Got another flying-pig wish while we're at it:

How about recycling weapon class 23 to airburst weapons?

Right now airburst artillery and bombs are done any old how depending on the OOBs, sometimes as class 14, sometimes as regular class 6-7-11 with raised HE Kill and accuracy.
Both are off the mark, as classes 6-7-11 will leave craters more consistent with an impact burst, and since v4.5 class 14 will leave unexploded bomblets.

A new class could be based on class 19 (more on this later) with the following changes:
-Less or no cratering.
-Higher chance of top impacts.
-Less or no destructive hit chances against armored vehicles.
-Higher hit chances on entrenched units, infantry or vehicles.
-Maybe higher all-around hit chances, particularly against air targets.
-Allowed HEAT fire against hovering helicopter targets, possibly with heightened hit chances.

Basing the targeting modes on class 19 would allow to feature quite accurately all the following:
-Artillery rounds set on 'VT' mode or with proximity fuze.
-Timed or 'daisy cutter' aircraft GP bombs.
-Modern time-fuzed autocannon rounds (chiefly the 3P and AHEAD series) including in AA fire (what these rounds are designed for)
-Time-fuzed HE or multifunction tank rounds like the US M830 or Russian HE rounds fired with the Ainet system (as mounted on the T-80U and T-90). Both are designed to engage helicopters.

Ladies and gentlemen, your thoughts?
