Pliiiz, gimme a V1 to launch on an Enemy base or Facility (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Just a wild thought realy, imagine being able to buy a V1 (Aye, ya gotta let um the opportunity to shoot it, so, no V2's...). Maybe buy it with perk points ?
I agree that the V1 was mainly a Terror weapon, not much accurate as I recall, maybe we could have a "man-able" version ?
this would be me: ----->

Dr Stangelove (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) - that movie cracks me up.
Dunno bout V1s tho, i cant see people consistently using them.

Indeed, there was a manned version of the V-1 It was called Fieseler Fi103. It was piloted by quite well known test pilots, as Hanna Reitsch for instance, to do testing for the actual V-1 flight performances.
Then, plans were raised for the manned V-1 to get operative and be used in attacks.
They weren't striclty kamikaze style attacs, as the pilot was instructed to bail after poining the artifact's nose towards its objective... As you can figure the chances to survive such a bail were almost none anyway.
In late 1944 the project was abandoned at all.
