Once just a commonplace gadget in sci-fi shows, jetpacks were developed just in time for GWWII. Rocketeers as they're known utilized these jetpacks for raids and air support, where they would rain down machinegun fire upon the enemy below. A recent upgrade to the jetpack exchanged it's pair of rather weak machineguns with a pair of miniaturised Prism Refractors. The upgrade made Rocketeers deadlier now, having better firepower enabling them to finish off light resistance quicker. Even heavily armoured tanks will succumb to sustained fire. Unlike it's full-sized counterpart used in Prism Tanks, the weapon is very ineffective against structures due to using smaller, weaker power cells. This makes avoiding AA emplacements all the more crucial since Rocketeers are extremely fragile, being just men in flight suits after all.
