The AP version of the RP-3 rocket family used an inert armour piercing warhead to puncture the armour of tanks or hull of submarines. Fired at a shallow angle from aircraft such as the Hawker Hurricane and Typhoon, the rocket saw much use in the air-to-sea role, but limited success in the air-to-ground role. The simulation presents what would happen in the case of a direct hit on the side of the Tiger II's turret.

There is conflicting information regarding the velocity of the rocket, as well as how it is affected by aircraft speed and burn time, so a median velocity of 450m/s was chosen.

The tube was made simply hollow and fins were omitted for mesh simplicity
