Aiming rockets (Soviet)

[Jorge_S]

Is there any trick to aim soviet rockets?

with all certainty they won't hit the center of the sight, maybe try 10 or 20 degrees left (for the 1st shot) then 10 or 20 right for the second?

Salute!

thanks, that seems to work on the IL-2 (bigger rockets). but somehow the smaller, fighter based (ROS-82) go all over the place

You're welcome.  I agree: the RS-82 rockets are harder to aim and get hits with.  I usually only select them when flying LaGG-3, MiG-3, or Yak-1 bomber intercept missions in which they're useful against He-111s.  When flying the IL-2 I only use BRS-132 heavy rockets with 400m convergence and explode-on-contact settings.  

 

Here's a recent video Requiem put out.  Maybe it will help too.

thanks again!

that is it, range depends which gunsight marker post to use, I guess I was shooting to far away
