Re: On map MLRS with big caliber -- Rate of Fire = 4 - 6 and no smoke?!
Mobhack,
I do agree with your entire post. The only exception I could find so far was the U.S. MLRS in use now. Even the sub-munition bombardment rockets are GPS guided now. They can also carry a unitary rocket with a GPS guided 200lb warhead instead of the sub-munitions. Smoke cannisters and markers are only used in practice rockets in the U.S. system. There are now 5 rockests in the system.
M26, M26A1, M26A2 these are unguided, the A1 and A2 are extended range.
M28, Practice
M30, GMLRS This is the guided version of the M26 with range improvements and GPS
M31A1 (Unitary) 200lb warhead, GPS guided same size as M26 but longer range. 12 Rockets on M270. In service first quarter 2009.
M39 ATACMS Big rocket onlt 2 per M270 launcher. guided and very long range first used in combat 1/1991. First packed with 930-950 bomblets but they are now working on versions beyond the scope of this game. Unless there is a way to make a missile that carries 6 smaller guided missiles.
No smoke.
