The anti-tank capability of rockets should be appropriately increased

Now the rocket bombs are weakened too much.
The newly launched F4U looks very good. It is equipped with 8 HVAR rockets and has 4 20-gun guns.
However, when the US military faced the Germans, its most important task was anti-tank.
Now the HVAR needs to be launched at a distance of about 1,000 and accurately hit the hatch to blow up heavy tanks like Tiger H.
Therefore its practicality is not even as good as P51D

This makes any fighter without bombs pretty useless.

Rockets are still way too easy to use, no need for skill nor fancy flying.
Just circle jerk between objective and restock point.

Press r to delete KT, right

Why not give you B25, press space to kill all germans.

Hvar has 39mm penetration. Now it kills kt only by bug, just like hand and impact grenades

You could give a corsair a Tiny tim, they used to hang them on him.

Yeah, they should reduce blast radius for HVARs, so it wouldn’t be so OP against infantry.
But devs rather choose to make them completely useless against vehicles.

I guess annihilating 30 enemies on objective is okay, but killing 2 camping tanks is no no for devs.

Indeed, the effect on infantry should be reduced and the anti-tank effect should be appropriately increased.

Rockets werent nerfed. They were overperforming .
Look at wt stats.
You need to take out tanks easily ? Use bombs. Bombs were the primary anti tank weapons of planes in ww2

really love these random dudes who justify poor game design and balance with historical facts.
Enlisted is more game than educational material, get over it. Game desing (and balance at this point) is far more important than history.

Quite opposite, having a fighter with CAS ability is a massive advantage.
Just saying since my G-14 for example doesnt have any cas ability outside of random hits with 20mm to infantry.
Yet the fighter is must when fighting against constant HVAR spam of murrica.

Theyd be surprised how ineffective the cas actually was against tanks.

I too have noticed an uptick in posts from people who offer ideas that are so backwards and wrong for the state of the game. If it’s not a person begging to have a larger “large” grenade pouch, or the ability to have more rifle grenades with more mine slots and grenades on all soldiers, it’s the ability to 1 shot tanks from 999meters up in the sky.
