A late war rocket bomb used to intercept bomber formations. The type 3 No. 6 originally used a white phosphorus incendiary warhead intended to set bombers alight, with a customisable ground-set timed fuse.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
The Type 3 No. 6 rocket bomb is a moderately slow projectile with a maximum speed of 270 m/s with 2.5 kg of equivalent TNT explosiveness with approximately 30mm RHA equivalent penetration and an anti-air splash radius of approximately 30 metres comparable to the american HVAR rocket . All aircraft that feature this projectile feature the superior Type 5 No.6 Mod.9 rocket with exception of the A6M5 Hei.
Usage in battles
This rocket is a rather mediocre ordinance capable of destroying only aerial and lightly armoured targets. Where available, research and utilise the Type 5 No. 6 Mod. 9 rocket in place, however this rocket is sufficiently light as an intermediary addition to your fighter aircraft.
Pros and cons
Summarize and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.
Pros:
- Light and has minimal drag
- Minimal parabolic drop
- Launches straight on all equipped aircraft
- Minor spread
- Single-launches
Cons:
- It is only loaded in a pair of two.
- Rather mediocre for air to air usefulness due to the small fragmentation radius
- Rather mediocre for destroying ground units
- Does not have pyrophoric filler in WT and thus acts as a regular HE rocket only
History
In the late war period, Japan started resorting aircraft priorities towards the destruction of enemy bombers and fleet. To assist with the defence, several rocket designs were approved for usage in battle, one of which being the Type 3 No. 6 pyrophoric rocket bomb. While the rockets are only loaded in a pairs of two on aircraft currently in war thunder, there has been a mention by the history team behind the production of the anime series The Magnificent Kotobuki (荒野のコトブキ飛行隊) that they may have been loaded with up to 6 or 8 pairs on the Ki-43 (Family) Hayabusa and Ki-84 (Family) however such documents proving the historical usage by said aircraft are either absent or have not been found by the international community, or could have been made up by misinterpretation such as in the case of the jet powered J7W2 theoretical adaption of the J7W1.
