V3 launchers have no problem shooting targets at different elevations (higher or lower ground). An elite V3 can obliterate most structures in one to four shots, and mass groups of them can overwhelm all but the most overtly reinforced base defenses, especially since they are the only primary land based siege unit capable of firing upon the Grand Cannon from outside its range. Of all the main siege units, the V3 launcher has by far the longest range and damage per shot.

It remained to be a valuable weapon in the commander's arsenal for the rest of the campaign. In the non-canon Soviet campaign, V3 launchers were first deployed during Operation: Big Apple, where they assisted in reaching the Allied battle lab between the Twin Towers. The following is based on the Soviet campaign of Red Alert 2 and might contradict canon. They had since been seen in every Allied mission as they attempted to dislodge Allied positions, often without success. A number of them were deployed to besiege New York City in the beginning of the attack and were responsible for the destruction of the Statue of Liberty. V3 launchers were widely used in the Soviet invasion of the United States. They were created to be a cheap and easily deployed missile platform that would make artillery attacks a viable option on American soil. V3 rocket launchers are essentially heavy cargo trucks with modifications that allowed them to fire V3 missiles at distant targets.
