The Devestator is a long range artillery rocket weapon that can be used in the defensive or offensive war in a time
of war or combat. It can fire deep into enemy lines with a range of 480km. It can demolish military bases, large concentrations
of troops or armored divisions, airfields, and anything else covering an area. Causing what some people refer to as "Steel Rain",
the rocket system can either use a submunition warhead (KUK102a), a standard explosive rocket (ZZF2a), or a blasting warhead with steel
ball bearings (KLF2c).

The Devestator TMLRS is a truck based, Multiple-Launch Rocket System. The wheeled chassis and overall vehicle allow it to go faster than
a standard MLRS, and makes it much more agile and flexible in the field of combat and modern warfare.

Using stealth equipment on the vehicle, it is possible to camoflauge itself in any enviroment and is able to deploy "dummy" missiles, which are actually just
high speed bursts of light/fire. This can confuse the enemy into thinking the vehicle is firing when it is not. This allows the driver or division
in control of the Devestator to abandon a vehicle and still make it appear hostile and armed. This allows for the driver or other controllers to escape
while the enemy approaches the supposedly firing weapon system and vehicle.

The Devestator also can be "remote" operated by installation of an onboard computer, a networking system, and one to three antannae. This would allow
the vehicle to be controlled by a station or remote person up to roughly 20km away (with 1 antenna). While that is a small distance, it still allows the person to hide in a nearby building
while firing the TMLRS. With three antenna, it can be controlled from roughly 85km away, depending on the strength of the networking signal and the area it is stationed in.

ooc: when is an MRLS used as compared to a regular piece of artillery?
Witzgall

To do quicker strikes or rain down upon a massed amount of enemies.

I will take 10,000 of them. Money wired upon order confirmation.

ooc: so then, what's the point of regular gun artillery if you just have rockets doing it anyway?

For defense, even if these can be used as that as well.

First, a MLRS is mobile. Thus you shoot and scurry away. With most ballistic artillery, it takes much longer to pack and unpack, hence we move into self-propelled artillery. Most self-propelled artillery are more accurate than the MLRS, but cannot fire quicker. Also, MLRS can fire more types of munitions than most self-propelled artillery can.

So, basically gun artillery is more accurate than MRLS, that's all it has going for it. That and probably simplicity and cheapness of ammunition.

FYI,

Accuarcy is not a concern with MLRS. It is nick named the Grid Square eliminator because one pod (from the Tracked version) can wipe out everything in one grid square on a map.

During a computer simulated invasion I was involved in, When MLRS was called in to stop advancing forces, It entirely eliminated them, and the scenario had to be restarted.

The Phalanx-Council would like to purchase five hundred of the TMLRS to supplement the Mobile Artillery Rocket Systems currently in use. The estimated cost of this purchase is $700,000,000. Half of the money will be wired now, the other half will be wired upon confirmation. Two transport freighters will be sent upon confirmation to pick up the hardware.

OOC: Also, I think you can get sustained fire with gun artillery. Once you shoot off all the rockets in a given launcher, it takes a few minutes to reload the tubes.

The Defese Ministry wishes to aquiere 5000 TMLRS for inmediate deployment into our foward bases. Ten large trasport freighters are underway to pick up the system. The money will be wired upon confirmation, its estimated at 7 billion.

Neo Sephrioth, your order is denied.

Pheanix, order confirmed. However, 5,000 units is quite a large order and will take roughly 6 NS years to complete the order once we get our factories at full-force export production.

Urukku, order confirmed as well. The shipment will be ready in 1 1/2 NS Years, roughly.
