Default Re: SEAD aircraft without ARMs?

The entire point of the SEAD class is to put all ARM armed planes in it. Because if you give a normal strike aircraft ARM, the user can be confused as it will go for radar AAA/SAM (if present) instead of the troops he actually targeted it on.

It is the ARM that gives it the radar hunting targeting strategy, and not the weapon class. If no ARM, or none left, or there are no radar targets, the SEAD class will operate as a strike plane.

Cheers
