Rocket Cart armor-bypass firing line

Rocket Cart: Rocket Carts can damage groups and buildings at range, and their many projectiles can threaten armored targets that resist other ranged attacks. They need a protected firing position to make that output count.

Overview

Rocket Cart: Rocket Carts can damage groups and buildings at range, and their many projectiles can threaten armored targets that resist other ranged attacks. They need a protected firing position to make that output count.

Plan and execution

Position Rocket Carts behind a screen and focus a dense group or a building that blocks the route. Keep them together so the volley lands in a useful area, and reposition if cavalry approaches or the enemy spreads out.

Risks and adaptation

Their individual projectiles are weak and can lose effectiveness against high pierce armor. Fast melee units can reach the carts quickly; do not deploy them without vision and protection.
