Good news - I took another look at Maverick vs air and underwater targets problem and now I'm optimistic about possibility of making doctrine-level fix to this bug, so it would not home on submerged and air targets :-). Will try to do something with this tomorrow. It has the "magic" lock-on but anyway still follows doctrine orders, so the wrong lock can be simply canceled. Of course range would be reduced to realistic too, DP probably a bit lower.
Second thing - what about changing SLAM-ER into ASM missile or even into a Harpoon ? I think ASM missile is more needed for P-3 than land attack capability (anyway still partially retained with Maverick) ?
I'm NOT sure yet if it's possible to change SlamER into Harpoon. But should I try at all ? Or maybe SLAM-ER is needed and should be left unchanged ?
Cheers!
