Title: R4M for GE?
Post by: LJK Raubvogel on October 12, 2000, 01:24:00 PM

If this has already been brought up, sorry, but any plans on giving some German planes the R4M rocket loadout? Would be a nice anti-buff weapon, and they were also used against ground targets with different warheads.

Err, none of the German planes currently in AH carried R4M? Have to wait for the Fw 190F-8 or Me 262A-1a methinks...

IIRC, couldn't they be shot well beyond the range of the bombers' guns (even with the artificial range increase we have)? I'm thinking like 1 km or so here.

Also, wasn't the velocity of the things close to the Mk108 cannon shot? Might be quite hard to get a hit on a single buff with those with ranges up to 1 km or so =).

Well, anyway, they might even get added but probably only on the Me 262 so that they are perked along with the plane.
