Work on the V1 began in 1935, but didnt get official backing until well into the war.
Maybe with the help of some technical breakthroughs etc. What if it gets backed and goes into production earlier?
In OTL the Germans were able to fire off a couple of hundred per day while the bases and transport net were under air attack from vastly superior allied air forces. So I think they could significantly exceed that. In OTL, the number of launches began as a dribble and ramped quickly. So assume the same.
13 Aug 1940 (eagle day) - 6 V1s launched at London
14 Aug 1940 - 26 V1s
15 Aug 1940 - 37 V1s
16 Aug 1940 - 98 V1s
17 Aug 1940 - 123 V1s
18 Aug 1940 - 241 V1s
19 Aug 1940 - 337 V1s
From then on 300-500 V1 launches per day (mostly on the lower side)
Does Hitler still divert the LW to attack London after the RAF bomb Berlin? (Let's say no as the V1 is doing the job).
What is the effect on Britain?
What is the V1 called in this TL?
