Please never again put this task ever to the BP or any sort of event. It is tiresome, makes people play out of objective and feels random too.
Yours faithful player.

I had also resigned from this task. But it turned out to be the last task of the entire pass, getting it would give me a fourth talisman and the next pass for free. That just isn’t fair.
So I tried and I did them basically in one afternoon. Light rockets with the RM4 on Me262, heavy ones had already happened in tank AB. And for medium ones I used the AD-4 if I am not mistaken, killing airfield cappers.
Can’t say I enjoyed it. But in all fairness, it was an easy pass. This being the only more difficult job in it. We had worse, iirc.

Did them in Air with the Me262. Hitting something with those missiles feels like pure luck though. And there’s too few planes even carrying such small rockets.

What I don’t like is that I cannot do it in Ground Arcade as there are never any planes assigned there with such small missiles.

I have the exact same issue and posted this question on another related post. As of yet, no answer to my question as to which aircraft at level III in GAB can carry light rockets. I’m not an aircraft guy and the in-house wiki is useless to research this.
Honestly the 5kg cutoff seems almost specifically designed to fuck over Snebs. They weigh 5.05kg each.

In fact,this task is not the first time in a BP
xD
Doesn’t some of the helicopters in ground arcade have the smaller rockets?
they may have s5k,but s5k only have a poor damage and s5k helicopters do not have a rocket CCIP

Su 25 equippped with 256 pieces of s5k.
Got low damage, but you get ballistic and quantity over quality got me those small rockets.
True, but they exist and if the enemy has spawned an open topped vehicle / SPAA / Light tank you have a chance to get them with a full burst using the “Fire rocket salvo” key bind.
So while it might be a bit tedious it’s still doable :)
I keep rockets in (S) so it fires contious as button is pressed.
Salvos are also nice, especially if you got plenty of rockets, but there is a change you shoot 16 salvo, kill with first 6, and you lose 10 for nothing…
s5k have no chance to kill a SPAA,and helis are too easy to be killed at that br,so that chance is too low and i think only have little chance to do is also a kind of undoable
I’m AB main in ground battle,s5k is slow and hard to aim,also it always carried by a mi-8,which also has a bad flight performance
I personally found that option better as the chance of getting one kill increased even if the chances of more kills decreased. I personally prefer a slightly safer but slower approach to advancing tasks.
There is a saying in Sweden that roughly translates to “The one who opens to wide (to eat) often looses all their food” (sort of, it’s an old saying and very roughly translated). It means that if you try to get too many good things all at once you often risk getting nothing at all. I think the English version is “Grasp all, lose all” or something like that?
How? I’ve personally destroyed MBT’s with them while doing that task.
well,in GAB SPAA just look around and then lock you,they can get a aim assist,SPAAs around that br a rarely open topped(hate from M163 :),and they have enough range ,firepower to kill a heli
By the way, mi-8 with s5ks isn’t the only vehicle you can get by call a rocket helicopter,so if you want to get a kill in that way you need to be very,very lucky imo
Yeah, we Finns got “Greedy has shitty ending”. Similiar saying.
But also on that full auto mode, you can place quick aiming salvo, and then ripple em away like no yesterday. Especially on those s5k’s, since they are really low damage.
Especially if you shoot em before ccip for rockets is showing landing spot.
I used the Buccaneer as CAS in GRB for the less than 5kg mission. It was painful, and took a while to find anything thin skinned enough to die to those puny rockets, but it was the most efficient method I found.
