Did anyone even try to do what I said?

Does anyone even pay attention to what I say?

sure we do, you dont seem to be paying attention to the evidence that there providing, since it completly disproves your point.

Seeing the thread on rockets and comments on the target command
What does target command do?
And say on a p51 mustang with 8 rockets how do you gauge where to aim with the things I went in to offline mode and I notice they seem to dip shortly after leaving the plane does anyone else notice this?

Rockets do not converge. As Goth pointed out, you can conclusively test this using the .target command at various ranges.

.target 300 will bring up a big target directly north of you at 300 yards.

# can be any distance from 1 - 999 I suppose.

.target 0 makes it go away.

Yes rockets fired will "drop" as they leave the plane. For best luck on ground targets use em like you'd use a bomb.

Dive in at 45 degree angle, hold a bit above your target, fire about 1k up, pull out of dive & look back to see if they hit.

Exactly where to aim does seem to vary a bit from plane to plane. IMO the F6f rockets hit closest to gunsight of them all.

Mostly a matter of repitition and getting a feel for speed vs angle.

Thanks Ghosth
how about plane to plane aiming?
any pointers on aiming them from a plane say a mustang or lightning?

Hmmm, I did test it out and they don't converge (as Pyro so elegantly pointed out that I was wrong). I could have sworn remembering them converging...

Might wanna rethink your opinion of the .30 cal 110 grain Winchester round, and a certain gun that fired it as well
