A/C GP loadouts not working fo ASUW

Hi all,
I was playing the westpac battle set with the "Pirates" scenario and found that I could not use general purpose loadouts with my f16's to attack maratime targets. Has anyone else found the same in other scenarios? It would be good if the game would alow me. Since I am already chasing boghammers with Appache longbows. The use of iron bombs would seem pretty plausible.[;)]

You certainly can use iron bombs against maritime targets. However, you're not using iron bombs per se. You're attempting to use Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs), which are GPS guided versions of iron bombs, and cannot be employed against moving targets. [;)]

That's until someone developes the LJDAMs in the database. [:D]

I already have. [:'(] The LJDAM is in the HCDB, just that right now its limited to a MQ-9 Reaper loadout. (As an aside, the Royal Singapore Air Force - as depicted in this particular scenario - doesn't yet have LJDAM).
