no, didn't bother since i didn't care for planes at that time, but now that i"'m actually trying to complete the challenge i kinda need it, i have the G91 but i'm way too inexperienced to use it for now, same for the french tiger

Hellcat (F6F) - has both HVARs and Tiny Tims. One in US and French tree and they're decently low BR so the tank armor isn't as big of an obstacle.

The later 109s and FW190A-5 and after also have the large anti-bomber rockets which work for anti-tank purposes.

The 109s and 190s that I added to my other comment I would note, but other than that you have the F4U-7 in the French tree has something like 114 rockets (if you have it unlocked), and then the tech tree or premium French AD-4s also carry a decent rocket loadout.

I don't really have any USSR aircraft I use for rockets, though the IL-28s will have larger rockets to use, but at those BRs you have radar SPAA to worry about too.

cool thanks, one last question, do i need to land direct hits with HVARs on Medium and light tanks? Or is there enough explosive that landing them close enough will overpressure

Maybe against open stuff, but enclosed vehicles you probably need direct or very close hits.

I mostly played naval for that one, because naval targets are big and soft. But light tanks and TDs make good rocket targets too of course.

Yeah the Tiny Tims were a good suggestion. You don't need to be as accurate as with HVARs. Just be careful to pull away as soon as you fire one; they have a large explosion radius for rockets.

Then you'll have a literal blast with them lol they are my fav dumbfire rocket.

Tiny Tims are amazing everything rockets.

Bonus when you learn how to snipe with them or teach the enemy why Spacing is a fundamental in combat.

I've really only hull broken with near misses on open-topped vehicles and trucks. Mediums and even heavies like Tigers I can kill with an HVAR hitting the top of them but yes it has to be direct in my experience. Now that HVARs fire separately it gives you a lot more passes to get the angle/trajectory dialed in.

French M.B.175T, it carries 12 HVAR rockets.
