V1 /V2 Rockets

Would be very cool for events and I would think a fun new element for the MA if you added some rockets sites.

I could just be a new alternative to the "bomb and bail" crowd....

I would like to see the for the FSO and some of the special events. I don't quite know how they would fit them into the MA.

Chase them down with a Tempest and give them the "wing flip" 

[phatzo]

they could auto fly to the stats or hq so there would be a disadvantage to not chasing them down, make them worth heaps of perks too.

How do you chase down a V2?

But I wouldn't worry about enemy V1 / V2 at all, as long as they are modeled at least barely in accordance with real world stats...

At one point the russian freebirds version of warbirds had the V1 rockets as a somewhat player controlled option.

You couldn't steer it like a plane, but what you could do was set the bearing 0 - 360 and the distance. When you pressed launch you were a bug riding on the outside of the V1 rocket with no controls but an awesome view. If you were good, you could get enough clues from map, and terrain features so that after 3 - 6 try's you'd have the bearing and distance down and they'd be dropping on enemy buildings.

Would love to see something like this added to AH. Ideally with a limiter, ie everyone gets to launch exactly 1 of these each day, you pick launch site, and target. Or, launch site's would be limited to 3 -5 rockets per hour. So they couldn't totally overwhelm defenses with a wave of 100 + rockets.

Plus it would be a great add on to FSO, and special events.

Especially if we had a couple of nice V1 & V2 launch sites to attack.

And I can't see any reason for this to be hard to model... I mean, it's just a rocket..   Would be very cool in raids.. e.g. have the rocket launch site raid hit early while the rockets are being fueled, and light the whole thing up  

[Lusche]

And I always thought weapon & plane performance should be modeled at least loosely related to reality...

I think that Daddog said SITES, not the actual vehicle!

V1 & V2 were strategic weapons with abysmal accuracy, barely able to hit an area of the size of Greater London. In game terms you would hope to hit a specific sector, even a factory would be far to small to have any realistic hope of hitting it.

would be  a pure fantasy weapon.

It'd still be pretty cool to have in the MA, e.g. triggered to shoot at opposing HQs when a country was pushed back to its own.  In scenarios it'd be perfect.

The point of rocket sites without the rockets would be?

Moot I don't know!  Maybe as a target to attack.  I was just pointing out what Dad typed!  Don't attack me for correcting a misreading by everyone else.

[moot]

I attacked you?  Why do you think Daddog would suggest rocket sites without rockets?  I don't know how young you are.. But discriminating inquiry, eloquence and critical thought in any discussion should come to you as positive prospects, not negatives like shunning or condescension.
