[QUOTE=SQB;187524]I was just simply amazed, the dust flinging up off the ground as i swooped over the forests, peering over out of my canopy as i tried to spot the burning rocket launching vehicle things (imagine a GRADS system but WW2, i dont know what they are called) and tanks.

USSR used Katyusha multiple rocket launchers. Various types, number and size of missiles. German troops nicknamed them "Stalin Organs".

Germans had a similar weapon called a Nebelwerfer. Allied troops called them "Moaning Minnies"

I posted this a while back on the ubi forum. It completely sums up my reverence towards IL-2:

Quote:

Brothers and Sisters let us be grateful and rejoice in the goodness of IL-2.
For what ever the future brings forth, IL-2 is here among us now.
And regardless of its faults and failures,
IL-2 will eternally bring forth abundant joy and satisfaction on the rigs for which we currently possess.
S!

After last week's squad coops, we were discussing that IL-2 has truely transended from 'just another game' to something of lasting signifigance. Following this discussion I had the above revelation and just had to share it here.
