It was the He 111. This method was only used after all thre launching bases against England were captured.
And firing a V1 from a airborne platform moving in three dimensions  was way more inaccurate than launching from a fixed base.

So we absolutely CAN'T make them more accurate without crossing over into pure fantasy & fiction.
It needed several decades before cruise missiles were actually accurate enough to hit targets like our HQ's.

well thank you it was the 111 but as I said what about this maned V-1 ill look up on that as you won't acknowledge that

The manned V-1 was the Reichenberg-gerät  (Fi 103) and was never used operationally.

seriously though guys what do you think

I'd be for it.  Another gadget!  Would be cool to see them launching from a base upon takeoff.  

Mortars would be fine too along with larger artillery.

Semi-low buffs over a field, and fire off a phaylanx of V2's.

Would be a hoot.

im all for the V1.

630 km/h (390 mph) flying between 600 to 900 m (2,000 to 3,000 feet)

Thats not exactly fast for a missile. Alot of planes can intercept it, and then it would just be a waste of perk points.

the only problem is that if they shot at the V-1 they would kill themselves in the process.

the only way to do it would have to be higher than V-1 and have to dive on the V-1 to get over 600 MPH and get right next to it and roll the wings over were then it would crash and explode

No V1 did ever fly at 600mph, nor was tipping it's wings the only way it was killed by fighters.

How is it envisioned that the V1 weapon would work in the Game as it now stands.  

Would there be a set of launchers at each field.  How would the launcher be aimed?  Could a player selecting the V1 Launcher as his position at a field, like a field gun,  launch V1 after V1 after V1 and so on,  Is there an endless supply of V1’s at each field?

Is there a V1 factory? Or is it just lumped in with all the other ordnance at an airfield and if you destroy the Ord Bunker, no more V1’s at that field.   Would the launcher be a separate destroyable target on the Airfield or Vehicle Base where ever they are located?

And why not V2’?

NO V1's, for the reason of people asking afterwards, "Can we have V2's with NUKES?"

you havent read properly i said that the fighters tipped the V-1 wings and then the V-1 would go crazy and crash. I should have refraised the answer

as for how it would work, the V-1 would go to certin feilds like the 163 the red ones.
they would have launchers and they would have the V-1's up on the launchers.

you pick the V-1 and hit the "H" takeoff and it would luanch by itself it would give you a text saying "V-1 sucessfully tookoff" or somthing like that.

it would give you another text telling you weather or not it hit the HQ or not as it could be innacurrate but not as bad as it was.

I would call it an ordnace and if it acually destroyed all ords at the red feild then their in big trouble.

V2 needs bunkers and missle silos and it would be too complicated for AH.

Like I said many times before,
You really really really have to work on your reading comprehension.


You were telling us that fighters HAD to tip 'em over, because if firing at the V1 they would kill themselfves. While shooting at a V1 was a dangerous business, it WAS done.
