Rockets such as these were generally used for 'blanket/saturation bombing' and seemed to have a greater psychological effect compared to the actual damage they caused.

The WWII use of rockets was rather unsophisticated by today's standards. Besides being mounted on aircraft in all the major antagonists' armed forces, rocket launchers were attached to trucks or tanks to soften up a target before heading in. The rockets had a lot of bang, but little effect. There was little room for explosive left after making space for the motor and propellant. Usually employed in launchers that hurled dozens in sequence, they would pepper a large area, cause confusion and / or augment the artillery attack. They generally belonged to the artillery branch and were used to cover larger areas, rather than take on point targets. The types of rockets we're talking about here are also indirect fire weapons. <br />'<br />Copied from Greg Liskapylgrymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11112147219751420731noreply@blogger.com
