Finally, PB1 rockets have been added to the Fw 190F-8.


What are these rockets, what's their speciality? (air to air/ground?)

During the latter part of 1944, air to ground rockets called 'Panzerblitz 1' were developed. The mounting of these were finalized at 8 per wing and replaced the outer bomb racks. The Panzerblitz 1 was in fact the mating of an R4M rocket with the 80mm mortar grenade.


search here for info too. TONS of past threads about them and the panzersrek (spelling??)
I don't know what to put here yet.

Ah, so it's an anti-armor rocket like the il-2 has?
Thanks for that :)
