It will explode at the point were the army originally was when the missile was fired. That usually means it will miss, unless it was fired from VERY close (there is a "closeby hit" system of a few pixels) or if the target turned around or something like that.

Flying bombs are a top contender for the most useless unit. Even if fired at a stack of troops, the AA value is often enough to shoot down the flying bomb before it does any damage.

It is meant to be used against buildings and morale.

... and transport vessels while em- and debarking I heard.

they should seriously buff flying bombs and rockets

You can always play one of those scenarios where everyone has nukes, if that's what you're looking for.

Rockets did not have a major impact in WW2 and they shouldn't be any more capable.

What the devs need to do is make them harder to build or tell noobs not to mess with rockets until late in the game. Right now they are too tempting, fooling noobs and AI into wasting resources.

The best way to use rockets 99% of the time is to stay away from the whole tree.

The real problem with Flying Bombs and Rockets in the game is NOT the weapons but peoples expectations of them. People expect them to act like Modern Cruise Missiles and GPS Guided Missiles instead of World War II weapons. Do not forget this is the era that these weapons first were under development. There were even experiments using pigeons to target these weapons, codenamed Project Pigeon of all things. If you expect them to act like they are targeted by a pigeon (or any other bird brain) you wont be disappointed by their accuracy or lack thereof.

Stop repeating other people's comments.
It's obnoxious.

This ChatGPT thing is infiltrating everything...)))
