the Rain of Arrows BP challenge is one of the worst challenge for all of the BPs ,you need to use a rocket which mass(not explosive mass) is less than 5kg to kill 3 peoples,but i only find 2 rockets can do that.
First one is S-5K(Chinese 57-1 look like a C&P of it),which only have 150mm pen HEAT warhead,it may kill some tanks with poor armor or AAAs in GRB
Second one is German R4M on Me262A, which is a HE warhead rocket and have a time fuse, it may kill AAAs by overpressure when direct hit or set a explosive range and shoot some planes down,it has enough amount do to that.
So that’s all the available rockets i found, I think gaijin should change the mass from 5kg to 6~7kg and there will be more choose like SNEB rocket and many western planes can load it.Or make gaijin change the rocket mass to rocket explosive mass and rework the challenge.
Vote and reply to let gaijin heard us!
Change the mass limit from 5 to higher
Rework the challenge by change mass to explosive mass
its a funny one. I always did it with R4Ms on Shwalbe looking for machines like M163 or ZSU-57-2. I kinda think that this is what it should be in battle pass - funny easy tasks
Well, it should be funny easy tasks … but this is Gaijin creating BP challenge that only rank5+ vehicles from maybe half of the nations in game can do because the rest of nations simply don’t have any vehicle / weapon system that fit the parameters
It should be changed for the Rank V+ restriction alone. And not just that, it is also not available to people who don’t happen to have the planes/heli’s that can equip those rockets, limiting it even more.

it’s a Russian game and coincidentally Russian helicopters have rockets under 5Kg, specifically 3.6Kg S-5K rockets.
I also found an Italian event vehicle FIROS 6, he have rockets ARF/8M3 = 3.8kg
Does it work for this task? lirc there is “use an air vehicle” requirement. You can also find these rockets on AMX.
You can find multiple export Soviet vehicles and some other nations vehicles which use S-5K, like in the Italian TT there are IAR-93B, Hungarian D Hind and MiG-15bis, 21MF/bis, 23MF.
To bad the SNEB 37 mm Type 447 HE-FRAG rockets (iirc in game designation was just Type 37) were removed, iirc they were 3kg rockets & good for use against soft skins & other aircraft.
But the two SA 318 had these up to iirc 72 rockets in four pods
Tried Mi-24D first - unsuccessful, then switched to AMX, it’s way easier (second battles 2 targets destroyed), use KF41 or Freccia, jump into scout drone, farm 3 scouting and then rush to enemies like a berserk or just J-out to spawn AMX next.
Eventually It took me 5 battles to complete the task with small rockets using regular AMX, 3 battles for medium using Hungarian Mi-24V, heavy rockets took a bit more - 8 battles, with IAR-93B, although in 4 of them I had not enough SP to spawn with S-24B.
