WGr21 gunsights

Oh geeze wow yes. The TA needs a visit for more than just that. I've downloaded both sights; I think I like the bar one.

Those Spitfire and P-51 kills with the rockets was amazing though...

The rest of the rockets in AH like the 5" Hvar's are not time fuzed, so they won't explode downrange unless they hit something. The WGr21 rockets were time fuzed so you can aim it, have it explode at a given range, sending shrapnel all over, doing lots of damage.

So no, not exactly.

Although there are a few (very few actually) reports of people hitting planes with rockets.
I did it once years back in a TBM, hit a p47 in a HO attack, popped him right on the spinner, blew the engine right back through the cockpit. Hugely satisfying, but incredibly difficult.

Wow that was amazing. I suppose I can't do the same with the 5" HVARs though, huh?

I managed to do it once as well. I was in a P-38J, turn fighting with a 190D. Was RTB'ing for ammo(30 .50 rounds, and no 20mm's). Turned inside him, and got to D100, and cut loose with the rockets (had them for the town, which was down, and everything I could kill on base was already down). Just barely hit the tail, but blew it right off.

Thanks, it's about all I do though haha.
