Finally, PB1 rockets have been added to the Fw 190F-8.

What are these rockets, what's their speciality? (air to air/ground?)

During the latter part of 1944, air to ground rockets called 'Panzerblitz 1' were developed. The mounting of these were finalized at 8 per wing and replaced the outer bomb racks. The Panzerblitz 1 was in fact the mating of an R4M rocket with the 80mm mortar grenade.

search here for info too. TONS of past threads about them and the panzersrek (spelling??)

Ah, so it's an anti-armor rocket like the il-2 has?
Thanks for that :)
