Basically a V2. I don’t know how to limit the altitude. Purchaseable as a base for a ballistic missile.

    @AeroTactical German V-2 rocket even without its warhead, could not reach outer space as defined by the Kármán line (100 km altitude).
    .
    V-2 was designed as a ballistic missile, not a space launch vehicle. With a standard warhead (about 1,000 kg), it reached a maximum altitude of around 80-90 km on a vertical flight. Removing the warhead would reduce its weight, increasing altitude somewhat, but not enough to cross the 100 km threshold.
    .
    V-2's single-stage liquid-fuel engine provided a specific impulse of about 239 seconds and a total burn time of around 65 seconds. This was insufficient to achieve the velocity needed for orbital or suborbital spaceflight (approximately 7.9 km/s for low Earth orbit). Even without a payload, V2 rocket's maximum velocity was around 1.6 km/s.
    .
    V-2 lacked the structural design and guidance systems for stable flight beyond its intended suborbital trajectory. Its fins and gyroscopic stabilization were optimized for atmospheric flight, not the vacuum of space.
    .
    While V-2 was a groundbreaking technology, it was not a space rocket. Post-WWII, modified V-2s used in U.S. experiments (e.g., Project Bumper) reached altitudes up to 400 km by adding upper stages, but the base V-2 alone couldn’t achieve this.
    .
    In short, a V-2 without its warhead could fly higher than its standard configuration but still lacked the power, design, and velocity to reach outer space.
    .
    Thats my argument.
