Due to their short range and poor defensive stats against aircraft, the rocket fighter performs best when left as a standalone unit or in tandem with each other; escorting bombers using rocket fighters is typically a poor choice due to the lack of operational range and fragility of the fighters on the defensive. A viable alternative, however, is to launch bombers towards the enemy and subsequently launch rocket fighters to intercept any aircraft the opponent sends to attack your bombers instead, as this takes full advantage of the rocket fighters' superior attack.
