Default Re: Stand-off cluster \"bombs\"?

Cluster bombs are dropped at bomb range by aircraft. It is part of the game engine. Planes using missiles use the stand-off missile routine at teh start of the air pass, and then may carry on table to complete a bomb run. All air to mud missiles have unitary HE warheads (and changing that would really need a new game engine). Planes using other weapons then fly in, and as part of the move seqence may fire class 11 cannons (not bombers), and then drop any other air ordnace as part of the bomb run. So giving an air cluster bomb any range element is therefore worthless. It will be dropped as part of the bombing run as normal for all air dropped bombs.
