Bomb, not missile. It was the frits x (i think the only ship sunk by one). Its a 1400kg armour piercing bomb that can penatrate most ships from 5km up.
There is photo footage from the Do 217 weapons officer where you can see it closing in towards the Roma. Looks like a missile. Seems to slam into her side near B turret. A bomb falls down from above. But dunno how its officially classified.
how comes the Roma has no radar?
early on it penetrated ships and went through the bottom so they redesigned the tail
been having that trouble in sim lol, was wondering why i wasnt killing the cruisers. Turns out the damage was it blowing up bellow the ship after going right though it.
Apparently, they decided the late refit doesnt count, no clue why. Probably going to give it to the littorio or something… for an 8.3 battleship it should have its radar. Just stupid.
Its dropped from 5km (roughly, could have been higher), By that time any bomb is going to be going side on quite a bit, especially if its being guided in like the frits x. The glowing bit at the back is a tracer, it was so the crew could guide it in as the minimum drop alt was 5km so it would have made it quite hard to guide.
As its not Moving under propulsion but gravity it would be considered a guided bomb. If it had a rocket motor it would be a missile. Although missiles with ram jets like on the meteor are also considered missiles.
