Tactics

  • A nice strategy is to have 2 Nebelwerfers firing constantly at the enemy´s base.
  • Nebelwerfers excel at destroying British trenches.


History

The 15cm NbW41 "Nebelwerfer" (Smoke Launcher) was a six-tube rocket launcher used as artillery by the Germans in World War II. With the rising expense of conventional field artillery pieces, the Nebelwerfer was a welcome addition as it cost a fraction of regular artillery. Though originally designated a smoke launcher, as it was to be used by the chemical weapons units that also falsely labeled their weapons as "smoke", it mostly fired high explosive rockets. Nebelwerfer rockets quickly saturated a large area with deadly shrapnel, though were very inaccurate compared to conventional guns. Batteries were towed by half-tracks, and quickly packed up after firing, as the long smoke trails gave away their position to enemy artillery.
