Northstar98 Posted June 5, 2020 Posted June 5, 2020 Hi everyone, bit of a pedantic one, but a couple of things that have kinda bugged me a little. First is the Tomahawk Land Attack Missile, the variant we seem to have in DCS is the BGM-109C TLAM-C (as well as the BGM-109E TLAM Block IV, but it doesn't look like it's implemented), but in DCS it's called the BGM-109B. According to multiple sources the BGM-109B refers to the anti-ship variant of the Tomahawk, the TASM, which has guidance similar to that of the Harpoon, and not the GPS/INS/TERCOM/DSMAC guidance the land-attack Tomahawks have. The second is the AGM-84S - a missile that straight up has the wrong designation. Firstly it is fired from ships, meaning it should be an RGM instead of an AGM (AGM refers to an air-launched weapon), secondly there is no -84S variant - though in DCS it's probably more appropriate to be the RGM-84D Harpoon Block 1C, as it shares commonality with the F/A-18s AGM-84D, just with folding fins and a first stage booster.
