Any possibility that the rocket paths when fired can be corrected so that they don't follow the gunsight and instead the direction the aircraft is pointing. As it is rocket paths match the gunsight like they would on modern attack choppers.

Umm...doesn't the gunsight follow the direction the aircraft is moving?  :)

not if your using any rudder... for some reason when yer using rudder the rockets will fire in the direction the aircaft is GOING and not the direction it is FACING.
