AGM62 Bomb vs Missile

They do what exactly? They're both designated as Air to Ground Missiles (AGM).

When introduced they were given the (new) AGM designation, later as a 'glide bomb' the Walleye was listed separately from other AGM's (i.e. AGM-65, AGM-88 and AGM-84) in weapons tables as it didn't really fit with the other bomb or missile categories.

Can you shoot the Walleye down with an A/A missile or a SAM? In DCS you can shoot at missilies, but not at bombs.

If it isn't possible because of it's bomb designation it should be moved to the missile category to make it "downshootable" like a JSOW or BK90.

Although steerable via a data-link, the 2400 lb Walleye II is little different from a 2000 lb JDAM (GBU-31).

I'm not sure that DCS's air defence systems should be given modern 'Iron Dome' and 'C-RAM' capabilities

... which bombs/missiles the AI can shoot down requires more info than "I think it should", however there are inconsistencies in DCS as to which air defence units can shoot down which bombs/missiles that ED need to address/document.

just rename it GBU-62 and be done with it...

Interestingly, in the tactical manual pocket guide for the F/A-18 (A to C), both the Walleyes and the JSOWs are listed together with bombs, rockets and mines in the "air-to-ground weapons" category, versus the "air-to-ground missiles" category, which has the the AGM-65s, 84s and 88s (and, yes, the category names don't make a lot of sense, with the "missile" vs "weapon" thing).

Maybe some new categories could be

- Bombs (mk82, mk77, mk20 etc)

- Guided Bombs (gbu12, walleye, jsow etc)

- Rockets (WP please)

- Missiles (mavericks, harms, harpoons etc)

- Air to Air
