The V2 guidance system was an integrating accelerometer and a gyroscope. They could barely hit a target the size of London. The lack of accurate guidance made it a militarily ineffective weapon.

To be fair the V2 rockets never hit anything useful prinarily because the British had turned every german spy and were feeding them false information about the results of the attacks.

The rocket guidance system was not capable of hitting something more precise than "London", and of course the British tried to stop even that from happening.
