Title: convergence for rocket rails
Post by: Citabria on August 09, 2011, 06:38:25 AM: can we have a convergence slider for rockets similar to guns but one that allows a range of no convergence to somthing like 200 yd convergence?

It would be fun to actually be able to use the 190f8 and il2 rockets if they could converge like the cannons. as is they are useless as anti vehicle weapons that if more than one is fired and you try to aim at the tank they land on both sides of it.

it would be much easier to deack

I thought all rocket rails were parallel?

Then again, I am usually pretty drunk and seeing two targets...

I aim in between both of them, usually with a decent rate of success.

If they change the way it is, I am screwed. :noid

if they were, they don't come off as such, at least in the jugN--they cross the center

How can they be parallel if they end up in the middle of one's gunsight?

The further away they go the closer together they look?
