V-1 and V-2 Flying Bomb

Maybe one day we could get the V-1 and V-2 Flying Bomb in game for Germany as another call-in for the Radio Operators, just like the heavy bombing strikes in Stalingrad.

They were used primarily on the Western Front so they could be added to the Normandy campaign, as well as any future late-war Western Front campaigns

Imo it’s too big of a fantasy. Leave it to BFV.

These are not tactical weapons, the best they could do ever was maybe hit the city they were aimed at and even then it was kind of a dice roll

Those are strategic weapons like Superfortresses and Lancasters, none of which should be added

Its funny the whole reason this suggestion came to me in the first place was because:

I was playing in Berlin as the Germans and the Soviets steam rolled the first two objectives and I heavily fortified the Apartments sector. We managed to hold out against the Soviets for a long time and took so many of their tickets, but they eventually took the sector.

I launched an artillery strike on the Apartments as revenge, when I said to myself “I wish had some more firepower to really make them pay lol”. And that’s when I remembered Germany’s V-1 rockets, ironically the V stands for Vengeance lol

I will say that as I said the V-1 and V-2 rockets were used only on the Western Front and I love this game’s commitment to immersion so I know that if they were ever added they’d only be on late-war Western Front campaigns. I wouldn’t want them added incorrectly on the Eastern Front

The German Counter to the Stalin’s organ effect would be a Nebelweffer.

A 150 mm or the 280 mm Multiple Launch Rocket systems

I wonder when they’ll add the Katyushas to the game. We currently have the Sherman Calliope and Panzerwerfer 42

For more realism, I suggest that the missiles fall about a mile or two from the targeted point

That could be kinda cool but not as a playable vehicle, since it can’t really defend himself against infantry and don’t have any armor.

But as an artillery strike, that would be nice, like it would not be precise but the rockets would be more devastating

Already in the game as a premium tank, the rocket launcher system is on top of a T-60 tank in the battle of Moscow

The A4 (Aggregat 4 official name, V2 for media and propaganda) is not a primitive flying bomb, but a ballistic missile.
And not suitable to deal with small, cheap targets in a tactical szenario.

Now I know why

Are there not enough missiles in the game? They are more accurate than the V-1 and V-2

Strategic bombers also weren’t used for precision strikes 100 meters away from their own infantry.

Tbh, he was talking about balance changes.

In fact we dont have it, we have the tactical bombing wo was used during the battle using ligth/medium bomber (yes no at 100m from your troop but lets ingore that)

Strategic bombing instead use heavy bomber bomber wo can fly for long time and it, strategic target in enemy nation, like factory and railway

Il-4 were used to bomb Berlin at the start of the war.

You dint belive it reach it rigth?

They reached berlin.

The Soviet Union started a bombing campaign [ru] on Berlin on 8 August 1941 that extended into early September. Medium Navy bombers, accompanied from 12 August by Army bombers, conducted ten raids from Saaremaa island to Berlin with 3–12 aircraft in each raid, fifty in total reaching Berlin.[16] Heavy Army bombers, operating from near Leningrad, executed one raid to Berlin on 11 August, with only few machines reaching the target.[17] In total in 1941, Soviet aircraft dropped 36,000 kilograms (79,000 pounds) of bombs on Berlin.
