Rockets
Rockets are powerful, but unguided munitions. They are best used against area targets (in particular
concentrated groups of lightly armored vehicles) at close range for maximum accuracy.
Rocket attacks are best performed in a dive of at least -30°. This requires the attack to be planned and
executed well with sufficient altitude to perform the dive, aim, fire, and turn away from the target at a
safe distance. For best results, begin the attack at an altitude of at least 3,000 feet above the target.
Complete the attack and turn off the target at an altitude of no less than 1,500 feet.
