I like the idea of using these Flying Bombs... but they do actually only few damage, don't they?
Yes, that is true. They are largely window dressing in a land scenario because their attack values against infantry and vehicles is so low, as compared to against naval units - a quick look at units.csv confirms this.
There is no V1 Flying Bomb in the game so Erik uses the Japanese MXY-7 Ohka which looks somewhat similar (although a rounder nose, a different jet engine assembly, and two tail fins instead of one) but to the best of my knowledge, this unit was created for the Rising Sun campaign and was used in naval scenarios. Hence their greater attack values against ships.
Once in a while, the MXY-7 Ohka gets lucky and inflicts a small amount of damage on a land unit but otherwise, they are ineffective. You would need dozens of them to make a difference and that would be tedious to play or even to watch. Erik threw them in as entertainment, perhaps, and gives the control of them to your AI ally so that you don't waste any time managing these flying firecrackers.
For this mainly psychological impact may still reduce the organization of the affected units...
-> I don't think one could change this (i.e. giving them some "shock" impact vs land units) without changing the units.csv file and thus without having actually to create (or modify) a mod, could one?
