I thought about it, but these engines have bad fuel economy and the 103R without the 900kg warhead had a projected top speed of 750km/h +, so with another engine I think it would be fast enough for most allied fighters and hard enough for B-17 gunners to track.

The original model doesn't have 3d control surfaces modelled though., but that doesn't matter, still flies.

Instead I think a bomb would go nice under the mid wing section or a Wfrg.21.

Any suggestions for arament though are welcome, I think Default should be 2xMG-151/20's.

Sorry mate, i completley missed your post, wish you luck with with getting it up and running, best wishes.

Trying to think hypothetically, the manouvreability of the 103R Twin would probably not be that good, pilot training would be rudimentary and i would envision the 103R being used similar to the Natter, with one high speed pass, then a return to base. With that in mind how about a salvo of r4m's (12 or 24)?

103R could then approach from the rear, loose of one salvo and return to base, minimal training required, no dogfighting.

just my thoughts

Well I wouldn't imagine it as a dogfighter, I did have thought about R4M, but there wasn't anywhere very realistic to place them.
So I could just give it say 2 Mk-108's and a midwing wfrg21 rocket-Against bombers.
Reading on some fictional history also thinking 2 MG-151/20's and 250kg bomb midwing for some ground strafing of light tanks, troops and vehicles.
Drop the bomb and you can intercept light bombers like A-20 or some recon aircraft.

What I was thinking was to don't set headling and range to the bombsight but let the bearing set by the vector plane route whet it release the V1 and give at the V1 (if developed as a bomb....a stand alone bomb) a presetted range before takeoff....maybe setting the rocket delay in arming panel reading km instead of meter so the pilot should act as it was historically: reach the correct target distance and release the V1 in the correct headling....

Default look fine. I think, for strafing / ground attack purposes, perhaps you could add :
- a small ETC rack for 4 SC50 bombs (like the ME 109)
or
- an additional container with dual MGs or 20mm (like those on the stukas)
or
- a 30mm cannon, same as Zwilling 109

an AB 250 (or smaller? i think i saw one) could perhaps be used.

All those stores could be squeezed under the middle wing section I think.

Nice work!

I need little help with cockpit, if someone java guru have time   



Speed gauge must be calibrated, and clock must be working. Fortunaly altimeter 100% working with original parametres  . I tried several hours to edit classifiles but i did not understand how to use class resolving tool.

TT, if U still intersted, me and Red_Fox90 are about to finish Fi-103RIV mod. I think, it's a good time to look into your work.
Would U send me your cockpit mod for eventual incorporation ?

[TT]

PM sended.

Yeah, sounds good to mate, either solution will do fine. I do believe that the gyro compass could be set before flight to so that the V-1 flew on a set bearing, noy necessarily the same as the plane but not far off, see my post earlier where i posted a link to a book, i think it describes something there.

Would r4m go under the centre wing section? If not what about in the nose of the unmanned V-1, like in the nose of the natter? just a thought.

Verhängnis, will be possible a "single V1" armed variant?

I want to get the Bücker finished first.
