Stalin's Sledgehammer can replace the Katyusha as a reward unit

I think it would be great if this can happen, as Katyusha and 203 mm howitzer M1931 (B-4) are different in nature and offers the player choices in  use.

Makes like no sense to me. The Katyusha is a mobile rapid firing artillery piece while the 203mm is a slow shooting immobile artillery gun.

Maybe not a reward for the Katyusha but I'd love to see the Gaubitsya in this game instead of the whimpy little Pushka we have right now.

why not get the katyusha which fires 300mm rockets instead :P

Why doesn't it make sense ? the 203 mm is more powerful per round but covers less area and it a choice.......... not like you have to use it. It is for players with different play style, the Katyusha is weak when used by itself.

Well why should somebody change a mobile 300mm Rocket Artillery that he can deploy and pound areas all over the map. With a fixed range 203mm Artillery Emplacement (Yes, it is mounted on tracks and no it does not have it's own engine! Do not believe the MoW developers on that).

Katyusha is not 300mm....... it is 132mm........ seriously where did you learn about 300mm rockets ?

Wasn't this Katyusha the one who could use such thing?



We do not use this one nor intend to do :).

About the suggestion, I'm not sure the "sledgehammer" fits CoH or Soviets at all, let alone we already have a couple of artillery emplacements in that tree. It seems to be a huge weapon, and once we add it everyone and their dog will complain about why we are not adding the Karl-Gerät for Germans or any other heavy artillery unit. This unit seems suitable for campaign but not to multiplayer.

I understand, but the 76mm is not very powerful.

i wouldnt am mind seeing the 300mm katyusha or b4 howitzer in the campaign

Sorry about that I messed that one up with the Sturmtiger ammunition.

Sturmtiger is 380mm
