JostVanArms R-8-150 MLRS

The R-8-150 is a multiple launch rocket system developed and produced by JostVanArms. Introduced in the early cold war as an inexpensive but powerful solution to developing countries' needs for mobile rocket artillery, it almost immediately proved a huge success on the export market, not only being shipped and used across the world but also being adapted for production under licence by many other nations. Tens of thousands of R-8-150 launchers were produced, many of which still remain in service to this day. The R-8-150 is intended primarily to be used in a massed battery of several launchers, allowing for a high density of artillery fire to be sent downrange across a short period of time. Indeed, it can prove to be devastating against wide-area targets such as massed infantry formations and military bases when deployed in this manner.

** SPECIFICATIONS (R-8-150 LAUNCHER) ** Weight: 1199kg (965kg empty) Dimensions: 4.315m x 3.519m x 1.744m No. of tubes: 8 Maximum elevation: 60° / -5° Maximum traverse: +-25°

How to use

1. Spawn the launcher in the general direction you desire.
2. Elevate the launcher to the desired leve, using either the range tables provided in-game or below to assist you.
3. If necessary, traverse the launcher until the desired bearing is achieved.
4. Tap the "Fire!" button.*

• Upon doing so, all rockets will fire in a sequence of bottom > top, left > right, in quarter-second intervals.

Range Tables

These tables are meant to provide you with a more accurate manner of setting the necessary elevation of the launcher depending on the target's range. Do note that these tables are also provided with the launcher in-game, and that they are not completely precise. -5.0°: 50m -2.5°: 75m 0°: 1025m 2.5°: 2025m 5.0°: 3350m 7.5°: 4325m 10.0°: 5200m 12.5°: 6025m 15.0°: 6700m 17.5°: 7200m 20.0°: 7650m 22.5°: 8100m 25.0°: 8400m 27.5°: 8650m 30.0°: 8800m 32.5°: 8875m 35.0°: 8900m 37.5°: 8875m 40.0°: 8650m 42.5°: 8525m 45.0°: 8375m 47.5°: 8000m 50.0°: 7600m 52.5°: 7250m 55.0°: 6850m 57.5°: 6200m 60.0°: 5800m

** IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE ** • The launcher and its rockets tend to become unstable in low fps conditions. • On some occassions, the third rocket may clip into another object, potentially damaging its interior components. I have done my best to fix this and although it is rather uncommon, it can still occur. While this has the potential to send the rocket off-course or disable its warhead, the chance of a total launch failure and/or explosion is very rare. • As the rockets disperse quite a bit over range, it is advised to deploy the R-8-150 in a battery of at least 3 launchers.
