Funked, what was the difference between the Panzerschrek and the Panzerblitz (can't remember)? And what was its relative capability to the 5.25" rocket?

The WGr 21 on the current Fw 190A-8 is an air-to-air weapon, and since the Luftwaffe had so much experience attacking armor, I thought it might be wise to add some specialized equipment for this purpose. MK 103 was used on prototypes only, and other cannon (MG 151/20, MK 108) were useless against late-war tanks. As a result, these specialized rockets saw production and combat in the last part of the war.
These are anti-tank AP/HE rockets. For anti-personnel duty the Schlachtflieger had a wide assortment of HE and cluster bombs.
Figure III. shows the Panzerschreck, which is an 88-mm infantry rocket (like a bazooka). These were introduced on the Fw 190F-8 in October 1944 and did not have satisfactory ballistics - they had to be released at 100 meters range for a sure kill. However with 12 of them I'm sure you could do some damage. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Figure I. shows the Panzerblitz 1, which was another 8.8 cm rocket, but with twice the explosive charge of the Panzerschreck, and a more powerful motor as well. This had armor penetration of 120mm to 140mm at 200 meters range, but maximum release speed was 305 mph. These were introduced on Fw 190F-8 in December 1944.
Figure II. shows the Panzerblitz 2, which was an adaptation of the 55mm R4M air-to-air rocket. These had a shaped charged warhead and very high velocity, and were introduced on Fw 190F-9 in January, 1945.

Maybe a quite nice HQ-Destroyer ?
We have 190, Ju-88 is otw (?) so maybe we could mix those two (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Hmm...
If we ever get "Mistel" I'd like to be able to pick up a passenger traveling on "Second-Class" (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
-Hey Newbie! Wanna ride in my new toy ?
-Sure Staga !!
-Okay... get in...
<after 10min ( (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)) flight to Rook HQ>
-Hey Staga... What are these boxes and detonators doing here ?
-uhmmm...eee....Dunno.. Put your recorder on (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Hmmm Ju 88 is coming right?
Mistel doesn't seem like it would be too hard. How would you control it after launch though? Put 190 on autopilot and have your stick control the Ju 88? Seems like it would be a nice tool for hitting the HQ. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Simple, you dont control it. You point you shoot and you pray it hits your target (as it was in real life). Of course the "bomb" could be shot down in the dive.
And the MISTEL mix itself should be interesting to hunt (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)...try to put a 20mm round in that 3 ton explosive head!!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

I'd rather see the G4M / Ohka combo then. That would be really cool. One guy flies the bomber, one guy flies the "bomb".

Arrrgh! Don't remind me. I am a Hill fan and this move is still a good reason to dislike MS. I'm now following Coulthard... DC for World Champ!!
