Why not keep the recoilless guns of the ONTOS? A numer of nations were experimenting that kind of weapons in this period.

As far as I know, the only pre-WWII recoiless gun was the Davis gun. On the other hand, rockets are a known quantity. Mexico just got a rocket launcher from Siam and has observed Argentinian rocket experiments. At least for now, rockets are the way to go.Quoted

It's not the Ontos, I'm just using Ontos pics, cause I think the Ontos just looks cool!Quoted
I suggest that the Ontos is a little advanced.
Well, that's exacly what I was looking for. But I think it's still a bit early for any SAE-Mexican deals, maybe in a few years...Quoted
I know the Mexicans are highly sceptical regarding the SAE in general but here´s probably a chance for some business and better relations afterwards....

Its also interesting when you note that Siam is part of AEGIS, who Mexico see's as the evil empire, but that can be conveiniently egnored for the sake of aquiring tech. Nevermind the posibility that the tech could possibly be used against AEGIS in the future!

Le Prieur rockets are dreadfully inaccurate

Poor accuracy is the bane of direct-fire military rockets during this time period, it means you either have to be CLOSE to the target (so the deviation is limited), or fire a lot of rockets for a "shotgun" effect (where you accept the inaccuracy of an individual weapon but hope to make up for it with enough projectiles that you'll still hit the target).

There's plenty of pre-WWII rockets. Nothing early about them. The Russian RS-82 entered service in 1937.Quoted
Here we go again with the rockets. Why do we have to play tech so early?

Iberia would TRULY love to know what the Siamese are doing.......maybe they don't want the 12 dd's currently refitting?

Indirect-fire rockets, like the Katyusha or Nebelwerfer, simply accept the inaccuracy and fire lots of rockets into an area to try to hit the area.

Getting weapons from the enemy? So much the better!
