Ok, why dont rockets hit the B-17? Ive tried all types. I even jumped in a Me-262 and flew directly behind the B-17G and shot at it with my 24 rockets and not a one hit the B-17!!!! Whats up with this? They explode just fine if they hit the ground.....

For what it's worth, I can remember this question cropping up before. It seems the rockets are designed for ground attack, and not for proper collision detection.

Should be easy enough to test. Try dropping a bomb onto another plane ( the Germans did!!!!) and see if you can hit a B17 that way. My guess is they won't go bang!

This is something that needs fixing! Time delay rockets were something I wanted to build for formation busting!

My idea was to have a rocket, with an attached object. This object would have a fire start on release, with enough obHits to go boom after a set time. Explosion would be big enough to simulate air-burst of a rocket warhead. Never got it work though!

Already figured out the time delay part. I lowered the obHits on the Jagdfaust rockets and they blow up in the air after so many seconds. This can be fined tuned aswell.
