Although unlikely, is it possible to hit another plane with rockets?
-
yes
-
I personnally have never used them but here is a thread that gives some good pointers on how too and even has a few films of the rockets being used.

I don't really like to go bomber hunting.

The only true air-to-air rockets in the game are the WGr21 rockets carried on certain German aircraft. All others are for air-to-ground use. The WGr21's, IIRC have a timed detinator.

one of my sons, halocris, has shot down a few bombers with them on his hog or pony.
xorro tried twice to do my bombers today, not so fortunate :D
I have tried, never made contact, but still get a kick out of it!

It's fun killing bombers with rockets. Although I've only done it once aiming isn't too hard. I was 1.5K out from B-24's in an F6F-5 and climbing to them, i fired volleys of two rockets with the bombers at the bottom of the gunsight. Only 1 rocket hit but that was enough distraction to get closer and kill the others right before he got my wing :D

Some one in my squad who I can't remember their name shot and LA a couple days ago with them.

D200 with the 190's 12 rockets with a .salvo of 12, you will get him every time! :lol

You'll also die from the splash damage.

I personally never carry ord, but if you have ever watched any of murdrs movies he uses the air to ground rockets on his 38.
I forgot which video it was (I have it somewhere), but he shot them at planes that were pretty much NOE over the ocean and hit a fighter
which garnered him a kill. Although I think he got a couple more kills with them shooting them at some b26's.
Back in AH1, I would always see him firing his rockets at spawning aircraft. I was got a kick out of that.

Anyone else find it ironic that someone named Estes never uses rockets? :D

Upped a F6F with rockets from a carrier, but we took the base as I was climbing out. Saw a C2 coming in ready to HO, so I thought "Why let these rockets go to waste?" Fired all 6 and killed the C2. :D
So, yes it is possible

that is very true. diving in on a set of buffs on the water fire rockets into the water just infront of them and you will kill them. :D

rockets on the 110. You can hit targets at 1.5K out, air to air.

As Estes is not my in-game name, I'm safe until they give us rockets to use on the BB. :)
In all seriousness though, I did fly in-game as Estes for years. And ironically I still never carried any ord. :P

My first a/a rocket kill was an act of pure desperation. Was in an F4u had been fighting fast and furious trying to get into a base to kill gv's. Realizing i was out of ammo other than the rockets decided to turn for home. Imagine my shock to turn and see a P51 coming hard and fast HO guns blazing. :O Out of shear panic and desperation i fired all my rockets at him. One went straight into his cockpit and 2 each tore off a wing. :rofl I had it on film for a long time and it always made me laugh. :)
