Tellu Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I just tested on hotseat mode effects of tech. I researched diffrent fields with diffrent countries. With Germans I maxed rockets and subs. So finally I got rocket tech 4 and had five(5!) rockets stationed in Netherlands to used agains Britain. Firing commenced. Units 1 strenght 12, 2 strenght 13 and 2 strenght 14 Target Londons harbour Results One(1) point of damage!! :eek: So this is not what they are good for... But is there something that they are good in? I fired on two earlier turns with 1 and 3 rockets. Both times I managed to do no damage to that harbour. And Britain had Radar tech at starting level(1).

Bromley Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 Well, I found that they were good at drawing the British air attacks away from more valuable (in strategic terms) units. They kept hitting the rockets, rather than transports full of German soldiers heading for Kent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3w53r Posted June 3, 2002 Share Posted June 3, 2002 I also played the same, (Although Italy conquered France for some reason) I got level-3 rockets positioned around malta, and lo and behold, the island capitulated after one or two turns of rocket barrages.

Rediroc Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 You guys are doing better than me, I cant even figure out how to fire rockets! Do you have to get better rocket tech to increase range first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rleete Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Rockets only have a range of 2 or 3. They have to be right on the coast, or one hex back to be able to fire. That also draws every British air fleet to attack them. They are magnets for Brit air power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rediroc Posted June 6, 2002 Share Posted June 6, 2002 Thanks for the info. I did notice they attract a lot of air power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more effective than if he bombed my port. The AI is such a gamey bastich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
