-The ''Wurfgranate 41'' was a projectile fired by the ''15cm Nebelwerfer 41''. It was spin-stabilized and featured quite an unusual design, with the rocket motor placed in the front and the explosive charge positioned at the tail. It was known for its utility, being used for all types of bombardments over the course of the war, including gas and smoke deployment.

 == General info ==
 The ''15cm Wurfgranate 41'' is best used at shorter ranges, due to it being inaccurate and highly affected by gravity, requiring the user to make aim adjustments based on the target's distance from the launcher. While the rocket contains a whopping 2.15kg of explosive mass, it is also large and has extremely poor penetration (27mm), which only allows it to overpressure enemy vehicles if a weakspot is hit. Such a hit, however, will almost always knock out the enemy vehicle without the need of a follow-up shot.
 === Effective damage ===
 The rocket is highly explosive, which allows it to knock out open-topped vehicles with shrapnel without the rocket hitting the vehicle itself. The high explosive mass will, in almost all cases, destroy an enemy vehicle instantly upon succesful penetration or overpressure. In the event of the rocket failing to pierce enemy armor, its detonation will still be powerful enough to destroy their tracks, immobilizing the enemy and allowing the user to more carefully aim their next shot at the opponent's weakspots.
 === Comparison with analogues ===
 The ''Wurfgranate 41'' is somewhat different from other vehicle-mounted rockets, such as the [[M8]], being heavier and larger yet containing more explosive material. That means it is less effective at longer ranges due to a slower projectile speed and higher firing arc, but is also able to overpressure vehicles more easily thanks to the higher caliber and more explosive power.
 == Usage in battles ==
 [[File:Wurfgranate41 1.png|thumb|The ''Wurfgranate'' after being launched, as pictured in-game. Note the still-active rocket propellant, which shuts down shortly after exiting the launch tube, after which the projectile glides the rest of the way.]]
 The ''Wurfgranate'' is best used against lightly armored and open-topped vehicles, which it is able to easily destroy with a single, often indirect hit. Should it be used against heavier opponents, the rocket has the best chance of knocking out its target by overpressuring its roof armor. Because of this, unless facing light vehicles, the user should always attempt to aim the rocket at the enemy tank's roof or turret front.
