Not sure if this is a bug but I have just lost 3 light tanks whilst attacking a city where the rocket battery is still on the ground. How is that possible when they have no defensive capabilities?
Rocket battery destroys tanks!!

Excellent question. That should not happen.
Please check the in-game newspaper for details of the battle and see if you can glean any additional information to help us figure out what happened.
Also, are you sure you were not hit by one or more enemy rockets from other locations? -
You should tell your tank operators to not run over the rockets.

@Njx: I am sure DxC knows this already, but the quickest, most efficient ways to kill enemy rockets are by (a) striking them with 5-squadron stacks of your own high-level interceptors (fighters) or (b) using your own rockets in a counter-strike. Rockets are members of the "aircraft" armor class, and like all aircraft, unprotected rockets are most vulnerable to attack by fighters. My answer may change if the rocket(s) are supported by enemy anti-aircraft units or enemy fighter cover. -
guys may not recall, but about 6 months ago more or less I reported that i captured a prov right after it had fired a rocket. when i capped the prov, the rocket CAME BACK to the province and turned into a convoy truck, which of course i destroyed. We all agreed it was because rockets were being coded like aircraft. I believe this is a similar glitch.
Also discussed in the past was the point that aircraft on the ground, but not refueling, would defend just as if they were in the air (still peeved about that one, but that is the way it is). So, obviously, the rockets being treated as if they were aircraft got in their defensive strike, just as if they were interceptors or whatever.
Also, I had this exact type of thing happen too, and I didnt bother reporting it, because I know they are not going to reprogram or change anything like this because they didnt the first time.“I am the flail of god. Had you not created great sins, god would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”

They probably retain their air unit stats when in ground melee like planes.

@DxC: It's been a while since I have caught both enemy ground and enemy aircraft units at same location at the same time. As I recall, however, the enemy aircraft units were not converted into a defenseless aircraft ground convoy until the defending enemy ground units were destroyed. If memory serves, I believe I have witnessed enemy aircraft units fly away and escape in that scenario. Analogously, I would expect rockets could still attack in the same scenario.
In any case, a single rocket strike should not kill three light tank units (60 hit points). Rockets are just not that efficient against ground units. I find it often takes two rockets to kill a single stand-alone infantry regiment. They do seem to be more efficient against large ground unit stacks than singles. -
im saying that its hard to reason out because there are glitches in the game that defy reason. it may not matter if the rocket is supposed to have a defensive value or not. rockets arent supposed to even re-target once fired, much less return to the prov they were fired from after the prov was captured. but it happened.“I am the flail of god. Had you not created great sins, god would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”

and i have had the same thing happen as the op. i got all excited attacking a prov while catching enemy rockets on the ground undefended. the rockets took me out. they should have turned into convoy trucks, but they didnt“I am the flail of god.

While it's true, we mere mortals can't explain everything, our first reaction shouldn't necessarily be "it's inexplicable".

it can be explained. there is an error in the code for rockets.“I am the flail of god. Had you not created great sins, god would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”

When the fake daddies are curtailed, we have failed. When their roller coaster tolerance is obliterated, their education funds are taken by Kazakhstani phishers, and their candy bars distributed between the Botswana youth gangs, we have succeeded.

Roko, although probably not the case, is is possible, in your example, that the AB was damaged past 50%?

Nope, the base was still operational.When the fake daddies are curtailed, we have failed. When their roller coaster tolerance is obliterated, their education funds are taken by Kazakhstani phishers, and their candy bars distributed between the Botswana youth gangs, we have succeeded.

Maybe they remain as planes until they feel some damage, then they are like, holy cow that hurt, I think I'll turn into a convoy. Random improbable hypothesis ...
