What's the best way to use V weapons? Should they be grouped together or strike individually? I've been using them for strategic and runway cratering missions, but is there a better use for them?

They are mostly useless. But if you really want to use them, put some of them strike to infrastructure and others to strategic attack.
Singly. They each have an attack strength equal to an entire 4-squadron wing of late-war STRAT Bombers.
I'm trying to use V-1 as US but cannot find a way to deploy them outside continental US 
Unable to "rebase" and Strategic Redeployment won't work except to airbase within Continental US.
HELP?

As the US V1's are useless unless the US is invaded. You can not deploy them outside the US. You need ICBM's to get any use out of rockets.Praesidium said:I'm trying to use V-1 as US but cannot find a way to deploy them outside continental US

I use the V2 rockets against russia...
when I notice a province with 40 divisions in it, I destroy infrastructure...
the units move slower and are unable to supply properly... this weakens them
It sucks when you get the province yourself though, you loose organization as well
But still, a very nice way of hampering your enemy...
Or I cripple the infrastructure and industry in their capital city
Either way, you can make a lot of damage (with cheap units) without risking your expensive Strategic bombers.... So build a lot of V2 and release hell upon the enemy (SSSR with its 300+ divisions is a tough nut to crack, but once you destroy their fronline infrastructure, it is easier)

I'm not sure about this, but I think you can rebase rockets when attached to a plane.
Once you get a balistic missile available, then you can bomb the hell outta your enemies...
I am building rockets like mad now and will unleash hell upon my enemies muahahaha

You can re-deploy them to ANY airbase that YOU control whether in the Continental US or not. You can NOT rebase them to your allies or puppets (keeps the Cuban Missile Crisis from happening...)Micah Goodman 2 said:
I would not say they are totally useless, they are quite handy in knocking out airfields in England pre invasion, freeing up your Tacs for other duties, although they do have a habbit of not going where you tell them sometimes which can be quite annoying
V rockets not useless
I do not agree v rockets are useless, for e.g. if you go down the history route and attack Ussr, leaving britain alone you can constantly hamstring GB's IC WITHOUT any loss to any air units, this means I think that your subs have an ally in keeping GB from buildig up defensive forces, I do not think any AA or fighters are any use against V2 - I could be wrong about how much IC it takes to build a V2 but as each strike seems to result in a 5 point IC loss it seems a decent longterm interdiction policy until you can turn around and focus on a particular country,
in reality I think most analysts would say they were a waste of time as compared to a bombload of a latter strag. bomber they were puny but again both the 8th usa bomber army and bomber harris lost large numbers to the latter completely integrated nazi air defence, but again people argue this suck in large numbers of fighters and resources away from the eastern front
