Going from arty 2 to rocket artillery has no retention. Not worth it. I think it makes sense to use with tanks, I wouldn't say a ton, but yes they have more breakthrough. Information, Frequently Asked New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. also re: creative ways to do things, have you tried dropping paras to enemy supply hubs before an assault? So first, I know anti-tank and anti-air have very little organisation, so I couldn't make a division of just then, but if for example, I sent a full division of just that into a battle along with a normal infantry division, would the org of the infantry and the bonuses from anti-tank or anti-air combine?

Global Positioning and Inertial Navigation terminal guidance systems have been introduced. During the Kargil war of 1999, the Indian army pressed into service the Pinaka MBRL against Pakistani forces. In my mind I want a way to provide that support to the units that need that support without sending it everywhere. Pros: Lower production cost Less research required More soft attack Lower supply use Doesn't need tungsten Better in forests Only one variant to produce Cons: Lower hardness Uses more fuel Worse in marshes Modern rocket artillery such as the US M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System is highly mobile and are used in similar fashion to other self-propelled artillery. Additional bonuses and effects of adding a support company to overall division stats can be seen in the tooltip in the division designer.

Artillery uses 2-3 steel and 1 tungsten, rocket artillery uses 1 steel and 2 tungsten. Unless they're harder to destroy, in which case, where would I continue to deploy the infantry variants? Which is better, I never use rocket artillery. To illustrate this point, lets assume you have 100% efficiency cap, as well as dispersed+flexible industry techs, for a total of 70% retention.

The development was chiefly the work of Col. (later Sir) William Congreve, son of the Comptroller of the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, London, who set on a vigorous research and development programme at the Arsenal's laboratory; after development work was complete, the rockets were manufactured in quantity further north, near Waltham Abbey, Essex.
