16:07 Air to ground and air to air rockets were used surprisingly early in the war, from 1942 onwards IIRC. The British equipped Typhoons with them, but also Hurricanes and even Swordfish in ASW roles. Air to air missiles were also used by the allies for bomber intercept missions since it was easier to take down larger air targets with these.

[@FeedbackIRL]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@TADAMAT-CZ]

Germans even had homing Air to Air missiles during the end of the war. Very bad ones that had to be controlled by a joystick, but still, a homing AA missile

American planes used unguided rockets also, P-47s, P-38s, P-51s, Corsairs, etc all carried them. They were not very accurate, but when fired in salvoes they were pretty effective on soft targets.

The rocket thing you mentioned, there was an American scout plane that the pilot had used to take out tanks during World War 2, he wired a couple bazookas to a L-4 Grasshopper and took out a few armored cars and tanks. His name was Lt. Col. Charles Carpenter.

[@PadaV4]

Uh the Luftwaffe actually had planes with rocket weapons so they could launch attacks from a distance on the tight flying formations of the Allied heavy bombers without risking getting hit by counterfire. You can look up the "Werfer-Granate 21" on wikipedia.

[@leothecat9609]

Hi. Just did the early French Little Entente path (on historical mode): Spanish war, then fighting together with CZ against Germany & Italy. As you posted a few weeks back. In the end no big changes, the Entente won and then again against USSR and Japan. Two glitches, however: there was another Spanish war around 1944, no idea why it came, and with similar steps as the original one. My aviation annihilated the opponents. Second issue: the peace conference might still shows strange results: Carlist Spain survived as an independent state, while I surprisingly took a bit of Catalogna for myself. So did Fascist Italy, despite depositing Mussolini and losing the war. Same thing for the USSR. The puppeteering from different sides might have side issues.

[@whalefilmzthewhale2574]

Rockets were a pretty common ordinance on late war aircraft. A lot of American fighter aircraft basically had bazooka rocket racks mounted on the wings. P-47 thunderbolt was one of the major ones that did this.

[@Yacbros.productions]

You know what the air designer means? Unlimited airplanes!!!

[@rm2569]

Rockets were one of the primary Air to ground weapons used in ww2. American, british, german, soviet planes all used them. The Typhoon, britain's CAS 2 famously made extensive use of them.

I'd love a more in-depth guide to how Ethiopia's diplomatic Africa take-over paths work, cause while they all function pretty much the same, they each have their own little nuances that I would love to hear more about.

[@ndbaker74]

Not sure if you mention this in one of the later bba videos, but I think the changes to how world tension generates is huge. One no longer takes a huge hit when generating a war goal. Whatever amount the war goal causes is given gradually over time rather then at one hit. This changes the early game quite a bit.

The Brits in WO2 made the spitfire more agile by clipping the wings. So historically it should be possible to add agility to an aircraft.

[@Zorro9129]

So you're saying if I clip my bird's wings, it'll be more agile?

[@youtubemodsaresnowflakelef7692]

Interesting to see rocket engines but not rocket thrusters. Germany used those on the Gigant (the Me 323, I believe) which was both a glider and later on an airplane as well, but even the airplane needed towing assistance for take off.. ie for the glider they had to use THREE BF 110s or HE 111 (medium bombers) in formation to get it airborne, and they used the rocket pods on the wings of BOTH the glider and the airplane to get extra thrust for take off, then jetison them once they had run out of fuel.

[@aquaramses8776]

"turning circle"? You meant turn rate? Its measured in degrees per second, or per minute. For example, the F-35 can turn in 8.5 seconds. 360/8.5 = 42 degrees per second. 42x60 = 2520 degrees per minute, or 7 full circles per minute. Possibly you also meant turning radius, which is how big the circle a plane makes when it turns is.

I love that the stats are changed based on the mission the plane is set on rather than the just the module it has on, after all it makes no sense to carry bombs if you are going on an intercept mission and paradox has taken this into account.

