Wunderwaffe

[Nostromo84]

Has there been any mention of how wunderwaffe (miracle weapons), especially V1 and V2 weapons are going to be represented in the game?

I´ve seen them in the tech trees, but how will you deploy and use them??

The only thing I've heard about nukes are that u can load them in Planes and Rockets. I don t know how to deploy them though

Edit: It was mentioned in World War Wednesday

Yeah i remember Johan mentioned nukes on rockets.

But what about conventional V2 rockets? will they be available?

V2s are definitely in, there's no way you are loading a WW2 era nuke on anything smaller, and even that is a stretch.

I'm guessing the same wunderwaffens that appeared in hoi3 will be in hoi4.

Personally I would love to see V3 cannons, or sturmtigers

I wonder if air superiority will increase the number of V1's shot down (V2's can't be shot down). It would also make sense for a requirement to build specialist troops to operate V1 rockets.
Some sort of rocket infrastructure to launch rockets from would also be needed to avoid situations where players could just shoot rockets from anywhere.

I really hope players can develop Wasserfall, Germany's ground to air missiles.

All i know is how it was in Darkest Hour: you build a strategic bomber and attach a nuke to it as you would attach a division, and then you can go for a nuclear bombing raid

I'll be building H-44, V3 with propulsion

We don't know much about rockets. I think the game will only have one type of rocket. The technologies increase the damage the rocket do, there is probably no way to defend against rocket attack but destroying the launch ramps. Rockets are thus expensive strategic bombers but they do not need air superiority so the make more sense for nations in a bad situation then for nations in a good situation.

You must research first rocket technology to be able to research the jet engine (Jet aircrafts can be considered wunderwaffe as they need alot of research and can only be gotten at the end of the game).

Then there is of course the nuke

I don't think nuclear weapons on rockets should be in the game. In reality we didn't have those until the fifties.

Well HOI4 is taking a more sandbox approach. So nukes on rockets would be very late gmae like 1947 and 1948.
