Unguided rockets are universally useless against aircraft in reality, mostly due to slow speed and awful accuracy. If it does hit the target, it will devastate it, but actually hitting the target was a one-in-a-million shot. The introduction of jet engines made it a total impossibility.

This is why cold war and modern AA leaned toward guided missiles that can track, outspeed, and hit the target, while unguided rockets stayed assigned to ground targets, where their warheads and poor accuracy meant that large numbers of them were particularly good at saturating a wide area with a mass of explosive fire.

Just being a nerd.
