It would be interesting to 'fly' something like a V1, but I'm not sure this is so easy to modell

Incidentally, there's is no way in hell a V1 could hit a ship under steam @ sea.  I'd be impressed if it hit a ship sized target anchored at dock. :)

The V1 clould, usually, hit a target the size of London, if it weren't moving.  Usually.

I vote for V-1, even the eninterceptable V-2. (gives you a ground target job)
V-1 is not just a waepon, but also a target for the faster fighters. Will definately make an interesting sideshow in AH's wars.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

no they wouldn't.  they didn't have the accuracy to hit pin point targets, let alone moving targets.

ok how will you aim it? they aimed it by mathimatical methods. is htc going to hand out slide rules? basicly they pointed it and calculated how much fuel it would take to get there. when it run out it fell.
it would be like aiming rockets on a pt but a hundred times farther away.

Such weapons according to NUMEROUS  sources that the V1 and V2 were way too inaccurate to hit strategic targets like bunkers and certain buildings, ships, etc... so sinking ships is out of the question.

One good idea is have the higher ranking individuals of a team launch one of these things from a base near HQ area to whatever target like a factory, or a city. Once every few hours or days
