(i have a short list, if you're interestered...)

Wench, would this short list happen to be the combined World War II navies of all the allied and axis powers? 

I think I may have found the issue. You have the "MinPitch=" and "MaxPitch=" set to the same value in order to fix the missile's angle in the launcher. That works under the [WeaponSystem] entry. However when you are using the SystemType=GUNNER for missiles, even ground attack missiles, you need to set MinPitch=0 so that the gunner can see targets at sea level.

@GKABS I did not realize that you were so frustrated by the issue. I will bump looking over that ship and missile up my priority list.

My second dose of the Moderna vaccine is coming up on the 4th of May.

Here is an update.

If you want I can send you some of my fathers Vietnam photos from when he was there in 1966-67.

Just got my first shot this past Tuesday. Next one is in a month as well.

Just heard the news and thought I would share.

@macelena & @Wrench Here are the aircraft I was playing with to make use Air to Air rockets. F4D-1, F-86D, F-89D, and F-102A. These are more experimental than complete and I did not fly a test run before compiling them so they are as is. 

KJakker's Air to Air Rockets Mods.7z 

I have found my modified F-102 with A2A rockets. I am giving it a touch up and then I will share it.

An interesting What-If. Would be fun to be able to fly it in a sim. Too bad Fairchild disposed of most of Republics records as wind tunnel test would be nice to have.

Okay, thanks. I have never seen that pylon before and I never knew they got that far with development. It seems the Skybolt had two different RV/nose cones which is why I did not recognize it.
