How about soviet technology in ww2?

[HuzzButt]

As of 1941 132mm rocket to Katusha cost around 3 times more than a 152mm HE shell. Of course the cost would lower over the time but I'd say the proportion stayed.

What about payload?

Costs don't matter in wartime economy, expecially in wartime command economy. Fat more important are the raw materials and man-hours used to produce one unit.

On the other hand the launcher was much cheaper than a heavy gun like 152mm howitzer.

That IS what cost measures for the most part.

Im sure he didn't mean money cost but real cost.

What about payload?

You mean explosive weight? Around the same.

If they didn't matter then artillery department wouldn't bother with counting the prices.
