Grumman F6F-5N "Nightcat"
Naval Carrier Fighter, Radar-equipped
A radar and cannon-armed version of the U.S Navy's Hellcat fighter. Possesses increased firepower and is well capable of engaging in post-daylight combat operations. Can track targets up to 5 miles, but must be on the direct 6 o'clock of said target for effective tracking and shootdown.
Can be loaded with anti-ground ordnance for attacks during daylight operations as well.

Excellent work
@ShinyGemsBro I see, thank you
@F8boa I think the firing rails are angled down just right and the rocket's weight allows it to drop fast enough that they avoid the propeller entirely. Tiny Tim rockets are quite heavy.
.
It might also help that the pilot pulls up while pulling the trigger.
I know that the game doesn’t work like this but in real life how do the tiny Tim rockets not his the prop? Does it have a delayed launch?
