Post by: SKurj on May 28, 2001, 10:03:00 PM

Someone probably has asked this before...

What is the difference between the 2 rocket types on the Il2?

It has to do with size.  One set is 82mm rockets, the other is 132mm.

One makes a bigger bang than the other - which is nice.

Both are also High-Energy rockets; Not Anti-Tank models which were named as RBS-82 or RBS-132.

Staga, I think you mean, both are supposed to be HE.  They will kill tanks, at least the bigger one's will.

Whats the advantage to taking the small ones...?
