Sd.Kfz. 4 "Panzerwerfer"

The Panzerwerfer 42 auf Maultier, Sd.Kfz. 4/1, first went into production in April 1943 and was produced until March 1945.

Hitler called for production of the vehicle in January 1942, with its first tests on the Eastern Front in Autumn of 1943. Opel was the main manufacturer, producing most of the components, including the 3.6 liter, 6 cylinder Adam Opel engine.

It is basically a nebelwerfer mounted on a halftrack chassis, which fired 150mm nebelwerfer rockets.

It is extremely useful for wiping out swarms of infantry and vehicles but it's of no use at close range.Because of inaccuracy there is little point in attempting to eliminate single units unless they are HVTs (high value targets).
