Just saying: << Rockets >>

Are an ineffective weapon unless you have had hours of practice firing them.

Usualy takes "Two" hits to take down bomber in WB unlike real life. (unless they revisited the bomber strength settings and toned them (bombers) down to original) (Doubt that)

Getting two hits out of two launches have odds worse than winning the power ball lottery. ( 0 )

In an environment where they have almost a two vs one fighter superiority most of which pose a threat even when our fighters are light straight fighter air to air.

Your double dissadvantaged trying to get to altitude with essencialy a over load plane.

To make an effective rocket strike demands coming in "slowing down" leveling and stabalizing" To aim and fire the weapons. All absolute no no's in a high threat fighter environment.

But they look pretty streaking toward that formation. But then so does a 190 in a huge fire ball if your a P47 pilot.

Just saying.. :?

I have sortied with rockets probably somewhere near 10 times without any successes. I only saw one probable hit about two years back when Thor launched one into a bomber stream.

I don't know if it actually scares the Allies as much as we think it does.

I say no - theres no need to add weight and drag for such a specialized weapon.
