Any guesses about 190F-8 having a Panzerblitz rockets?
I think they will be in in some form, afterall P-47D-25 has option (I think) for basically six Bazooka tubes fitted in bomb racks. Earliest 190F-8 models could be equipped with similar arrangement of 8 Panzerschreck tubes and I have seen pictures of them in use. Funkster has posted drawings of it in this board earlier.
Later development was Panzerblitz 1 and 2 which were launchrails for 12 or 16 modified R4M rockets. This would be very effective antitank system! Apparently Panzerblitz equipped F-8's racked quite number of kills during last few months of war agaisnt soviets, I can post some numbers later.
German antitank rockets differ from allied rockets in size and range, they were smaller and intented to kill vehicles only unlike allied rockets which were multi purpose projectiles. German rockets were also shorter ranged. In arena F-8's rockets would be useful for killing vehicles and ack but nothing more since they have little punch agaisnt heavier structures.
So, any guesses what antitank rockets F-8 will have, if any?
