History
"..."

-...

In the early 1970s V.C., the Voshkod had a clear advantage over Aquila and the Alliance in terms of rocket artillery. Voshkod tactics of bombardment by large numbers of truck-mounted multiple rocket launchers (MRLs), such as the Katyusha MRL and later the BM-21, would saturate a target area with thousands of rockets, ensuring some would hit specific targets while delivering a psychological impact. By contrast, Aquila artillerists favored cannon artillery for its relative accuracy and ammunition conservation over "area fire" rockets, and as a result were left with only a small amount of Great Voshkod-Aquilan War vintage rocket artillery like the T34 Calliope and the T27 Xylophone.

This mindset began to change following the 1973 V.C. Alberian War, which saw high loss rates, especially from rear-area weapons like surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), as well as the effective Alberian tactic of hitting such sites with MRLs. This combined with the realization that such an experience would happen on a larger scale in the event of war in Aquila and Hawke if happend again. It would be used to engage enemy air defenses and for counterbattery fire, freeing cannon units to provide close support for ground forces.
