Re arange order of rocket firing

[Nemisis]

I think it would be nice to arrange it so rockets fire from left to right in a line. That way when I am in a P-38J I can set the salvo to 3 and it will fire off a nice shot gun spread of rockets at my opponet. I can see where some objections could arrise. If you complain that it will give the other guy an advantage then if you can carry rockets then you have the same advantage...probably. If you don't then I would guess that means he can't get you any other way and would vulch you if he could, so he would be cheap anyway he could get.

If we already have it then forget it and let the thread die. I have an old machine but internet dosen't work with it (no wifi, and the socket for an ethernet cable won't work for some reason. I got a new machine today, but I need to set it up) so if we got it I wouldn't know.

Rockets fire correctly as is.

The fire left wing, right wing, left wing, right wing, etc... as to evenly distrubute weight changes. Having 4 rockets on one wing and none on the other, well, you'd be rolling better to the weighted side.

And that's the correct answer to the $64,0000 Question!

You get the same problem with bombs or having a DT on one side and a bomb on the other. Once DT runs dry then you drop it or even if you don't it is still lighter. I just think that with the rockets right under the fuselage that they would be pretty good at buff busting.

Lol. 1.) the 38 carries both bomb/Dt CLOSE to the fuselage, like the F6F, therefore not affecting weight.
Do this...up a 38 with 1K bombs, climb to 3K and drop a bomb while diving.
Up a Jug with 1 1K bombs, climb to 3K and drop a bomb while diving. You'll notice a difference.

2.) only if the rockets were german would they be at all affective to carry with the drag ratio.

If you're talking about the WGr's, those have got to be the draggiest rocket installations in the game

Not suggesting it be for 38's alone, for all planes. Same as I said before.

So you're saying that we should move the rockets from their historical position (the ROCKET RAILS) to fit your newbieness?

If I remember rockets on p38 and p47 shoot 2 on each wing then other wing shoots 2

I don't know if this ever got fixed, and I think it's just graphics anyway, but I noticed during the beginning of the Beta:

I-16: Final rocket fired is on right wing outer but shows being fired from the left wing outer.

Fw190F-8; Mossie; P-47D-40:  Only every other rocket shows as being fired.  They are still on the rails until the next rocket is fired then both rails show as empty.  This is for the last three rockets on the P-47D-40.

P-47N:  Same as above plus it looks like the rockets are firing from the P-47D-40 wing positions.  Not taking into account the placement further out on the N's wing.

P-51B; P-47D-25:  All rockets fire from the Left side, then the Right side.  Not L,R,L,R,L,R as on the P-38G and J.

P-38L:  Final two rockets show on the rail until the last rocket is fired.

F6F:  All rockets trails come from the innermost rocket rails on their respective sides.

Bf 110G-2:  Rocket tubes appear to still be full after firing.

He's talking about R4Ms, which had quite a bit less drag then the WGr's. They also raped buff formations. In one of the few properly conducted missions for the Me-262, around 20-30 262's upped to intercept a B-17 formation. All were armed with the 24 rocket R4M racks. They lined up behind them at around 700-1000m, and opened up. The buffs were slaughtered.

Personally, I'd love to have R4M's. But they wouldn't be used often, seeing as they were mostly used on the already elusive jet, but I'm fairly sure that the 190 had a setup for them.
