Would love too see this weapon incorporated into the game somehow.     :x

Interesting. But how would want it to work? For pilots to be able to launch a V-1 or for the Techs to launch periodically at a base, or to have missions in FSO to fend off V-1 attack on Britain?

My guess is it would need to function something like how conventional artillery would: Not directly player controlled, but can be called in on a specific target. Only significantly less effective.

V-1's were launched in hordes for maximum devastation, and for a higher % of hitting the target.

I think that they should be only able to hit cities (if they made it that far)they should be susceptible to AA and of course it would be fun to shoot one out of the sky as long as you keep several hundred yards away, or flip one over wing tip if you are skilled enough.
Make one able to launch per hour per base and make each city able to take say 4 V1 hits to knock it out.  More fun for ground units also since you wouldn't have to knock out most of a airfield.

It would be an interesting add, inaccuracy and all. :aok

I'm not sure the V-1 had a such a devastating fire power that it could be able to take down an aces high town with just 4 V-1's.

I'm all for it with one caveat.











You must stay in the tower until your buzz bomb hits a target or is taken out.

You launch... buzz bomb poofs.

If modeled correctly it is doubtful even 1 of the 4 fired would be able to hit it with any effect.

If it were added I would suggest it show up on radar as soon as launched.

That's just it, i feel that there would be a medium chance of the weapon even reaching its target since only one airbase per hour could launch, and the launcher wouldhave to idle until the bomb either hits target or is shot out of the sky.  Give it a high ENY.  It would force more Coop, i think .  Just an idea.

It should show up much like a high altitude bomb group, giving you just enough time to get to altitude if your quick/lucky enough.

My guess is we won't be seeing stand off weapons like the V1 and V2 with the exception of some self propeled guns, untill we've filled out all weapons in the war that saw more use.


Interesting. But how would want it to work? For pilots to be able to launch a V-1 or for the Techs to launch periodically at a base, or to have missions in FSO to fend off V-1 attack on Britain?

I could see the RV8 being enabled, and being able to call down V1 strikes ontop of where its flying (like on 5 square k's around it) from the base it ups from.

I'm not sure the V-1 had a such a devastating fire power that it could be able to take down an aces high town with just 4 V-1's

For that reason, it should be HORRIBLY inacurate, you get 6 launched, with a 5% chance of all of them hitting your intended target.

A V1's relative accuracy could be tied into how much damage the factory in which it was produced recieves. More damage, less accurate. Less damage, more accurate. Makes for some great bomber/fighter action, I would think.

how can you tie factory damage to accuracy?
