Title: V2 rocket
Post by: cp101 on February 22, 2010, 06:49:47 PM
some V2 rockets would be fun just type in and pinpoint the coordinates at the launch area and just launch them. could have a range of 2 or 3 bases around a friendly base. BUT they  can be shot down by some of the jets. just somthing i thought would be cool  :banana:

It would be impossible to shoot down a V2.

You may be thinking of the V1.

Not sure about V2, but V1 would be good.  We just launch it off to the target the same way we fire 8 inch or 5 inches shells.

The V-2 travels at 3,280mph the ME 262...540mph F-22 raptor...921. But! the V-1 rocket travels at 400mph that could give us something to do with our bomber points.

Make it cost bomber points to send V-1 rockets, make them a solid 100 points+ and make them strong enough to destroy something. would be fun...

With a weapon that was so accurate it had hard time hitting a target the size of London?

Obviously you can't shoot down a V2 in flight phase; it's a ballistic missile.  However, I have read an account of a Spitfire 14 pilot trying to shoot down a V2 on the launch pad as it launched.  When he saw the launch crew running for the hills and then thought about what would happen if he actually hit it and set off all that HE and fuel in close proximity to his plane, he chose to break off his attack.

I think V1 rockets would be awesome.  Didn't they have truck mounted launchers?  You could check one out from the VH.  The closer you get the more accurate they are.  Aim them like the big guns on the CVs.  250 bomber perks.  Probably no bigger waste of perks than the 234 and I'm sure you're all turning blue holding your breath waiting for the B29...

1944: launching V1s from Northern France
By spring 1944 the war was going badly for Germany. The first V1 "doodlebugs" were not launched until June 13th - a few days after the D-Day landings. Their long launching ramps were hidden in forests, but easily spotted from the air, so were rapidly bombed. The Germans switched to mobile ramps, which they moved around the Pas-de-Calais area.

Almost 9,250 V1's were fired against London, but less than 2,500 reached their target. In flight they were almost as vulnerable as their ramps: about 2,000 were destroyed by anti-aircraft gunfire; 2,000 by fighter planes, and almost 300 by barrage balloons.

I also think barrage balloons should be inplimented to detract porkers and vulchers...

i say limited amount of V1s and only from the HQ bases like the Me163s.
