different rocket types

play2often · #1 10-02-2009, 01:55 AM

i noticed that there are 3 types of rockets available for the sturmoviks: RS-82, RS-13, and RS-132. i'm curious if anyone knows which one packs the biggest punch for destroying bunkers and whatnot.

Not 100%, sure, but if it follows Soviet naming conventions, the numbers are usually the size, in millimeters. so I'd venture a guess and say the 132's are gonna be the biggest bang for your buck. If I'm wrong I'm sure Soviet Ace will let us know. Also, maybe try looking at your plane in 3rd person, move the camera around a bit, maybe they'll look bigger?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there are only two types of rockets. 82's and 132's. I think the 13 is just a 132 that got cut short.

If this is the case, I'm going to guess that the 132's are better just because they take a little bit longer to unlock, and because they have a bigger number

82's will fire individually one at a time with each press of the button

and 132's will fire in pairs with each press of the button

And based on a wiki article on the rockets the 132's carry LESS explosives then the 82s

thanks for the replies. this is kinda unrelated but i shot down a guy online w/ rockets by accident

(he flew into them when he got too close to the bunker i was annihilating)

oh and trk29 how did you not notice? you're the one who posted the plane/weapon unlock list that i was basing this post off of!!!
(thanks for that list BTW)

Annihilating?????? I swear flicking cigarette butts out the cockpit window at the bunkers would do more damage than the rockets ever manage. I've never even managed to take off a single ticket with direct hits from multiple rockets. Same with the weedy 50kg bombs, a whole payload dropped with 1 or 2 tickets deleted.

The only the the rockets are useful for online is killing bombers in the air and destroying landed CTA planes. Same for the bombs under 250kg.

If only there were some variety in strike targets to give the cannon, rockets and light bombs some use.

Im even questioning those uses. Trying to kill a landed plane, needs a shot to be 99% on target. I can destroy them just as easy with my cannons.
Would be nice to see the rockets tweaked in some way, so i might actually want to take some with me.
