Has been mentioned before, but squeaky wheel. It would be nice to win a big lottery so I could throw a few million at game development.

I figured.    Darn.   Would be a cool feature.  If you can automate CV groups surely a random V-1 now and then.....

For the early portion of thier trip, they are super vulnerable.

We already have those in game...

Haven't you ever seen a Bishop in a P-38 dive-bombing a hanger then augering? That's just HTC covering up alpha-testing for buzzbombs...

Pretty sure the buzz bombs where still more accurate :P.  Certainly had better ACM.

V-1's would be nice. They could be used at a cost of a few perk points (or not). Of course you will loose the points when used. They could be aimed the same way  you target a field with 8" or 5" guns. Also you could fire at the closest field only or some set radius.

Buzzbombs!

Perk them

Have 5-6 launch a few seconds apart during each perked salvo

Have them randomly hit within 1/9 of a grid:

i.e.: I selected 5,6, keypad 5: they would all land in that 1/9 of a grid square.

Have a time limit between salvos fired at the same coordinates.

The launch sites would also give us more targets.

Modeling V-1s would be modeling launch sites akin to a base or a task force. While having such would be even cooler because you have a very interesting ground attack target how are you going to perk a launch site? They could be AI and just launch at a target within range that is algorithmically selected at a time also randomly algorithmically selected but that's part of the AI quagmire lots of players detest.

This would be a game addition hated within a rather short amount of time after added, I think. At least in the MA. Some western Euro event maps or AvA maps, however ...
