I met one of those jets rocketing. It was such an easy target for the 35mm of my wildcat.
I would not really count on rocket pods for anything but the largest clusters of infantry. I consider the 25mm of the jet to be a better tool vs infantry than the rockets

@UP_Hawxxeye my response was mainly to illustrate my answer to your question "What happened to your own team's aircraft though?" Giving the jets rocket pods facilitates in taking away more aerial combat focus, as they replace the jets IR missiles
Irregardless of being effective or not, there's no need for them in the game.

I had honestly moaned in frustration when they were announced due to my memories of the pod abuse in BF3/4.
But I want to point out that the good jet pilots also use the rocket pods in dogfights (probably as a filler between the cannon bursts) - Man_iLoveFishing3 years agoSeasoned Ace@RanzigeRidder2 Jet pilots mostly use 25mm on infantry. It takes 3-4 hits to take out infantry with pods and they are not as easy as in bf3.

I could only see the pods being viable in the unlikely scenario that most of the team is clustered within meters of each other for a Rush M-com etc.
Otherwise the 25mm is probably the most amazing infantry killer a jet has
