| Explosive mass | 465 g TNTeq |
| Warhead type | HEAT |
| Armour penetration | 150 mm |
Effective damage
Describe the type of damage produced by this type of rocket (high explosive, splash damage, etc)
Comparison with analogues
In addition to its warhead being reasonably smaller than that of most rockets, it also appears to have one of the smallest ranges before self-destruction. Approximately 4km for the series of vertical launch tests above sea level that can be seen in reference[1].
Usage in battles
When using these rockets on the IL-28Sh, it is highly recommended to fire these rockets in short volleys to compensate for the inaccuracy, while preserving rockets and allowing for adjustments in aim. The IL-28Sh can carry 192 of these rockets (12 pods total), but is not recommended to fire in large volleys as it can waste rockets.
The rockets are first fired from the furthest pod from the fuselage.
It is highly recommended to keep the plane levelled due to the placement of the pods.
If these rockets are to be used for the MiG-19PT, it is recommended to expel half of the rockets in a single volley for a target, re-position, and fire the rest on another target.
If there is an SPAA present, it is recommended to expel all rockets in a single volley onto the SPAA, then retreat.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Decent penetration (150 mm at 0°), can penetrate roofs with some ease
Cons:
- Self-destruct after 4 km travel
- Inaccurate
History
As a whole, the S-5 rockets were developed after the capture of German 55 mm R4M rockets. Development began in 1951 as project ARS-57, in 1955 the project reached completion and received the S-5 designation. The S-5 family contains roughly 18 variants. While the S-5 has seen extensive use, it is known for its poor accuracy. During the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan the S-5 were deemed ineffective and were phased out for the larger S-8 rockets.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