Yes! I was messing around with it and realized this too. I could make a fighter / torpedo bomber that won't take a stat hit on intercept or superiority missions cause they wouldn't bring a torpedo for those lol

[@t2force212]

I've had a look at the new small airframe CAS weapons. First of all, all small airframe CAS weapons can carry out Close Air Support and Logistic Strike missions. However there are additional missions that can only be done with certain modules and these will be mentioned with their perspective module. Bomb Locks are great to slap on a fighter if you have the spare space to give it CAS capability as it's penalties are only applied if sent on ground attack missions. Bomb Locks also give the plane Naval Strike mission with a naval targeting of 6 and a naval attack of 2. Bomb Locks have a Ground Attack to Cost ratio of 6:1, a Ground Attack to Weight ratio of 3:2 (6:0 if not on ground attack missions) and a Ground Attack to Agility ratio of 2:5 (6:0 if not on ground attack missions). Small Bomb Bay is more expensive than Bomb Locks (4 vs 1) and have a higher agility penalty (-20 vs -15) but comes with 2 extra ground attack (8 vs 6). These penalties are also permanent so they are always in effect regardless of what mission the plane is sent on. Because of this Small Bomb Bay should only be used on pure CAS, not multi-roles. Small Bomb Bays also provide the Port Strike mission (however not the Naval Strike mission) with a naval targeting of 4 and a naval attack of 2. Small Bomb Bay has a Ground Attack to Cost ratio of 2:1, a Ground Attack to Weight ratio of 2:1 and a Ground Attack to Agility ratio of 2:5. Rocket Rails are a weaker (4 vs 6) alternative to bomb locks that do NOT reduce agility and don't increase weight as much (1 vs 4) as bombs do when on ground attack so they are good to slap on fighter planes to give them close air support capability (or on CAS if your planes keep getting shot down). Rocket Rails do not have any additional strike missions. Rocket Rails have a Ground Attack to Cost ratio of 4:1, a Ground Attack to Weight ratio of 4:1 (4:0 if not on ground attack missions) and a Ground Attack to Agility ratio of 4:0 (this is the only module with no agility penalty). Anti-Tank Cannon I is like the small bomb bay in that it is intended to only be used by pure CAS as it's penalties are also permanent. Compared to the small bomb bay it has higher production cost, double the weight (8 vs 4) and the same ground attack but it has a smaller agility penalty (-15 vs -20) giving it slightly higher survivability than the Small Bomb Bay. Like the Rocket Rails the Anti-Tank Cannon I has no extra production cost. Anti-Tank Cannon I has a Ground Attack to Cost ratio of 8:5, a Ground Attack to Weight ratio of 1:1 (worst Ground Attack to Weight ratio of all modules) and a Ground Attack to Agility ratio of 8:15. Anti-Tank Cannon II is a boosted version of the previous Anti-Tank Cannon. It is the most expensive (8 vs 5), the heaviest (12 vs 8) and has the same agility penalty of the Small Bomb Bay (-20). The reward for all of this is that it has almost double the ground attack (15 vs 8) making Anti-Tank Cannon II the most powerful of all small CAS weapons. Just like the first version the Anti-Tank Cannon II does not have any additional strike missions. Anti-Tank Cannon II has a Ground Attack to Cost ratio of 15:8 (about the same as the Anti-Tank Cannon I), a Ground Attack to Weight ratio of 5:4, and a Ground Attack to Agility ratio of 3:4 (second best of all modules). TLDR; Bomb Locks = Multi-Role, has Naval Strike, cheap. Small Bomb Bay (SBB) = Pure CAS, has Port Strike. Rocket Rails = Multi-Role, highest survivability, cheap. Anti-Tank Cannon I = Pure CAS, higher survivability than SBB, heavy, expensive. Anti-Tank Cannon II = Pure CAS, most powerful, heaviest, most expensive.
