V1: Just what if....
« on: April 08, 2008, 02:11:08 PM »
I know this has been on the wishlist before and most likely would never end up in the game, but what if it did. How do you think we'd be able to use it?


I think for one it would be perked.

Launched from only certain bases

Aimed like CV guns on land mode

If it would be modeled after real life specs, no need for perking. You wouldn't  be able to hit any target in AH - they are too small. You could only aim for a whole sector...

Here is a rough outline of what I would do....

Accuraccy is limited to somewhere in the selected target and has completly random impact point. In WW2 V1 were capable of hitting targets such as London fairly often so this would be a fairly good compromise. If you have it any less accurate the V1 would be a hangar queen and anymore would be truely unrealistic. Our towns arent 20-30 miles across so sometimes gameplay has to be held a little higher than historical facts. I agree the V1/V2 were less accurate than perhaps even night bombing and so its not the issue.

Selectable targets are strats, towns, and airbases.

Perk cost would be around 50 bomber perks. (Read on before final judgement.)

Limited to 2 per hour and 5 daily per person.

Bomb load would 2000 lbs.

Range would be 125 miles.

Ground speed of 375 mph.

Flying alt of 4000 feet.

If we ever get a HE-111 perhaps a air launched version.

Gyroscopic stabilization would be modeled so a aircraft is capable of flipping the V-1 over using wind forces. (In WW2 the preferred method.)

Launched from any base within 50 miles of HQ.

Each launch base would have V1 bunkers that would disable function if destroyed. The exact amount would vary in relation to size of field.

Anyway this is the general outline I would like to see. IMHO we wont see this for a long time, if ever, perhaps maybe in a few years. I would love to see something like this tho. Feel free to Add/Subtract/Modify anything I have posted. Who knows what HTC might take on next.
