Auto Credit Based on AMPPL50's Spiess

One of the most unique types of ordnance in the Blessed Germanic Empire's arsenal are cruise missiles, such as the prop-driven ones equipped in this long-range Spiess. In the Empire's doctrine, these flying bombs have two purposes: On one side, they enable bombers to safely pepper objectives such as cities from afar, and on the other, their performance, and that of their ground-launched counterparts, is just high enough to be vulnerable to interception, aiding in the Blessed Germanic Empire's doctrine of using attacks like these not so much to sow destruction as it is to tie up defenses. This particular aircraft is typically seen on the Mediterranean, targeting Iberian populations in retailation for the CIR's support of the Tyrrhenian Confederation.
