Auto Credit Based on Edwards's zis5

I had an unfinished Zis-5 in my project list for a loooooong time, so i decided "why not turn that into a BM13?" and here we are.
Used all my tank knoweledge to make the best suspension i could for this thing, it is as smooth as i could make it, going over the taxiway edges in the SC doesn't bother the truck at all, the bottles of vodka and the mosin may fall out, though.
The rocket launcher itself is able to pitch up/down, and rotate +/- 20 degrees, the truck has a retracting tripod to stabilize it during firing, and it also has windshield blinds that deploy alongside the tripod.
Top speed is around the 20m/s mark, about 70-75km/h, be careful when pulling sharp corners at speeds above 10-15 m/s, as the truck may topple over due to the high center of mass.
NOW, activation groups and basic controls:
Throttle=accelerator
Brake=Brake
Pitch=rocket launcher elevation
Roll=rocket launcher traverse
AG1= tripod/windshield blinds
AG10=deploy all rockets (interval of 0.25 seconds between pairs)
AG2 to 9= launch individual rocket pairs
And that's it, pretty much. hope you like this vehicle, i had fun making and testing it, and i sure hope you have just as much fun driving it and firing the rockets.

oh, and also, i put more work on that mosin nagant than any sane person would, feel free to delete it alongside the bottles of vodka if your game is running poorly

    @kittman the rockets are launched by strong decouplers, as even with XML modding i coudn't make a rocket engine that spooled up fast enough to launch these things; also, the bm13 was too heavy and too slow to properly drift, it is a military 6 ton truck after all. Anyways, i am glad you liked it!

    This is now one of my favorite vehicles in SR2. It's a beautiful truck... looking forward to deploying a few of these for synchronized, saturating rocket fire. But I can't figure out how the rockets launch... I can't find any rocket motors. Are they spring loaded in some form or fashion? Also, I can do some great donuts with it but can never get it to drift. heh
    I just spawned a truck on the moon and am curious what exactly is gonna happen in the vacuum and low gravity... Off to find out!
    I'm pretty sure the Germans had a nickname for these rocket saturations... But I cannot find it during my "extensive" search on wikipedia. Anyone know, or have I watched to many documentaries of WWII and am thinking of a different weapon?

    @KirRu i have something that looks like a тополь-М, doesn't work identically, the missile i made turns horizontal immediately after launch thanks to a rcs system, and it has deployable fins and stuff
