 * V3

The V3 Rocket Launcher was a long range attacker employed by the Soviets during the Great World War III. It is an improved version of the V2 Rocket Launcher, which was used to great effect during the previous war, and similarly, was an attack-only vehicle that fired extremely powerful projectiles. =Usage= The V3 Rocket Launchers were able to demolish buildings in only a few hits, but due to the arcing nature of the shot, were ineffective against infantry and vehicles (the round took so long between firing and impact that most units could move out of the way). Because of the way the rockets fired, it was most effective to fire them as a group, together, rather than one by one. =Counters= It had little ability to protect itself at close range and with no real armor could be destroyed very quickly. Due to improvements in digital targeting technology by the time of the GWWIII it was possible for the rockets to be shot down while in flight making it possible for IFVs, Patriot Missiles to protect a targeted building from it. Interestingly missiles employed a ballistic trajectory, not a conventional launch-level-dive attack, which in effect lengthens the delivery time allowing AA defenses to mow down the missiles before reaching the target, however V3s were usually deployed in numbers, so it is rare where not at least one missile hits.

The V3 was replaced by V4 which can be carried by Twinblades.
