So there we were, the 333rd Tactical "Special" Air Squadron, doing our usually silliness. We had just bombed an enemy town to try and tick them off and get the to up so we can dogfight them in our P-17's, we were quite successful. Several enemy fighters take off to engage our P-17s. Me and raynos form up to concentrate our firepower on Anarchy... I mean the Bish ;) . Flametux is off doing is own thing because he's too cool for formations.

Anything named Nebelwerfer 42 is badass...even in the West Berlin nightclub scene.

Depleted uranium bombers withstand all German munitions

Depleted uranium bombers do not get off the ground with WW2 era engines lol.

a2a rocket kills are so satisfying. That's freaking awesome lol

You don't say? ;)

In game, does the rocket have a timed or distance fuse? In level flight what distance does it typically explode at?

Very nice shootin Skully!! :salute
Love when guys make shots like that on me....Had a guy knock my 38 out of the air with his T34 a few weeks ago.... i was 1.5 away and flying away from him, Boom instant tower..... I couldn't salute the guy fast enough :aok

Subscribed for the answer to this...
-
They explode at 1.4k? distance
-
I thought that AA rockets work on proximity like the 5" and 88.

no its timed think believe it explodes 1.0k after launch

Heh no wonder I never got them to work when I tried to troll other fighters with them :D

I checked with a squaddie who is pretty successful with these a2a wgr21 rockets, and he said to creep up on the bomber formation, put the lead bomber on the top of the dashboard (sitting in the default position), and when the distance counter goes from 1.5 to 1.0 fire...

The Axis didn't have proximity fuses, only timed.

Formation? What's that?

No joke. I had same thing happen to me, main gunned by a T34 while in my JU87G... here's the thing - I wasn't approaching him, or flying away.... he nailed me from about 1.5K away with almost a 90 degree deflection shot! He was off my left wingtip as I was flying towards the spawn, and he was half way to our base.
I saw the shot fired and thought "Look at that idiot, wasting his ammo" then BOOM!! tower.
I wish I could have seen my own face. I think I jumped 6 inches out of my chair when he nailed me. 'Bout crapped my pants.
All I could do was laugh, and salute that guy about 3 or 4 times.

Tracers made up a gunsight and a tutorial on use of the air-to-air rockets in AH
a couple of years back. There's also a film viewer file of it in use.

They are timed so your closing speed also has an effect..............or it seems that way when I come in at 500mph.

My experience in a 110 is put the bottom of your plate gun sight on the bombers. When it switches from 1k to 1000 fire. Try to get a vid up here soon

I'm curious whether actually hitting one plane with the rocket makes for a smaller area of damage than exploding near multiple planes.
When I land a rocket on one drone, it seems to be the only one that goes down.

Odd! Long time no see mate.
Posted the link and instructions on the bbs a while back and know of a few guys who use it to great effect. Hopefully this thread gets a few more using it to kill strat runners and hq hunters. :rock
Beer. :cheers:
