Also, i find most aircraft fired misssiles not as accurate as they should be. (During desert storm,IIRC, Mavericks had about 80-90% hit rate. In game, if i'm lucky , its 30-50%.)
Consider that the figure you quote about ODS probably includes a LOT of large non-moving targets such as bunkers, roadworks, radars...

About cluster bombs, well, I admit I have seen my share of ineffective airstrikes, but I have also seen infantry companies wiped off by one MLRS salvo...
And MLRS CM rockets have just the same parameters as the AP cluster bombs.

A detailed relation of the effects of cluster bombs following HE pen and HEK would be fine to have, though I understand it could get quite cryptic. HE pen looks clear enough, but does the HEK stands for the ability to kill infantry? And what about the APK, which incidentally is 0 for most cluster weapons?
