The most frustrating of the 50's 3 main weapons to use. The bombs I think are even worse, but are so rarely used I don't call them "main."

Great article EinsteinEP! I've always loved the rockets. Nothing is more satisfying than taking out a tank with a rocket or two, or ten! They require patience and skill!

Here is a quick video I made of a rocket attack.

A very informational read Eric! I learned a thing or two regarding rockets from your article. Going to go now and practice, practice, practice!! Looking forward to your next article. Anything on how to actually use those bombs would be appreciated.

You mean dropping bombs from a KA-50? hehehe. That would be interesting. Never thought about or tried that before.

That's one of the best and most informative series published here for a long time.
Very good job, Einstein ! I am really looking forward to the next article.
Made me fly the KA 50 again and practice in earnest.

You forgot the "treeline method" where one side slips and fires more or less randomly into the length of a treeline.

At least that's what I call it when I fire them accidentally.

Great article!

That is a fantastic article! I really love reading these Einstien, and I am going to have to go back and consolidate all your articles into a single document. Despite that I already know how to use the system you are writing about, I love to learn the in-depth information, science and history behind it all. It really adds alot to my experience with Black Shark and I still love flying that sim ALOT, which is mostly due to articles like these.
