Rockets
-
hi BMS people. i would like to know how you feel in general about rockets, specifically the LAU(?) HE pod. in default korea you can carry one per wing, and they seem to fire a ton of rockets.
strangely though it doesn’t seem to do anything. i recorded ACM of me firing down a line of KRAZ (as far as i know, a totally unarmored supply truck) now these are supposed to be hydra 38 rockets if i remember, so 70+mm high explosive. on the ACMI it said i hit with the whole spread, yet none of the enemy seemed to die. in the debrief apparently i missed the whole spread. the explosions around the trucks certainly seemed to hit them.
are they a deprecated weapon? maybe buggy? i’d like to use them anyway, even though they probably aren’t as good as the humble rockeye II. thoughts?

They are not buggy just the modeling is so weak sadly. BTW 70 mm rocket is very small in RL is very hard to destroy with it even a truck.

you’re right, but i’d imagine a pod of them could. what is that like 50 rockets?
as long as you’re relatively close the spread is very tight. i doubt a truck would survive.
i’ll just stick with MK-20D. i heart CCIP.

they have to be deployed at very low altitude in order to have some semblance of aiming; danger close really though look cool hitting area targets like refineries. Firing them at ground troops may only result in scaring the bejesus out of them and scratching the paint on armored vehicles hence I rarely load them.
