rockets and buffs

[madrid311]

I was attacking a set of buffs with my p-47. I foolishly spent my guns on them and was going to rtb. Then I remembered I had rockets. I shot down one with a rocket but missed on the rest. You know I was 200 - 400 out. I know my gunnery sucks but really? Any tips? It feels like you need to be point blank range. I know I wait to the last second second to de ack with the rockets.

The trick is to actually use anti-air rockets.... Not HVARs....

That's the boring way of dong it! 





I don't get to do it often but I like to pull a little more lead than my guns need and just launching everything as fast as I can. Works some of the time. My favorite time to use rockets is when someone if trying to take the HO shot! 


This La7 finds out the hard way why you shouldn't HO an F6F who's packing rockets.

if you play your cards right, you can take out a full set of b-17's from 1k out with 2 rockets from a 110. put the bombers at the bottom of the pipper and wait for range to change from 1.2 to 1k, as soon as it turns to 1k, fire!! the only one that can get you from 1k out will be 999000 and a couple of other guys, but for the most part you're pretty safe.

29k feet chance meeting after I turned around and headed home after chasing another set of B29s.

Yep that's exactly how to aim the 21cm's.

Actually really easy to hit if you zoom way in.  Make sure you fire really short burst .

no need for rockets in a 110.  i have shot down lacs from way over 1k just with cannon.
