V1 /V2 Rockets

[NoBaddy]

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.

Oh my yes. They would automatically fly FROM the country in the bucket to hit the HQ's of the other 2 countries. This could be entertaining. 

[waystin2]

I vote yes for addition.

And just how many square miles was greater London back then?

Don't get me wrong, I was not asking for the way it has been done.
I was just saying that it had been done this way before.
I fully expect HTC would do it better.

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.


This
would be  a pure fantasy weapon.

The "Luftwaffe Handbook 1939-1945" states the V-1 accuracy as follows:

Range up to 210 km: 50% zone radius = 13km. That's a circle with a diameter of 16 miles, which only 50% of fired V-1 are expected to hit
Range up to 320 km: 50% zone radius = 20km

It gives us something cool to shoot at, and is one more piece in the WWII immersion puzzle.

[opposum]

I also vote yes for the rockets

When I was a lad they dug the remnants of one out of a field a couple of miles from my house and we lived 100 miles north of London.

Perk it! like the 262... and make it only launchable to the HQ...
so we get ride of bomber perks and use it on a rocket that has a 1 in 1,000,000 (or more) chance of hitting HQ

And just how many square miles was greater London back then?

At the beginning of the Blitz, greater London was 720 square miles. The largest city on earth when measured that way.

[moot]

Daddog did you mean rocket sites with or without rockets?

Strange, London's only 650 square miles or so now. Can't see how it would have shrunk.

I aim a slap at the side of your head for insinuating reality should enter this discussion

Sorry moot, Spacer, I did word that poorly, but I did mean rockets too. My bad.

Just to clear up what I was asking for, but first realize that my focus is always events. If I request something and it could be used in the MA, all the better. I do realize that HTC and most players look at most things from the MA perspective as it is the bread and butter.

I was asking for V1/V2 rockets and the sites. As NB mentioned and what I kinda envisioned was some occasional rocket launches to enemy HQ or other strat targets. I did not really picture anyone ‘flying’ them, but putting in some simple coordinates and letting them fly. I remember reading that most sites could not launch more than 10 a day so we could see about 1 every hour from a V site. Early V1’s had a speed around 380mph so they could be caught by some of our faster AC. V2 speeds not sure.

Just another element of play for the MA and certainly adding rockets sites with working rockets for our events would be a great addition for our later Euro war events. They (I can only imagine) would be easy to model and give players an additional element for air combat and strat targets in the Late War MA.

I think it'd be very cool.  Permanently aimed at the city, and at all strats in the HQ zone (HQ included) when the rockets' country is down to some arbitrary number of fields or something like that.

...and I accept your slap and say....
