I used to play a flight sim that had this weapon as one of the loadouts for German interceptors. It was really hard to hit B-17s with this thing. You fired it from a long way off to stay out of machine gun range of the B-17s and guided it in with a joystick. I believe it had a flare in the tail for visual reference to help you guide it to a bomber. Every once in a while you would hit a plane with one, but cannons made more sense to me, even if you had to get dangerously close to the bombers to use them.
