The Wurfrahmen, which literally means "Throwing Frame", was Germany's answer to the Russian Katyusha rocket launching vehicle. By attaching a specialized launch rack to a UE Chenillette, the Germans had quickly created a mobile rocket platform nicknamed "Stuka zu Fuss" ("Stuka by foot") for its ability to deal massive amounts of damage while maintaining a high level of mobility. The Wurfrahmen fires 280 mm or 300 mm explosive rockets, or 320 mm incendiary rockets.
Background[]
The chassis of the UE Chenillette is put to good use as a mobile rocket launcher. The Wurfrahmen 40 featured side-mounted rocket launchers, while the Wurfrahmen auf Infanterieschlepper sported a rear-mounted frame for launching rockets and resembles the unit seen in War Front.
Gameplay[]
- Pros: Cheap, long-range artillery unit that can be ordered to bombard any spot on the battlefield. A great choice for mobile base defense because it doesn't drain valuable power supplies.
- Cons: A bit thin in terms of armor, and because it is artillery its projectiles take a while to reach the target.
- Bottom Line: An excellent value in terms of resources and production time. You'll probably be using this even when the Hummel is available.
