A huge horde of buzz bombs taking out all the fighter hangers at an airfield probably won't be the best idea for promoting combat imo.

No, but maybe a V1 base that launches buzz bombs into the strats.

I was thinking the occasional AI launch of a buzz bomb would make a neat intercept scenario..

The V2 could be like a long range 88 where you adjust the a&e and let it fly...if it hit something it would be destroyed immediately

This states 150 miles...

That would be up to 6 squares in ma I think

Traveling at 360 mph it would take just under 30 minutes to go the max distance

I think it would add a neat new feature with many variations to how it's add to the gameplay

MA Fuel burn rate of 2.0 should limit that to 3 sectors or 75 miles
