Natter in real life.

The Natter rocket plane (English: Viper, Adder) was a World War II rocket powered interceptor designed by German engineer Erich Bachem. Thirty-six were produced with the only manned flight resulting in the death of the pilot.

Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII

In Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII, the Natter is a new fighter jet issued to the Waffen-SS. It has one position and fires four rockets at a time. It is lightly armored and won't survive concentrated small arms or anti-aircraft fire, though this is offset by the Natter's sheer speed and maneuverability. It is best used against ground targets.

The Natter appears in the map "Hellendoorn", wherein there are two possible spawn sites for the Natter, one in Sector F5 and the other in Sector C2 (the latter being if the flag is captured by the German team). The Natter also appears on the map "Peenemünde". Two Natters are placed at the German base at the airstrip, next to the hangar in which the HO-229 is located.

Unlike conventional aircraft, it takes off from a special launching unit. Once launched, it will maintain flight until its fuel runs out (a couple of minutes) and will then slowly start to descent. It cannot be landed properly, so it is advised to eject the plane and parachute to safety.
