Yes, we'll get the V2 Rocket right after HTC introduces the F-22.

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

my grandmother worked in ammunition factories in London, and my grandfather was on a sunflower class corvette (pretty much the worst posting you could get in the RN) working the convoys across the atlantic and up to the russians, including convoy HX229 which was made famous by postwar films.

i dont know about the rest of my family.  my grandmother at least spent the entire war in central London.

Learning curve is pretty steep. Need a healthy background in orbital mechanics so don't be afraid to hit the books and dust off the old TI-82 calculator.

Or just do like me and get VERY profecient with using the various MFDs. Once you learn to read them they make most orbital maneuvers rather easy.

The only way a V2 (or V1 for that matter) would work is if it was perked heavily and the guidence system worked like the big guns on the CVs; Click your target on the map and push fire.  Maybe there could be some sort of external follow view so you could watch it take off and go way the heck up and then crash back down.  Make them only available from large bases or even zone bases.  This could also create another strat target for the toolshedders...

Also a great way to get rid of those 5 billion bomber perks you all have saved up.

There's only 1 problem I forsee. Squads like mine have upwards of 60 guys, and we have a ****load of bomber perks. Even if these things have a CEP of around 100 meters, 60 missiles in the air at 1 time all targeting on 1 area - can basically launch a massive decapitating strike and have a significant reserve force left over. Would pose an interesting problem, LETS do it.

How about only five launch sites at each zone base?  Each one a nice juicy target for those porkin' fools?

Here's a neat site about blowing up V1 launch sites.  My grandfather was the crew chief for B17f 42-30342 "Tain't a Bird".  This link tells of it's demise.  It's a transated text so bear with it-
