Obviously you can't shoot down a V2 in flight phase; it's a ballistic missile.  However, I have read an account of a Spitfire 14 pilot trying to shoot down a V2 on the launch pad as it launched.  When he saw the launch crew running for the hills and then thought about what would happen if he actually hit it and set off all that HE and fuel in close proximity to his plane, he chose to break off his attack.

Apparently you haven't seen the new rules...

I think V1 rockets would be awesome.  Didn't they have truck mounted launchers?  You could check one out from the VH.  The closer you get the more accurate they are.  Aim them like the big guns on the CVs.  250 bomber perks.  Probably no bigger waste of perks than the 234 and I'm sure you're all turning blue holding your breath waiting for the B29...

No they wouldn't be awesome or no the didn't have truck launchers?

1944: launching V1s from Northern France
By spring 1944 the war was going badly for Germany. The first V1 "doodlebugs" were not launched until June 13th - a few days after the D-Day landings. Their long launching ramps were hidden in forests, but easily spotted from the air, so were rapidly bombed. The Germans switched to mobile ramps, which they moved around the Pas-de-Calais area.

Almost 9,250 V1's were fired against London, but less than 2,500 reached their target. In flight they were almost as vulnerable as their ramps: about 2,000 were destroyed by anti-aircraft gunfire; 2,000 by fighter planes, and almost 300 by barrage balloons.

I also think barrage balloons should be inplimented to detract porkers and vulchers...

No truck launchers.
