Description
Although the engine sounds terrifying, its the silence afterwards when it becomes really scary

The V1 is a guided flying bomb used by the Germans in WW2. this upload is a V1 missile with a launchrail.
The flying bomb can be flown with controllable pitch and roll. The warhead consists of 36 small grenades and 2 bombs. the small grenades will spread out before detonating shortly after, thus increasing the explosive range. this weapon is excellent against all destructable buildings and some machines. especially with a direct hit on a machine, the explosion is so intense, that the destroyed machine cannot be recognized after.
Blockcount: 251, of which 180 blocks are the V1.

About the V1
The Vergeltungswaffe 1 is in essence a bomb that could fly, unmanned, a long distance before detonating. The Germans developed and build these machines in order to bomb large places like London (and later in the war also cities in Belgium). The bomb would continue to fly as long as adjusted before launch. After that, the engine shuts off and 850 kg of explosives would detonate on impact.
However, the guidance of the bomb was very primitive. pretty much good enough to hit very large targets. because of the simpel way of flying they were easy to counter. of the ca 12000 V1s build, approximately 25% did hit the target.

Need a cool, destructable map to blast this bomb into? try this one: Petrusborough

make sure to rate this upload and if you want more interesting builds, check out my workshop!

*the camera is attached to a rocket, as the rocket explodes with the bomb itself, the camera will freeze in position. therefore, you do not get a camera flying skyhigh when the bomb exploded.

simple answer: yes, if you launch the moment the front rail of the bomb holder is slightly up in the air (so not resting on the rails) it will not get stuck.
not so simple answer: I have tried to minimize this as much as possible, it was much more before. the only way i can think of now is using contactless rails. these are very complex to work with and use the efffects of a low power negative vacuum.
