Short video: unguided rockets on bomber

[Triad773]

I was playing around with unguided rockets against bombers. It is hit or miss, but when it works it works very well. This is just a short demonstration video and exercise with no intent beyond the approximately 1 minute of film.

If the aspect angle is very low a head on or tail on attack can sometimes work.

My own recommendation is to dive below the bomber and the pull straight up so that one can fire at point blank from below. Most bombers have very large wing areas...

I normally set the delay time for my rockets to say, 2 seconds. Then, fire the rockets at the the bomber from the correct distance, and even if they miss, they will detonate near enough to cause major damage anyway. Just a bit of practise with how far the rockets travel before they detonate, and you're pretty sure of damaging at least one, or if a formation, 2 or more. Works nicely for me.

I had it set to 1 second delay which seemed to be rather tricky to pull off with any effect: I will try the 2 second and see if that results in more hilarity

Thanks for your responses guys

Cheers

and Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the States
