Rocketing Bombers, Another Guide

[Sketch]

Mostly because of Dr. Zebra, I decided I would learn how to rocket bombers.

 

ROS82 HE rockets on the Yak1, and I learned that one rocket isn't enough to critically damage a HE111. You actually have to hit two rockets or more. 

 

Also, the ROS82s seem to be set to 600m convergence. Because of the difficulty in hitting a moving target right at your convergence point, it's easier to set your rockets into a series of four. This way if one set (2 of the four) of rockets hits, you'll critical the bomber. If you actually hit at the convergence point (doubtful), then you'll blow the bomber to pieces with all four rockets.

 

Some key points:

- The target has to be large and shouldn't know you're there, or at least shouldn't be able to juke much (HE111s, or JU88s mostly)

- You have to be above, or at least co-alt with high speed on the bombers and dive into them

- Pull up into the bomber's belly and fire as you're pulling up

- Aim one notch above the center of your pipper.

- Aim ahead of the target, guessing where the bomber will be when your rockets hit it
