Title: Me109 Rockets?
Post by: lassefa on January 13, 2000, 09:12:00 AM

Has anyone used the rockets on the 109?  What is their range?  I have tried killing  buffs several times, but can't figure out the range I need for a kill. As I understand it they should blow up after traveling a certain distance, with plenty of splash-damage...

I can't answer your question regarding the rockets in AH, but I have read several accounts that the 'mortar' they used in the German Rockets were highly inaccurate for air-to-air use, and were used primarily as a 'terror' weapon to cause rookies to fall out of formation.  If historically accurate, these should not be able to bring down a B17 in AH, since in real life it was highly unlikely.

You will have a tough time using them on a single buff. get several hundred in formation and about 15 fighters lobbing them at the formation and you might get lucky and get some hits /damage.

Thanks for the advice...  I'll bring some firecrackers instead.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
