I believe that's a Scud you are talking about, that can be found by playing Battlefield Desert Combat

ahh no the v2 ballistic missile invented by the germans
u can find info bout here

Better drop a thousand foot and make another pass Soul :D

No.

There is no target in AH2 large enough for the V2. Basically you would only make a lot of holes in the countryside.

V-2 Balitic Missile was on a mobile platform after the first ones were destroyed by British Lancaster Bombing. However I believe the payload of the V-2 was larger than 4.000lbs (by alot), and HT says there will be no more bombs added that are larger than the 4,000lber we have now (for the Lancaster).

LOL I know what the V2 was just giving ya poop. When I first started this I was curious as to the possibility of their use in here as well. If it were to happen, and that would be a snowball's chance in Hade's(though it has snowed here in TX b4 :) ) Lemme make a few quick suggestions...
1. Make it COST!!!!!!
2. Enable it only @ Certain Bases( I.E. one's with some Alt on them)
3 Along w/ keeping their range and speed as accurate as possible(allowing them to be shot down), Aim them in Land Mode as you would a Cruiser's guns(to allow for maximum accuracy)
If I missed some imortant things i aoplogize, but I said a "few" :)

yeah like cities, HQs mmm.... and bases to just blow big holes in the ground
and take out hangars and towers and crap like that

we have bombers that do that fairly efficiently already.

ahh, so what it would be fun to watch a city get nuked! :t

ehmm you really misunderstood me.
The V2 accuracy was measured in many miles, not in feet. You simply can't aim for targets that small.

That's crap. V-2s were nearly 100% safe from being shot down. Not only was their blast radius larger than a fighter's maximum kill range (meaning that the fighter would be obliterated in the blast), but the V-2 was also supersonic.

Ok first off the V-2 was a Balistic Missle. It did not have any features of a nuke.

So you want to be able to just blow the AH world away? No more Dogfighting, no more strategic bombing, no more gv runs? Just blow up everything with a V-2?
-
Well first off...he would have to afford it.
-
How about no V2s?
How about acting like your a V2 in a P38? type .slavo 10 and have 10 rockets, climb to 25k and dive straight down on a city and fire all 10 rockets at the last moment, then say, "My P38 is actually a ballistic missile!"
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

You said Nearly...so there was a chance :)

Actually not.
Ballistic missile plunging down from 270K at around Mach 4...

You mean one of these.....

Id be in favor of the V1 because it was able to be shot down by aircraft.
The V2 however could NOT be intercepted and shot down. You could shoot them on the launchers or durring fueling but NOT after they had lifted off and gotten up to speed. It would also be more than 4,000 lbs of explosives in one bomb and i've heard that HTC wont go over 4k lbs.

yeah but i think both versions would work
the v1 and v2
v1 for short range small targets and the v2 for longer ranged targets and bigger targets

OH YEAH! are you a member of the aces high support ppl? u know u work for them?
add the v1 and v2 to the next version if you can
thx

Im sorry to burst your bubble man, but Adding the V2 has to rank up there on my list of dumbest moves HTC could make, right after adding submarines and planes that never saw action in the war.
The V1 could be a huge cost, capitol or uncapturable airfield deployed weapon, allowing the ability to hit not so far off bases or cities (Or for that fact, nothing because V1's were inaccurate). They could be intercepted and shot down or disabled via bombing runs on its launchers or by destroying the ammo factory.
The V2 however has no business in the game. It exceeds the maximum explosive payload limit, it could NOT be shot down due to its supersonic speeds after launch and speed windup. It would be pointless given the size of the maps and the semi ease of which one could decimate a map via V2's. The model above is a nice try to make a V2, however the missiles themselves to my know how were never painted in such a way. Adding in the V2 would make no sense and would potentially drive off players and customers.

No I am not an employe of HTC I am just a paying customer like you
who likes to dabble in 3D object creation and graphics.
Relorian
The image above is a V2 rocket I am currently working on not as
a launched rocket but I had a thought of creating a V2 Rocket
Factory as a strat object and true about the camo paint scheme
I had a cammo texture I just thru on for the render, I have not found any
pictures of V2's in that color but more in a black and white checker
pattern or a yellow and black checker.
I agree a working V2 would probably not add anything to the game
and probablly isn't very high on the HTC creation list.

V2's could be used like the 163, only available around HQ's with a range of 3-4 sectors. make them uber perked from bomber perks as there's not much to use bomber perks on.
also make it complicated to use so its not just point and click like the guns on the cruiser and only able to fire once every 5 mins or so.
the V2 had a 1 ton warhead so its under the 4000lb weight limit

Why not just add the V3 while you are at it?

Why would you ever perk a weapon like this in AH2????

Everyone has atleast 1000 bomber perks (unless your still new). So we'd have V-2's flying all over they skies.
Also, your sig breaks rule #11. Just lettin you know before Skuzzy finds out.

You are right - the V2 used a gyro compass with a theoretical 1% deviation. This meant that over the 320Km range of the rocket, the "hit circle" would have been anywhere within 3.2Km of target. Even this level of accuracy was never achieved with the V2, and about 1/3 of the missiles never reached target at all (they disintegrated in flight). The first V2 launched against London was aimed at the London fire squad, but instead landed in Chiswick - some 10Km away.
The only tactical employment of the rocket was against the Remagen bridge - 11 V2s were launched against the bridge - none hit.
The V2 is not a tactical weapon, and calling it a strategic weapon is a stretch as well given its inaccuracy. The V2 was a terror weapon plain and simple, designed to cause civilian casualties. It would be completely worthless in AH.
V2 LAUNCH IN AH -
1. You watch a lift-off of a cartoon V2 for 20 seconds, then it is out of visual range...
2. A few minutes later, it lands somewhere in a 10Km circle around where you aimed it...
3. You never see or hear the impact, as you are nowhere near there...
4. You check that strats a few minutes later to see if anything has been hit, it hasn't...
5. You whine loudly on Ch.200 that the V2 is porked/undermodeled and that HTC sucks.
6. You rinse and repeat.
Oh yea, that sounds like fun.

We don't need V-2's. Can we let this thread rest in peace now??

You may have gotten your wish... let's see what HT has to say. I'm taking 1:57 EST for the announcement... anyone else IN?

looks like it never happened
