it would be great if like the 262 or other planes could have timed rockets. Btw, not making it up, 262's did use timed rockets.:aok
-
this model of the 262 couldn't have rockets
(I don't think...)
-
We do have timed rockets. WGR210 rockets (found on the 109G14, 190A, and Bf.110 G2) explode like flack after approximately 1000 yards.
On the 262, you may be thinking of the R4M rockets on the Me. 262 A-2 (we have the A-1). There were 24, which were fired all at once into a bomber formation with a shotgun effect. 1 rocket was enough to bring down a bomber.

I thought he was talking about delayed fuse rockets, allowing them to penetrate more and detonate where they could do the most damage.

i would love delayed fuse bombs (were pretty common in the war) would make NOE runs much safer :)
*EDIT* maybe only in b25's ????

"This test involved the successful imaging at close range of a boosting Orion sounding rocket by an NCADE seeker equipped AIM-9X missile launched from an F-16 aircraft. Although not unexpected, the subsequent intercept destroyed the target."

My mistake, the aim-7 is retired I do believe, but here's all you need to know about an aim-9
AIM-9 Sidewinder Missile

Weight: 186 pounds (84.44 kilograms)
Span: 2 feet (60.96 centimeters)
Diameter: 5 inches (12.7 centimeters)
Propulsion: Solid-fuel rocket
Guidance: Infrared homing
Warhead: Conventional

Aim 9's are still used but not as often, theyre aren't very reliable.
Most pilots when they fire the aim-9 sidewinder they fire 2 or 3 of em to hope that 1 of them will function properly. They usually won't keep a target lock or detonate.

quite the digression:rofl wtg lol
