General information

Gameplay
The UB-32 rocket pod is mounted on a variety of vehicles. Specifically, the:


 * Rocket Artillery Technical of the Insurgents and Irregular Militia, and
 * BRDM-2 Scout Car and MT-LBM 6MA APC of the Middle Eastern Alliance.

The UB-32 rocket pod fires S-5 high explosive rockets which are very deadly against infantry. The rockets are only effective against ground troops, and must not be used against armored targets. They are very inaccurate but the launcher essentially has no fire cap, allowing the gunner to spam and unload the rockets onto a group of targets. The rockets, like many other fired explosives in the game, have an arming distance. The S-5 rockets have an arming distance of around 20 meters.

The rocket artillery Technical comes has a milliradian indicator on the screen for the gunner which can enable it to act in an indirect fire support role, similar to mortars. Unlike mortars, however, the rocket Technical is mobile and can fire up to 64 rockets at a much higher rate of fire and longer range. As stated, the rockets are very inaccurate but can overwhelm the enemy by the sheer volume of fire.

The MEA BRDM-2 Scout Car and MT-LB 6MA retain the turret's gunsight for aiming the rockets. Unlike the rocket Technical, there is no milliradian indicator but the rockets are easier to aim. The increased turret sensitivity and the presence of a gunsight allow the gunner to easily acquire and engage targets even at a closer range. Instead of 64 rockets, only 32 (1 pod's worth) are carried.

When firing, the launcher emits a small amount of backblast. The backblast damage dealt my individual rockets is low, but since the launcher can be spammed, the backblast can kill friendlies standing behind the rocket pod. Use and fire it with caution, especially when close to friendlies.

Use : Have a SL present to set attack markers for ranging of this rocket artillery.

Furthermore, it is also used by the Su-25 Grach attack jet of the Russian Ground Forces and Middle Eastern Alliance during its attack run.
