Use of Unguided Rockets: Manual Mode

Use of Unguided Rockets

4. Manual Mode

The manual mode is only interesting if CCIP is not available (e.g. due to damage).

In manual mode the crosshairs are fixed and are not calculated. This corresponds to the reflex sights as they were used in World War II (see Bf 109). The pilot then has to aim by himself and take into account the variable parameters like speed, angle of attack, altitude etc. This requires extensive experience and practice.

With the UFC you can adjust the vertical position of the crosshairs in mils from 0 to 270. The following adjustments may help:

Gun -
- 12 mils - In Reference
Rockets -
- 30 mils - In Reference
- 50 mils - In Video
Bombs -
- 140 mils - In Reference
- 80 mils - In Video

The description of the necessary steps is exactly the same as for the Use of the Cannon - Manual Mode.
