Default Re: Q about the AGM-142 \"Raptor\"

Well in this case I'm confused. There is an ARM weapon class (weapon class 16). The AGM-142 is not a class 16 weapon (it is class 17, a PGM). Unit 920 in the USA Obat, an F-35 JSF which is a class 214 SEAD aicraft has a weapon load out of 1 27mm Bordkannon (a class 11 weapon; weapon number 195), 2 AGM-142 (a class 17 weapon; weapon number 214), and 2 sets of 2 500 lb Paveways (a class 17 weapon; weapon number 212). Thus we have a SEAD aircraft with no class 16 weapons. This is the same with units 587 and 904 (again both F-35 JSFs) in the USMC Obat.

The AGM-142 is not an ARM in real life nor is it an ARM in game, which means these aircraft are Class 214 SEAD aicraft with no ARMs.
