@K2K The US also used a rocket called the M8, which launched from tubes instead of individual racks like the HVAR. Aircraft would carry the tubes lashed together in a triple-launcher called the M-10. It wasn't as powerful as the HVAR, but it was certainly quite destructive and still much easier to use than regular bombs.
@MikoyanGorevich21 P-47 of the sea, the F6F Hellcat. Same engine, similar obsession with ruggedness.
@F104Deathtrap Looks like P47
@F104Deathtrap
I put this in the Cool/Funny GIFs in my bio
@KnightOfRen Hellcat
Dauntless?
@RogueFighter Good eye
Did nobody notice that it was heading for a bunch of other aircraft
Yikes

@F104Deathtrap ah....
SimplePlanes is so popular that people back in the 40s replicated the rocket in game! I am so happy and proud of this community.
@K2K The SP rocket is based off of the 5 inch High Velocity Aircraft Rocket (HVAR) used by US forces in WW2 and the Korean War.
Maybe this is just a teaser for a high quality aircraft carrier and tbf @K2K
@5Ewok yeah....
It does look like a SP rocket@K2K
Is that real rocket, looks sus... Like its from sp
Hmm, I wonder why the people are panicking...
Wheeeeeeeeee!
2020 election in a nutshell
@F104Deathtrap yeah thats probably true, but the pilots face as his rocket flies at his friends lol
@5Ewok I seriously doubt the pilot was blamed. The rocket clearly broke loose when the arresting gear shook the plane to a stop.
Imagine what happened to the poor pilot
Oh geez...
The Rocket also looks so excited to explode the crowd. :)
If that was in Russia they'll just go on with they're day and normal carrier operations.
