Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

What I've found that works best for me is to use the standard gunsight, come up from dead six of the formation. At 1.5 out zoom all the way in on the sight and put the piper right above the lead plane. At 1K pull up slightly until the formation is right at the bottom of the sight but still inside the ring and chop your throttle. Give it a 3 count and fire while still holding a slight nose high attitude. The 3 count should give you enough seperation that the rockets will get there after about a 1.2 / 1.3K of travel.

The first time I ever aimed at a formation with intent to fire a rocket, I hit & killed the lead plane. That was with rockets on a Jug, and it was a strait 6 shot aimed high from about 900 out. I have never been able to duplicate, but have only tried about 5-6 times.

the nazi a2a rockets were meant to fire in LARGE 40 Plus formations..so you would get a better chance of sending shrapnel into soemone..


I look forward to TOD rocket attaks on 100 + buff formations

So any rocket will do damage if you managed to hit another plane with it, or do certain planes have air-to-air rockets available?

The WGr 21 rockets on german planes are meant for air-to-air use. They explode in an air-burst of shrapnel after a set delay, meant to damage or destroy aircraft that they are near. If they hit the plane directly (before exploding) the explosion is much greater.

We've tried the "being nice" approach. Didn't work, so we've move on to smacking him across the nose with a rolled up newspaper:D
