Overview

The V2 Rocket is fairly cheap though also very weak when compared to the other kinds of missiles. It has a considerable range and as with all missiles, will only be deterred by the Missile Shield future technology.

The V2 Rocket can only target a single building/unit and will cause damage comparable to the special forces saboteur ability, making it very useful at destroying key buildings such as wonders or reducing cities or defenses, as a large swarm of them can easily level enemy wonders before the opponent has any hope of researching missile shield.
