January 2, 201115 yr I was hoping that Harpoon Ultimate would have changed JDAMS from missiles to bombs since its not really a missile. Is their a reason for this?

January 2, 201115 yr Yes, and also a guided bomb (or a dumb bomb) can be intercepted by a missile. But with the presente game engine, if we modeled a JDAM as bomb, his impact is automatic, and it's not interceptable by the defences (remember a British dumb bomb intercepted in the South Atlantic War by an Argentine Crotale). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_(missile)#cite_note-13 Argentina purchased 4 Roland shelter-mounted systems for static defense of fixed installations and one of these was deployed to defend Stanley airfield during the Falklands War with Britain in 1982. This system fired 8 out of the 10 missiles it was deployed with and is credited with shooting down one Harrier Jump Jet and two 454 kg bombs. This system was captured intact by the British.[
