In game, does the rocket have a timed or distance fuse? In level flight what distance does it typically explode at?

I thought that AA rockets work on proximity like the 5" and 88.

I checked with a squaddie who is pretty successful with these a2a wgr21 rockets, and he said to creep up on the bomber formation, put the lead bomber on the top of the dashboard (sitting in the default position), and when the distance counter goes from 1.5 to 1.0 fire...

The Axis didn't have proximity fuses, only timed.

No joke. I had same thing happen to me, main gunned by a T34 while in my JU87G... here's the thing - I wasn't approaching him, or flying away.... he nailed me from about 1.5K away with almost a 90 degree deflection shot! He was off my left wingtip as I was flying towards the spawn, and he was half way to our base.

I saw the shot fired and thought "Look at that idiot, wasting his ammo" then BOOM!! tower.

I wish I could have seen my own face. I think I jumped 6 inches out of my chair when he nailed me. 'Bout crapped my pants.

All I could do was laugh, and salute that guy about 3 or 4 times.

  Tracers made up a gunsight and a tutorial on use of the air-to-air rockets in AH
a couple of years back. There's also a film viewer file of it in use.
You can find it here:

They are timed so your closing speed also has an effect..............or it seems that way when I come in at 500mph.

My experience in a 110 is put the bottom of your plate gun sight on the bombers.   When it switches from 1k to 1000 fire. Try to get a vid up here soon

I'm curious whether actually hitting one plane with the rocket makes for a smaller area of damage than exploding near multiple planes.

When I land a rocket on one drone, it seems to be the only one that goes down.
