Anything and everything with a rocket motor. Said rockets available on all aircraft which carried them in the war.

tha No0K :O
j/k

The Henschel Hs 294 Air to Ship wire guided bomb. So I can pwn the CVs outa the range of the 5" dweebs.:aok

hmmmm V-1, cause V-2 would be impossible to destroy. i'll use for 5 perks since it have a SUPER low accuracy and drone ju88 carrying 1 tons (or 3 tons i think) of explosives dropped from a another ju88 or Fw190, funner than dropping a 4,000lb from Lanc.

Didnt Tempests and Spitfires use their wings and tip the V-1 and V-2s so that they would crash into the ground?

Vengence weapons? That would be sweet. A bunch of perked munitions that we could fire into the mostly uninhabited countryside with no effect whatsoever. I know how I'd spend all my perks.
Is summer over yet?

Nope Hub, we have just begone.

The V2 was vunerable on the ground and for a few seconds after lift off. After that its ballistic trajectory took well beyond the scope of anything WW2. The V2 was in essence the first SRBM. The V1 on the other hand was a low level cruise missle. One of the first tomahawk stye to be flown. Both were amazing acievments in there time. The V1 flew at roughly 450 mph on the deck and was killable....tho with guns mostly. To my knowledge the V1 was never tipped over with another planes wing.

I didn't know that Hawker and Supermarine made space interceptors
for those pesky V-2s :D

After doing a little research, it seems that actually shooting down a V-1 was rather tricky. You could only use cannon rounds from a fighter, but if the rounds detonated the warhead the explosion could destroy the fighter or damage the fighter from the debris. AA guns were also used as well as the method of "toppling". The fighter would use its wing to get extremely close to the V-1 and use the airflow to override the V-1's gyros and send it into a dive.
So AA, fighter guns, and "toppling" were all viable methods in destroying a V-1. It would be interesting to see how HTC would incorporate at V-1s and the defensive countermeasures developed to combat them into the game.

I'd like to see all ord perked.

to those pilots. Damn. Those pilots must have had to sit in specially designed seats, big enough to house their really large balls. No way in hell would I fly that close to that big of a bomb attached to an experimental rocket.

I doubt that this would ever even be considered....but it would be great fun.
