V1/V2,

Actually, I would really like an F3 view, because it would really cool!

I was assuming one would have to ride the V-1 along until it was shot down or impacted. Either way, one would get the "You have been killed" message.

I'm also assuming the damage to town buildings etc would be done simultaneously with becoming dead.

Other advantage is, we wouldn't need cockpit art for a V-1. Just a blank view of the outside world. Would it have to have a gunsight, given current "coading"?

I don't even think it would be worth making speed and altitude variable, though these did vary IRL. Might be some difficulty in launching from a field at say, 1,500 feet above sea level to hit a town at 10 feet above sea level.

I rather think of it as a projectile, but being able to view it as the launcher (F3 or F4 mode) would be cool.
The cruise is simple, just enter the preferred alt.
On the dropping site, the tail actually puts it into a vertical dive.
(some kind of mechanism)
"Divers" they called them in the UK.

Well, brainless cruise missiles.

Not realy bainless, they ussed advanced gyroscopes for that time

" It was guided by an advanced gyroscopic system that sent signals to aerodynamic steering tabs on the fins. It was generally inaccurate due to errors in aligning the rocket with it's target, premature shut-off of the motor and inconsistencies in electric current in the guidance system"

 "two-frame gyroscopes were paired with three-frame instruments to correct roll and pitch motions and to provide automatic steering, respectively. The Germans used this combination on the V-1 flying bomb, the V-2 rocket, and a pilotless airplane. The V-2 is considered an early ballistic missile"

Brainless in the regard that they would not avoid a mountain.
In AH that would force one to launch higher if the terrain is different.
