Instead of mounting rockets, parachute mines can be mounted on hardpoints. This can be a great way to get at pesky tailers. They are identical to rockets in most respects, with the exception that parachute mines can be deployed in your own hex or in any of your three rear hexes.
AP Mine
A AP mine inflicts a AP rocket template on the unfortunate target. A normal to-hit roll is made.
HE Mine
A HE mine inflicts a HE rocket template on the unfortunate target. A normal to-hit roll is made.
Flak Mine
This is just the same as a Flak Rocket, and explodes on the next turn just as a Flak Rocket does.
Flare Mine
This is just the same as a Flare Rocket.
Blimp Mine
These are clusters of small mines with balloons that hang suspended in the air; they remain on the battlefield for the duration of the battle. Blimp Mines do a single Flak template to any plane entering their hex. The only way to clear the hex is to place it under regular flak; this ruptures all the balloons.
Smoke Mine
This is the same as the Smoke Rocket.
Sonic Mine
This the same as the Sonic Rocket, only you avoid stunning yourself. If placed in your own hex, you can be affected normally.
