- High destructive power
Cons:
- No horizontal guidance
- Only faces the rear of the ship
- Unguided rockets limit the precision of the weapon
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template.
