Status: offline 		Hi all I have been playing some scenarios with Newerbefler artillery (in the german side). The batteries work fine in the preeliminary bombardement phase, but when I tryed to use later, these batteries didn't appear to work. The rocket sounds appeared but I can see no explosion on the field. I didn't have the Fast artillery activated. What I'm doing wrong?, May be i have to had direct visibility over the target? Thanks all

Perhaps it has gone out of ammo. You must check the artillery rooster. Rocket arty has very low ammo loads.

Hi
I have experienced the same thing.
But in real life the Nebelwerfer was very inaccurate, so when it had happened for me I just **** it as a miss / or dud. Can someone in the development team answer? Regards Stonefire

Status: offline 		Heh-heh most obvious answer is that its out of ammo... Buy ammotruck or ammodump and keep it in adjcent hex with Nebelwerfer or 'Wurfie' , so does arty have ammo onboard. As mobility is name of the game in human against human, buy something that can move launchers, unless they can move themself. What it comes to accurary and how usefull launchers are, - They get infantry surely pinned up, but they are effective only against massive collection of units. They really ain't sharptroopers. I have used one platoon of wurfies (without ammodump/-truck) so that when opponents arty that is onboard has reached my limits I have launched rockets on them with line of sight, then I have retreated (atleast tried) them off the board. Now I have ammosupply working all the time and I don't buy rockets at all. Maybe.. mosh

Status: offline 		A....did you on the weapon breakdown mode. This is what I found: Artillery unit like howitzer and mortar suffer lesser breakdown then as their rate of fire is restricted to 4 rounds but rockets depend on the tubes which are ready to fire. So the breakdown rate is higher. Maybe check whether the weapon had broken down. Somebody in this part of the forum had already argue on the part that rockets only broke down indivually but I think it is a restriction of the game then what the designer in Matrix wanted. If you are out of ammo, you cant even fire as the hex will be darken, but if your weapon broke down, they still can be plot but they wont not fire at all.

Status: offline 		Probably the ammo issue. They're good for 5 shots or something without an ammo dump. The mobile ones fire flame rockets as well, which aren't terribly useful on the defensive but utterly ANNIHILATE dug in infantry in the victory hex zones in an offensive battle. So I have two of them now. (two trucks - not battalions) Much better than conventional artillery in that regard. I'm probably using them in a tremendously unfair way, but I don't care.

Status: offline 		Does sound like its an ammo supply issue. I've noticed that when I upgrade core arty to werfers they start battles with 6 rockets and after they fire there's only one remaining. When you direct them to fire again that one rocket (sometimes 2) will cause the sound to play, but you won't see the big splash area that a full load creates. If they start the battle with 12 rockets, this occurs on the 3rd fire mission (assuming you don't have them adjacent to an ammo truck/dump).
