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

 === Pros and cons ===
@@ Line 37: / Line 37: @@
 '''Pros:'''
-* One of the highest TNT payloads for rockets, behind the Uncle Tom and Tiny Tim
+* High explosive payload
-* Near-misses are very forgiving if used against lightly armoured vehicles or boats and even tanks
+* Large damage radius, near-misses are very forgiving against lightly armoured targets
-* Over-pressure capable for Ground Vehicles
+* Deals overpressure damage
-* Basically functions as a very heavy, rocket-powered 500lb bomb
+* Good flight characteristics
 '''Cons:'''
 * Extremely heavy
 * Low velocity
-* Can only carry a payload of 2
+* Heavy payload that will affect flight performance
-* On the Wyvern, they are both launched together
+* Planes can only carry 2 rockets
