[QUOTE="Jemiba, post: 20215, member: 80"] The solution may have been the same, as proposed for the Miles Hoop-la from 1940: Attacking area targets with masses of weapons, instead of trying in vain to achieve pin point accuracy. A given bearing and a given range are quite sufficient then, no need for accuracy ... Or they simply copied the german Siemens-Schuckert torpedo glider from 1915, which was wire controlled, but the best range achieved with this model was 7,6 km, after release from about 1200m, as far as I know .
