Hi Deputy
Ive got to agree with this also, heres something of relevance from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-82_rocket
"Like most unguided rockets, RS suffered from poor accuracy. Early testing demonstrated that, when fired from 500 m (1,640 ft), a mere 1.1% of 186 fired RS-82 hit a single tank and only 3.7% hit a column of tanks. RS-132 accuracy was even worse with no hits scored in 134 firings during one test. Combat accuracy was even worse since the rockets were typically fired from even greater distances. To further complicate the matters, RS-82 required a direct hit to disable light German armor with near-misses causing no damage. RS-132 could defeat medium German armor with a direct hit but caused almost no damage to light or medium armor with a near-miss. Best results were usually attained when firing in salvos against large ground targets."
These are the rockets mounted on the Sturmovic's
and from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilyushin_Il-2
"Although the Il-2's RS-82 rockets could destroy armored vehicles with a single hit, they were so inaccurate that experienced Il-2 pilots mainly utilized their cannon armament"
Bombs are obviously even less accurate again. And have a similar "near miss" no effect, ie they produce very little schrapnel. Many of the larger bombs appearing on fighter bombers in the game were I think never used against vehicles or AA weapons, but rather against larger area targets.
Best Regards Chuck.
