Flames of War American T27 Xylophone Rocket Launcher Battery
Devastating Rocket Artillery for U.S. Late-War Fire Support
Historical Background:
The T27 "Xylophone" Rocket Launcher was a U.S. multiple rocket launcher system developed in 1944 to provide mobile and concentrated fire support for infantry and armoured units. Mounted on the back of a 2½-ton truck, the system fired 4.5-inch M8 rockets in rapid salvos, saturating enemy positions with explosive force. Though less accurate than traditional artillery, the Xylophone was prized for its mobility, speed of deployment, and psychological impact. It saw action during the final phases of World War II in Europe, supporting attacks across the Siegfried Line and into Germany. Its devastating barrages made it an excellent tool for breaking entrenched defenses and suppressing counterattacks.
