Mobile Rocket Artillery

I know artillery is already in the game but...
How about mobile rocket artillery driven and fired by a player?
I don't know how you could realisticly simulate acquiring targets other then something like the motars in Enemy Territory(You fire a round and then check the map to see were it lands,then adjusts and repeat)

To balance it out it would be:
1.Slow
2.Needs to stay near a source of ammo(not ammo bags)

I know this probably won't be included any time in the near future, but I like the idea...

Well you need to get some more pratice on the search function as this has been suggested and rejected at least twice in the last 60 days.
Besides, I just wanted to say it first before El Vikingo gets here.

Yup we even had a very detailed suggestion by an individual who is a crewman IRL on one of these post this within the last 7 days.

And AD&A the short hand your looking for is IBTEV.

Leky....we really are saying this in a humorous spirit and not maliciously.

We know that you and all the other suggesters just want to help the game but you do open yourself up to ridicule when you say you searched but yet did not find any of the many posts about mobile arty/rockets.

You can search the whole post, not just the title.
