  Guided missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most famous of these are the V1 and V2, both of which used a simple mechanical autopilot to keep the missile flying along a pre-chosen route.
After the boost-stage ballistic missiles follow a trajectory mainly determined by ballistics, the guidance is for relatively small deviations from that.
Another major German missile development project was the anti-shipping class (such as the Fritz X and Henschel Hs 293), intended to stop any attempt at a cross-channel invasion.

 V-1 flying bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The missile was a relatively simple device with a fuselage constructed mainly of sheet metal and plywood, and could be assembled in around 50 man-hours.
As the missile flew, the airflow turned the propeller and hence the threaded shaft; the washer would be wound along the shaft as it turned.
Barrage balloons were also deployed against the missiles but the leading edges of the V-1's wings were equipped with balloon cable cutters and fewer than 300 V-1s are known to have been destroyed by hitting cables.

 German missiles that crashed in Sweden 1943-1944
These missiles were captured by the Swedish army and was subject to careful technical examination, which eventually was to become the foundation of the Swedish missile program at SAAB and other Swedish vendors.
Heinrich Himmler had renamed the unmanned glider missile Fi 103 to V1 (Vergeltungswaffe 1, Vengeance Weapon 1), and the rocket missile which actually went by the name A4 was similarly renamed V2.
Because of this, Swedish intelligence thought V2 was an improvement over V1, thus a glider aircraft, and as a consequence thereof they believed the rocket that had crashed in Bäckebo to be some kind of totally different weapon.

 V1 Flying Bomb : V-1
When the V1 raids began, the only effective defence was interception by a handful of very high performance fighter aircraft, in particular the Hawker Tempest.
Even when caught, the V1 was difficult to bring down: machine gun bullets had little effect on the sheet steel structure and 20mm cannon shells had a shorter range, which meant that setting the warhead off could all too easily destroy the fighter aircraft as well.
In daylight, V1 chases were chaotic and often unsuccessful until a special defence zone between London and the coast was declared in which only the fastest fighters were permitted.

 V1 Rocket Propaganda Leaflets
Greg Goebel discusses the various forms of the V1 in an article entitled "The V1 Flying Bomb." He says, "Some of the V-1s were fitted with a radio transmitter and a trailing antenna wire so that their flight could be monitored.
The V1 leaflets are mentioned in a number of The Falling Leaf issues, the journal of the Psywar Society, an international association of psychological warfare historians.
The leaflet was carried by a V1 against Allied troops in the Antwerp, Belgium area on 10 March 1945.

 Remote Piloted Aerial Vehicles : The 'Aerial Target' and 'Aerial Torpedo' in Germany
Research and development of the missile was initiated in June 1942 by the Luftwaffe, which viewed the cruise missile as a pilot-less plane, at the Research Station in Peenemünde.
The missile could reach an altitude between 3,500 to 4,000 feet, and this made it especially difficult for British anti-aircraft defence since it was too low for the heavy guns and too high for light ones to engage effectively.
The German V1 flying bomb, or 'buzz' bomb, known originally as the Fieseler Fi 103, FZG 76, was the first of the Vergeltungswaffen ("weapons of vengeance," named in response to Allied air assaults on Germany during World War II).

Missile performance (range) doesn't match the specs in the manual.
Use the radar mode 4 (zemlya) to find the target, then turn the radar OFF and move the round circle with the dot on it, which represents your missile seeker's line- of-sight, to the target either by maneuvering the aircraft or with the direction keys.
Until it is that close (you have to guesstimate this yourself) it requires guidance from your radar i.e.

These missiles are not intended as much to slow them down to destroy the ship as to delay them enough for you to catch up.
These missiles cannot be accessed using the 'q' key, but now, you can use the right mouse button to let loose a continuous stream.
The energy it takes to regenerate missiles is pretty high, so it's better to stick with the weaker rockets and be able to fire larger volleys.

 Argus V1 Pulsejet
Perhaps the most famous, or should that be infamous, pulsejet engine of all time is the huge unit designed by Schmidt and built by Argus in Germany for their V1 flying bomb.
The fuel supply was pressurized by the same tank of compressed air that was also used to drive the gyros and operate the control surfaces of the V1 airframe.
The body of the engine was built from rolled and welded mild steel plate which, given that it only had to last 35 minutes or so, was more than adequate for the job.

 Rapid Fire Missile Launcher - Great for Wood Wars - Facepunch Studios
Just a bunch of missiles sticking out from a wheel attached by breakable objects, which once broken detaches the missiles and allows them to start flying.
The missiles are reasonably accurate, it's only that they curve off when they hit the ground (I didn't set it to aim into the air when I was building it like I should have but oh well).
The barrel is made out of planks (ice on ice is critical to prevent explosions), which contract to the exact width of the missiles so they fly out in line with the barrel, going where you want them to.

The V1 missile, once launched, flew without a pilot until it ran out of fuel and came crashing down, blowing up.
If the Germans were allowed to develop their missiles and rockets, then huge destruction could have been caused to British cities.
They were less accurate than V1 missiles, but since they travelled at the speed of sound, and so made no warning noise before impact, it was almost impossible to defend against them.

Binary distributions are now linked against libSDL-1.2.so.x so if you have SDL v1.0.x installed, you will have to upgrade to v1.2.4 (there are no problems compiling from source code though) Ditched having the config file in /etc, that was a bad idea.
v0.99.7 I'm happy with missile frequency, number, and speed, so unless something major is uncovered, this should be the last release before v1.0.0 Available as binary tar.gz and rpm downloads.
(Run "gdb missile core" to see where it segfaults) Somehow I'm occasionally creating a missile way out of bounds (by stomping on memory somewhere perhaps?) Maybe for v1.0.0 or at least early v1.x Sound.
