You are the guideance system,used in the Bob04 map would be awesome to try to pilot a V-2 all the way too target without any of the spit's and hurri's shooting you down.

the V2 is a balistic missile. this meens it shoots up into the stratosphere untill it runs out of fuel and velocity. then it hurls back down towards earth. you would not pilot it because it would be going too fast (about 2000mph) for the human mind to acurately hit a target. besides. the guidence was preset before launch so you would not even pilot it.

WTF?!!? Nothing in WWII ever shot a V2 down old chap, you didn't hear the damn thing arrive until it blew your house (or more likely a field) to smithereens. Anyone trying to pilot one would find their brains, and other internal body bits, being rapidly expelled through their anal passage long before arrival. Infact this whole idea sounds liked it was expelled from someone's anal passage.;)

I think all SR-71 pilots would disagree with that, they flew surprisingly accurate at that velocity

Well, not counting stories about getting lost at Mach 3... Nothing like ending up in another country before you find where you are on the map again...

the v2s were remote controlled by a bomber flying near the target area

They'd likely have hit their target then on to 'hooks'

they used midgets inside the V2 to feed the engine coal and to control where it went.  once the midget supply ran out they started using hamsters, but they couldnt shovel so much coal.

Peenemunde (where they developed the V2) is well renowned for its midget supply, and actually means "midget land" in German.
