These rockets
were very effective and often took out 3 or 4 bombers and broke up the
formation.

Often? That doesn't jibe with German claims - multiple claims from a single
rocket salvo were VERY rare, as most of the pilots using them misjudged the
release point for the often-erratic WGr 21s.

Damage to more than one bomber was common; but destroying more than one was
not. I haven't met a LW pilot that felt the rockets were a better choice than
cannons - and I have heard more than one of them curse about those "damned
rockets" that made their aircraft sitting ducks for escorts.

Its always better to lose -an- engine, not -the- engine.
