How to launch rockets?

[jarmenia]

I cannot figure out how to launch rockets from NW France into England. I've built the sites, have level 2 rockets, have a mission assigned, but they don't seem to be doing anything. Any ideas?

Your operational range is 545 and the range from France to England is 701?

From your own screenshot the operational range is 545 km while southern England is at 701 km.

The small plane encircled in red indicate there is a problem with range. Which is somewhat odd.

Did you try to make 2 separate wings ? Because your 24 V2 should have the range.


EDIT: Also it could be the wing size and the choice of mission : http://www.hoi4wiki.com/Rocket

I've identified a few issues with rockets.

• If I build a v1 rocket site out of range of any enemy airspace, it will continue to build rockets and fill up the inventory with no way for me to get rid or upgrade them. I can hit the trash can and that will send them back to the reserve list but then they get reassigned right back.
  • My suggestion for this is to either make the trashcan destroy the rockets, or only have sites pull rockets from reserves if they can be used.
• The hashing color on the wing is yellow. For normal air wings, this indicate that some of the air zone can be reached but for rockets it means they won't fire.
• If a rocket site has rockets that can be fired, but fires them all, it looses the mission which means I have to constantly check the rocket sites to make sure they haven't lost their mission. The mission should be remembered so when it produces more rockets they get the mission back.

Did you read the wiki section I linked ? There seems to be a mission for continuous bombardment and one for blitz launching all of them.

Note: If setup this way the rocket "wing" will use the standard wing setting 'No retreat' which will launch as fast as possible in a quick burst until it run out of missiles, this will remove the empty wing from the Air Region. Production is slower than launching. If you instead want a more stable sustained bombardment you can change the wing setting to 'Normal operations' which will only launch missiles if the wing size is at least 25%. The lvl 1 site can hold 100 rockets, meaning when over 25 it will fire a rocket.

Yes I did but it doesn't make sense to me that it looses the mission when is out of rockets.

Yes, you can't create new wings with rockets.

Agreed. If this is the case, it should be changed or at least they should ask you if you want to continue.

Or just turn off the mission when number of rockets in wing is 1 or something.

I think the yellow hash means they can't reach 100% within the assigned region, or before they've been assigned, within the region the site is located.
