smart bombs

[awdrgyjo]

I want to complete a mission as realistically as possible, so here's my question:

In real life, if a military fuel depot was defended by small arms fire, and it was isolated many miles from a civilian population, would dumb bombs be the ordnance of choice, or would the more expensive, smarter version win the day, I suppose it all comes down to accuracy VS money.

 

I picked up some where, that the majority of bombs dropped by A-10s in conflict were dumb, and I was curious as to what would happen in this particular scenario, thanks in advance.

Depends on the aircraft capabilities, weapons available for use, pilot training, accuracy needed, threats and what the command wanted to use.

Interesting question, often ask myself the same question when I'm rearming the plane.

 

EDIT: why is this in the bug section?

^ seconded.

 

I think one thread on the subject is enough.
