These crucible rockets ain't too quick, but boy do they pack a punch!
The ground attack rocket, also called the crucible heavy assault rocket or simply crucible rocket, is an plane weapon featured in The Lost Frontier. Considered the least advanced among missile weapons, being unable to track targets entirely (though they will be fired towards an enemy if it is more or less in front of you), it does pack nearly the most punch, only standing below the Armageddon in direct damage output. It is also unique in that it cannot be equipped in any weapon slots, as such, it is not fired with 
or 
but rather with the 
face button.
It comes pre-equipped in a unique slot on the Sky Raider, Gunship, and Jaguar, and on three slots on the Bomber. The Jaguar is a notable exception however, as despite its single slot, it acts as if it has three, firing three rockets at the same time and with an ammo capacity of three.

Despite the immense power output, which is quite amplified by the high rate of fire, it is throttled by a limited ammo capacity and reload speed. Nevertheless, it is an additional weapon available next to your personal chosen load-out and can become quite significant in hunting down slow or stationary enemies such as the Aeropan transport or ACS Behemoth.
