This reminds me of a Mechwarrior 3 being able to do an Alpha-Strike, main gun, co-ax MG, driver MG, 4 x RP-3's launched simultaneously!

They dont have a website, only a Facebook page tho & the only place you can buy their stuff is on ebay from random Chinese sellers ???

A nice idea, but from what I've read, the range was short, and the accuracy poor, has to do with the rockets being designed to be fired form aircraft, with the benefit of it's speed and slipstream to help guide the rockets . . .
But I'm sure there's a Whiff for that . . . ;)

cheers,
Robin.

Bahh... Soft option. Hacking, scratchbuilding, replacing, heating and clamping the venerable original Resicast is where it is at ;)

Having this option out there is good news.

Didn’t the calliope tank have an elevation adjustment? Would seem to be a logical thing to use.

None of these rocket adaptations seemed too concerned with accuracy.
