Rocket pods on planes

[Cheegy 3]

Dear the good people of war thunder forums admins etc. I like the Recent adding of Italian planes but I have one flaw for the devs. Rocket pods, Rocket pods are a effective and efficient way to launch rockets from a plane, you added rocket pods to the G91 Fiat but not the other planes like the A-1 Skyraider (aka ad-2).  AD-2 Rocket pods: The LAU-59 rocket pod held seven 2.75" FFARs. LAU means Launcher Aircraft Unit. FFAR means Folding Fin Aircraft Rocket. The rockets could have different types of warheads. HE (high explosive) rockets were used against targets made of wood or truck type steel. HEAT (high explosive anti-tank) heads had a shape charge and were used against armored vehicles. WP (white phosphorus) heads were used to either mark a target with smoke or as an incendiary weapon. The LAU-59 pod was reusable and was returned with the aircraft for reloading. The LAU-68 was a newer version of this pod. The LAU-3 was a 19 tube rocket launcher carried on most loads including the Sandy load.

Now i know I kinda got sidetracked on the a-1 sorry. Also you can add rocket pods to the MIG 17 and 15 and the hunter f.1. And also you could add napalm to war thunder and yes you would be thinking it would be useless but really it wouldnt because its a fiery 500kg bomb, it could take out AAA positions and pillboxes. And Matchmaking could be tweaked a little bit more. Then you could add Vietnam era jets and planes and have their own gamemode where you can only use the selected era say pacific campaign you would hit go to battle the it would bring a menu up saying "select and era" and you click pacific campaign or Vietnam you would click veitnam. And add Veitnam era planes to Russia and American. (why i said Russia for the VNPA is because the VNPA was supplied by Russia they supplied jets ammo and tanks to Vietnam). And add new maps like the hoa chi minh trail and hamburger hill of coarse. This maybe and aimless post about rocket pods and nam era why i wrote it is because i wanna see rocket pods on the a-1 skyraider in the future. And i would think a Swedish tech tree would be cool too because the swedish had very interesting tanks like the strv 81 and the flying barrel.

I would suggest only suggesting one thing at once. Your post kind of branched out at the end. Also, the suggestions area of the forum would probably be a better place for this. I agree that if one nation gets rocket pods all nations that have them should. But until Germany has an aircraft that can carry rocket pods I would expect a huge uproar.

I think this is a pretty good idea. I'd enjoy seeing more rocket pods being added to the game.

Having rocket pods would be nice. I think it would be a great for ground forces and many people who do ground forces may support your idea. But wrong section mate. Post this in Suggestions section of the forum.

ehm
many US planes do have these rockets, they are the 114mm M8 rockets.
and yes, last time I checked the P-47 had them.


for the thread itself, I have some documents on the american rocket launchers (2.75 and 5 inch) and the rockets.
just need to find them and link them here.
