Update: Downloaded latest destruction version above: now default and warhead pretty similar in their effect; both cause a lot of smoke !!!
Radius of destruction seems 0.5 to 0.75km. (Diameter of 1.0 to1.5km./ 2max.) Shock wave is instantaneous.
For best dive (power=zero), I roll over to nullify the glide. Small pull on stick, makes It fall straight down; it can still be slightly guided to target but I let go
and turn to external view to observe. This is more true to history, for the pilot-less version at least.
The Fi-103 Reichenberg naval 'kamikase' pilots were suppose to try parachute out, but had only 1% chance of survival.
I have now learn that the engine cut-off was a FAILURE of the pulse engine to work in a power-dive. This was corrected with later models.
I have always thought the notorious engine cut-off was intended. Not so. A pulse-counter affected the controls on final. Also armed the device.
