At least rockets are forward firing.
I hit a fighter at 1600 ft with a rocket yesturday so it is possible albeit hard to do.
I hope that this thread gets shut down as i'm sick of irrational attacks on the use of rockets in what is very clearly a computer game and not world war 2.

I just cant agree here. If I realise someone is on my tail in a fight and they are using guns, I have a chance to evade and engage in a dogfight with him. With rockets more often than not the first you know they are on your tail is when you explode. No chance of engaging, no chance of evading, just instant death. Same with a head on run. If its two planes with guns it becomes a joust, with one plane carrying rockets it becomes the charge of the light brigade.
If someone is in a bomber I don't need to worry about them sneaking up behind and getting an instant kill or I can choose to ignore the bomber if I wish. If I want to engage the bomber I wont attack it from its 6, I will use a high energy dive on its roof.
