Also, while they are very inaccurate, they can be used to great effect when fired in swarms against stationary or slow moving targets.

That's not what TTI is complaining about. NCSU apparently has underbarrel rocket launchers AND airship mounted rockets.

Underbarrel rockets: Smaller rockets, lit by fuse. WTF...
Airship mounted rockets: Place hwatchas on them, problem solved.

Yeah, but those Underbarrels rockets are far too inaccurate to be practical. Have you ever fired a firework straight forward? It spins around and fucks off in the opposite direction you aimed it. In order for it to be accurate, the user would have to be so close he would get hit by the explosion as well...

Nobody seemed to notice me developing rockets a few pages back, and developing modernized hwatchas with that development. I guess much science has been retconned. I also do not want to argue with you, I want to argue someone else on my level.

Still seems pretty unrealistic man. Producing rockets to go on the underbarell of all of your guns would be a huge monetary drain, and attaching hwatchas to Airships would probably do jsut as much damage you your men than to the enemy. After all, Hwatcha's throw out a huge amount of backblast when they fire.

And, more importantly, they give you an unfair advantage over the rest of us that doesn't seem very realistic, and will make the RP less fun for everyone else. At least that's how I feel about it. Either way, Im just not even going to acknowledge the rockets until everyone comes to an agreement.

I'm confused. How do u have a .30-06 Sniper Rifle, before 1906? As the round was made in 1906...

Why not just trop traditional ceramic incendiary bombs, or perhaps just use the 37mm Maxim PomPom?

We noticed but didn't care because it made sense. An underbarrel rocket launcher isn't possible in 2016 so it DEFINITELY isn't possible in 1892.

I dont think we ever mentioned how long it took to deploy the army. But, I would agree that 4 days would be a bit unrealistic fro all of the defenses that are set up if that is the case.

I sense the development of T-26 as a mass produced weapon in one years time at use by at least someone.

Then I would then have to go closer. Maybe use that fart gas I was developing? I heard it could be smelled for some miles, or was it a couple of kilometres?

The only shotgun Norcourt knows of are lever action shotties by John Browning, or muzzleloading Fowlers and Blunderbusses. Wasn't the Winchester Pump Action not produced till 1893?

I dont have any tanks. Whoever does, bring it up with them.

And, that is correct. Us humans are to dumb to use miniature guided rockets. So it seeme highly unlikely that anyone would have anything like that in 1892.

Also, as I said before, there is no reason to get salty. All of us are trying to have a discussion, while you are turning it into a dick measuring contest.

A grenade launcher is OK. A fucking underbarrel ROCKET is NOT. And there are MANY reasons why. The exhaust from the rocket would damage the weapon and injure the operator due to the extreme heat. The heat would give the user third degree burns and severely damage the weapon he is using, leading to the need to hospitalize the operators EVERY SINGLE TIME IT IS FIRED! That is why NO nation on EARTH has underbarrel rockets.
