Disabling it completely will immobilise the vehicle and result in a mobility kill.

At least 20% of damage is shared with its main 'health' pool.Ī damaged engine will severely diminish power output and prevent the M270 from attaining its top speed. The M270's engine is able to incur 56 points of damage before failing. The M270's hull can withstand up to 160 points of damage.

The M270 has enough seats to transport a crew of three the driver, a gunner, and a passenger, all of whom sit side-by-side in the armoured cab. Nonetheless, the high damage output of each rocket more than compensates for its smaller munition pool, though a supply truck will be necessary to resupply from on extended missions.

This is twenty eight less in total compared to the BM-21/RM-70 and overall less than static self-propelled howitzers such as the M119A1. Whilst its rocket pod can depress low enough to fire directly at hostiles (not recommended), it's extremely inaccurate at close ranges and is a complete waste of its munitions.īecause its rockets are almost twice as large, the M270 is also restricted to carrying only twelve rockets at a time. Other than its launcher pod however, the M270 doesn't retain any armament for self-defence like the Czech RM-70. The chassis itself is also quite durable, and can withstand a limited amount of punishment from light anti-tank weapons (though it won't survive against heavy AT). Unlike its Russian counterpart, the M270's cab is well-protected against small arms fire as even the windows are protected by armoured shutters. Likewise, indirect hits are more than capable of destroying the tank's external components and tracks, which makes the M270 a deadly anti-personnel and anti-vehicle threat. Even Main Battle Tanks like the T-90 are not safe, with a direct impact on the turret being able to cause severe, if not critical damage to it.Ī USMC M270 firing off a salvo of rockets. The most powerful rocket artillery vehicle in ArmA 2, one rocket from the M270 is more than enough to wipe out an entire platoon of infantry or light vehicles. The pod is connected to a fire control system with an artillery computer, which can automatically adjust and lay down precision rocket fire at any location from a maximum distance of up to 20 km. Based on a stretched Bradley IFV chassis, the M270 MLRS is a highly mobile, all-terrain multiple rocket launcher vehicle that is designed to complement lighter mortars and howitzer-based artillery systems.Īrmed with a 227 mm rocket pod mounted onto the rear of the chassis, the M270 can carry up to 12 high-explosive (HE) rockets at a time.
