M3 family.. the battle plan is to release first the SWg41, the Hetzer w the multiturret and the Bren Carrier then the others promised addons

Great addon, I can't wait to get to test this "thing"...!
Could you already reveal us what is the effective firing distance of this terrible weapon? And I guess they would be rather disposable than reloadable, right?

edit: "Heulende Kuh" = Crying cow?

[Reyhard]

Sound interesting, would be really nice to see this thing in any city siege :>

Quote[/b] ]edit: "Heulende Kuh" = Crying cow?

I remember that Germans used those things during Warsaw uprising and many Poles fighting over there had called them "cows" or "wardrobes" because of their characteristic (and somehow terrifying) sound that those rocket launchers made during launching.

[Panzergrenadier3]

Yes, crying cow is the right translation of heulende Kuh.

[AtStWalker]

yes that's ATM i'm working to adds the SWg41 rakete to the Hanomag to make the Stuke Zu Fuss version avoiding to modify the Lib, Inv44 and John's Sdkfz251 addons (Yep, making a multiturretted vehicle )
