Pyro - Can you post data about LW air-to-air rockets

2- Looks like the speed peaks around 750 fps when the motor burns out.

Pyro, may be you want to revise these numbers.
Peak speed should be about 1050 fps after 1.4 seconds from launch, reaching 1100 yards in 3.7 seconds. Target should be placed 2 degrees below Revi center to compensate 25 feet drop at 1100 yards.

I assume these numbers does not consider the speeds of the launching plane/target.

YOu mean those things actually work? I was gonna write these up as a bug.
 From what I noticed is when I use them offline they due indeed make a black puff explosion. And damaged a few drones with them. But I can never get them to work online.  No puffy cloud, nothing, nadda. Just the white trail of smoke it makes leaving the aircraft. And the additional drag.

In 2 years, firing from 6 or 12 I have yet to do any damage to a buff.  Last month I fired 1 at a B17 formation from their 3 oclock.  Got my first kill. lol

OK, I gotta try this:p

I'm a sucker for buffs and frequently die because of it. If these things actually work, I may quit flying the Jug and learn to fly some Hunmobiles.

What planes have them and what is the name of the rockets I need to load? I'll work out the rest and post the data if I have any luck.

BTW, Air to Ground rockets work wonderfully when the vulch light is on:lol

You outta join my 190A5 and I'll show you how to hit buffs with these rockets. They are quite easy to use and you get a good laugh from  "wtf" scrolling on 200 soon after you kill the  formation. A while back I killed a 152 and p38 in the same sortie with a rocket each.

Here's a pic I made for my squadies showing how I use the rockets. Just put the con inside the yellow circle and fire a rocket.

Yes these rockets will ground detonate. I have had proximity kills on 2 jeeps, numerous town buildings, and direct hit kill (1) on an M3. Just learning to use them for Air-to-Air.
