Re: ARA 2nd Bn 20th Artillery 1st CAV Div
Questions:
1. How long it took for a ARA to shoot 24 Rockets (1st salvo)?
After an hour on google and other search engines I got this:
System - M3 armament sub-system.
"The rockets may be fired in single pairs or in ripples of 2, 3, 4, 6, or 24 pairs at the rate of 6 pairs per second."
2. What was the combat/cruise speed of that chopper?
Unknown, but seems to be close enougth to the huey.
3. How long did it take to re-supply all the 48 rocket slots for one Helicopter (important for ammo depot simulation)
Dunno. How long does it take to re-load a 2.75" rocket tube?
4. How much time it required to fly to the nearest Resupply airbase or camp?
5. What was the nearest re-supply base for the ARAs (PleiMe) ?
I'd guess it was An Khe. As the ARA had to be re-fueled every third trip. Which fits with the UH-1 refueling. So I'd Guess, An Khe, 13 mins away.
Other Stuff I've found:
MG platoon D co, 9x M60's, Comanded by: Sgt Warren Adams.
