Single on map RM-70

weapon 1 =40 rockets
+
weapon 2 =40 rockets

20 ROF means 20 rockets are fired from "weapon 1" and 20 rockets are fired from "weapon 2" for an actual ROF of 40 and this gives the unit itself 2 salvos. We do it this way so players can shut down one weapon if they want and stretch the weapons usefulness so single on map rocket units can be used a bit more "subtlety" than off map units can. 40 + 40 rockets means they have 80 rockets per units, just as the off map ones do

Off map RM-70 sections are deliberately NOT given the ability to fire a half salvo because we only have 4 weapons slots to work with but you can shut down one or two of the weapons and only fire 40 rockets at a time if you like just as the single on map unit can if it fires both "weapons" at once

Three single rocket launchers are usually represented though it could be 2 or 4

80 rockets
80 rockets
80 rockets

40 ROF means each individual unit is firing 40 rockets ( just like the on map unit is when both weapons are "on" ) and they get two salvos.

So everything is as it should be.
