V2 Rocket Launcher launching pad attack animation

The v2rl SHP file has an unused attacking animation:

You may want to slow the game down and see if they are used. You may not see them with the game speed set to fast speed settings.

NO it doesn't have.

I just tested with the lowest speed and I can't see them being used.

Same as the Rocket Launcher in C&C1. It also has turret down frames (supposedly for moving) and turret up frames for firing. My patch just always makes it use the turret up frames, they look better.

Okay just thought I would ask.

I guess they based the V2 on the C&C1 Rocket Launcher then, the early screenshots for Red Alert 1 show the C&C1 Rocket Launcher being used so it would make a lot of sense, the artist working on the SHP animation probably directly based it on the Rocket Launcher one.

Hm, I hadn't noticed you'd changed that turret on the rear of the rocket launcher. Personally, I quite liked how it popped up and then fired. Little sad to see it'd been taken out.
