Rocketeer

Rocketeers were Allied flying infantrymen that were used against the Soviets in GWWIII. Using a powerful jet pack, Rocketeers useful for attacking ground and air units. In large enough numbers, Rocketeers could decimate infantry, buildings, and light vehicles in moments. They could also shoot down V-3 rockets while they were in flight. They were very fast and could be used in hit-and-run raids on Soviet bases and do them flawlessly.

Unfortunately, due to the need to keep weight low to maintain flight, Rocketeers had little armor. Soviet units like the Flak Track or the Flak Trooper could easily shoot down rocketeers. Yuri's Gattling Cannon and Gattling Tank proved even deadlier against them. [1]

During the war, their first notable deployment was to assist Tanya in retaking the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs from Soviet Control.

In WWIII, the Imperial Rocket Angel is similar to them in flight capabilities - the only difference between them are their armor, their gender and their effectiveness against enemy unit types.
