Yhere is no way to do third-party designated guidance (like lasing for a Hellfire fired from behind a ridge), and no way in the game code base to do this whatsoever. It would need a complete new game engine to do this.

I had guessed so far, otherwise I reckon there would have already been plenty and not me asking silly questions!
I agree that there can be no third-party targetting (alas, this is a big part of modern warfare, but I must acknowledge what you said about the game engine, you know best).
But cannot some such weapons be modelled as autonomous? Some are F&F indeed. And anyway the need for a good FO (blind shooting rare and expensive smart rounds?
) could do for the "guy with a laser pointer" third-party thing.
Maybe AP (cluster) ammo can be tweaked so as to be closer from a single-round, high-kill-rate anti-armour seeker?
