The development of this equipment (also called jet packs) come from the World War II era. There are real rocket pack designs that really fly, albeit only for several minutes.Whether the rocketeer appearing in Red Alert 2 was a reference to the superhero or the concept was just based on it is uncertain. The design of the jetpack used in Red Alert 2 resembles the one used by The Rocketeer.They are both sided with the Allies and are using hit and run tactics.They are both used in a world war (WWII and Third World War).

The Rocketeer is a superhero which has been used in comics and a movie created in 1991. The idea of the rocketeers is probably taken from a superhero of the same name. They only stand when placed on a map, and only walk when being impersonated by spies. They fill the same role, but unlike their Tiberian Sun counterparts, rocketeers always fly from the moment they spawn from the barracks. The rocketeers are based on Jump jet infantry from Tiberian Sun, since the name of this unit is Jumpjet in the game files.The rocketeer is voiced by David Fries, who also voiced the chrono legionnaire and Propaganda Truck.Loses to an IFV, flak track, and gattling tank in one-on-one duels.Useless against heavy vehicles unless massed.Wins against a deployed Guardian GI in a one-on-one duel.Very effective at harassing enemy units.After Anatoly Cherdenko altered the timeline, these flying soldiers did not have an Allied-aligned equivalent during the War of the Three Powers, although the Empire of the Rising Sun developed a similar unit called the rocket angel, whose weapons are more effective against tanks and aircraft.

They are not known to operate after the events of the Psychic Dominator Disaster. The only instance in standard gameplay where a rocketeer is seemingly observed walking is when a spy disguises as one. The rocketeers can be seen grounded in Eagle Dawn and Mirage, as when placed on a map, they start out standing on their feet. They are especially effective against Allied GIs and Soviet Conscripts as they cannot fight back. If a player is attacking only with units that cannot target air units, groups of rocketeers are an effective counter. Groups of nine or more are powerful against many ground targets. Groups of five or more rocketeers can usually overwhelm an IFV. It is worth noting that the Rocketeer was one of only a small group of air units capable of attacking other air units, along with the (campaign-exclusive) Cosmonaut, the Soviets' Siege chopper, and Yuri's Floating Disc, being an excellent counter to the latter when massed. They can only be easily taken out by anti-air units such as IFVs, Flak tracks, Apocalypse tanks, and Aegis Cruisers. Since they are an air unit, the rocketeer is completely immune to attacks to most ground troops, even with mind control. Due to their inability to withstand sustained fire, are primarily used behind more durable units such as IFVs and Grizzly battle tanks.

Rocketeers have high enough health to survive a few splash damage attacks, but point defenses like gatling weapons present a significant problem. Rocketeers are one of only three infantry units that cannot enter the Infantry Fighting Vehicle, as they are constantly flying (the others being cosmonauts and brutes). They are most useful when massed, especially for taking down Kirov airships and enemy harvesters.

Rocketeers are a good choice for scouting due to their speed and low cost. Judging by their noticeable accent, they are likely recruited from the southern United States. Equipped with a high powered jetpack and high-calibre semi-automatic carbine, these brave men can stay in the air almost indefinitely.ĭuring the war, their first notable deployment was to assist Tanya in retaking the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs from Soviet control.
