My last version of this (deleted since, also not the V-1, to clarify.) was plagued by many problems. With this version they are fixed. This one has amazing glide characteristics and is more accurate. Requires air start because it has no form of propellant. Recommended to target either of the carriers.

Fritz X was the most common name for a German guided anti-ship glide bomb used during World War II. Fritz X was the world's first precision guided weapon, and the first to sink a ship in combat. Fritz X was a nickname used both by Allied and Luftwaffe personnel. Alternate names include Ruhrstahl SD 1400 X, Kramer X-1, PC 1400X or FX 1400 (the latter is also the origin for the name "Fritz X"). Along with the USAAF's similar Azon weapon of the same period in World War II, it is one of the precursors of today's anti-ship missiles and precision-guided weapons.

    @IStoleYourMeme theyre guided but the fritz x isnt a gliding bomb. its a so called dive bomb and it falls like a normal bomb. a gliding bomb looks more like a engineless v1 missile.
