Artillery rocket question

[eckherl]

They are defenitely more scary than conventional artillery.

Once a battery of MARS (MLRS) started firing at the range next to us without us knowing that they where there. We nearly shit our pants when the rockets screamed away.

BTW, how good is the shoot and scoot capability of modern MLRS?
I really have no idea about it not even about our own MARS.

Shoot and scoot capability is quite good, once stopped and firing data recieved/inputed it takes about 2 minutes two start launch sequence and around 60 seconds to fire all 12 rockets.

I know that they cannot let out a "burst" as fast as a modern SPHs but nevertheless they are a mobile artillery system so there should be a known timeframe during which they can complete a fire mission including getting out of the firing position.

That it is completely inferior to a modern SPH is obvious nevertheless I am interested in the general timeframe during which counterfire could be effective.

They were able to keep pace with us in Iraq and they were always there when that type of fire support was needed, they may take just a little more time for setup, but hey, they can wipe out entire grid squares on a map alot faster than modern SPH`s and do it with less platforms, thus some of the benefits.
