Re: More realistic air OOB for USA
Only to the APSWK II, the USMC is the only service using them, for about 1.5 yrs. The USA dropped the program but the USN decided to fund and proceed with it on their own. The USMC has had great success with them in the field particularly in Afghanistan where the guidance systems have reduced "collateral damage" and in some cases given them an improved urban attack capability. The USN and USAF are testing them for their primary ground attack aircraft, respectively the HORNET and A-10 and I believe this is still ongoing or soon to wrap up. You'll have to dig a little but info is in the Helo... & Jets... threads and in the patch post from last season (5.5), APSWK II is in the game now. The difference in accuracy, off the top of head, went from ~15m to less than 1m well worth the investment by the Dept. of the(US)N.
