The Raketenautomat Is Broken

Decal affiliate link: tinyurl.com/42thwzv3
You know how the U-SH 405 is really annoying? The Raketenautomat is that, but more powerful and at a lower battle rating. Adding this to War Thunder in its current state was a mistake.

By the way: In Germany, the official word for 'vending machine' would be 'Verkaufsautomat', but everyone just says 'Automat'. For example there would be the 'Snackautomat', a vending machine for snacks. Now, this is the Raketenautomat and i hereby declare the official translation to be 'rocket vending machine'.

There is a problem here. This rocket vending machine send rockets for free. And gets them for free. I think devs should give this thing a 10 sec full rack reload, so these "vending" machines could hold the points by blindly spamming shots in general direction.

[@mondinik2378]

Gaijin has to understand that WT is not WoT. Since vehicles performance are bound to real documents, the balancing of the game depends on the vehicles you choose to add. This means that you can't take a tank and change the horse power of his engine like in WoT (for example). Gaijin need to think before adding new tanks (or planes or ships). Also I challenge you (Spookston) to play the Lancia 3ro... If you wanna suffer a little bit.

[@Temmoie]

Rethink before adding new tanks? AH, good idea, how about I charge 60 dollars for each of these tanks?

[@euro-general]

Its a shame they added this vehicle. This is the same chassis as the HS.30, they could have added the LGS M40A1with an (exposed) recoiless rifle, and a 20mm gun. Which was used and would have been a bit more fun to fight I think.

[@commandoepsilon4664]

I wouldn't say the problem with taking fire from that vehicle or the U-SH is that it may seem like artty, but rather due to their rate of fire and the visual effects from the rockets even if they botch their first 6 volleys you won't be able to find them in the ensuing storm of explosions to effectively counter attack. Basically the only counter to these vehicles is just spot them first and take them out before they know you see them.

I figured out why the game crashes with new updates a long time ago, all you have to do in most cases (if you use the steam version) is to update the game using the launcher (chose the launcher option instead of loading into the game directly), because it downloads files that steam usually misses when updating it.
