Rockets

Rockets are self propelled, unguided, area attack weapons. There are various types of rockets for each Faction and helicopter.

Real life use
Aerial rockets have been in use since the First World War, the very war that saw the first large-scale use of aircraft for military purposes in history. Eventually, they were fitted to helicopters as well.

After the introduction of guided missiles, rockets are still being used for CAS(Close Air Support) to attack large numbers of targets spread out over an area.

How to use
Rockets are inaccurate, but you can carry a large number of them because they're very light and are usually grouped into rocket pods. Since they're pretty short-ranged, the best way to use them is to fly towards the target at high speed, aim in the general direction of the target, and fire several rockets in quick succession by holding down the fire button(the sound of rockets being fired in sucession is very COOL, by the way).

Rockets aren't reloaded in the air, so you'll have to R2B after firing all of them.
