Neblewerfer. Nice piece of artillery.

Not as scary as the Katyusha though.

And as long as we’re talking WWII. I discovered a very amusing anime on the weekend: Girls und Panzer.

In it tank combat is a high school sport popular in girl’s high schools. They use WWII era tanks, and did they use some obscure ones. In some ways it struck me as a satire on the roles women are locked into in Japanese society.

Much enjoyed and frequently laughed at.

I mainly remember Nebelwerfer and Katyusha from playing Steel Panthers way back when. If rocket artillery was available for support I tended to pick up a battery. Using HE to create a temporary smoke screen, or at least disrupt the enemy lines if you managed to dump it on the right place.
