Good day all,
Test vs. Combat conditions for WWII Rockets. IIRC rockets seemed to be a good bet during their trials, but when put into use the results were rather poor in so far as actual armour killed. With that being said, if I understand correctly, their main effect (outside of scoring direct hits on armour and soft skin vehicles) was scaring the bejesus of those on the receiving end of a rocket attack. IIRC the warheads tended to be equal to roughly 5inch naval shells or worse in effect. At times this caused troops to abandon equipment even if not destroyed.
As far as game play goes, I find roughly the same effect tends to happen. As a result I tend to target embarked or massed troops with rockets, saving cannons for actual anti-armour work. As the Germans I tend to fear cannon armed CAS aircraft more than rocket armed in regards to losing Panzers. The Hurricane with the 40mm Cannons, Typhoons and Stumoviks have had great effects on my units at times. Even when launching my own airstrikes kills are a bonus but breaking the enemy is always more my aim.
