The Red Angel is very similar to other large rockets, such as the [[Tiny Tim]] or [[Uncle Tom]]. It's a large, slow rocket, with a devastating payload, that usually doesn't even need a direct hit to destroy even heavily-armoured targets.

=== Effective damage ===

The Red Angel's high explosive TNT warhead explodes immediately on impact. Damage is caused mostly by blast overpressure and fragmentation.

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of rockets that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

== Usage in battles ==

The Red Angel was designed as an anti-ship rocket and is best used as such.

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

* High explosive payload
* Large damage radius, near-misses are very forgiving against lightly armoured targets
* Deals overpressure damage
* Good flight characteristics

'''Cons:'''

* Extremely heavy
* Low velocity
* Heavy payload that will affect flight performance
* Planes can only carry 2 rockets

== Usage in battles ==


The A-1H can perform well in battles at its tier, either as CAS with a whopping 30 250 LB bomb capacity, 228 FFAR rockets and 11 Mk. 77 Napalm bombs. It can also preform decently as a fighter due to the fact it has flares, which not only allows it to be used as a fighter, it can be used in higher tier battles.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Huge and varied payload options, including napalms and rockets.
* Access to custom loadout options
* Can mount up to 8 miniguns with plenty of ammunition, capable of destroying any planes with a short burst.
* Access to countermeasures, making it an ideal CAS in ground battles.
* Four 20 mm cannons are good for ground targets and plane.

'''Cons:'''

* Mediocre maneuverability that worsens with a payload you carry
* 20 mm cannons and miniguns have different ballistic properties, can make lining up shot somewhat tricky.
* Can face jet aircraft that can easily hunt down and destroy the plane.
