GBU-54 LJDAM

I know they aren’t on the list so am sure this is a negative, but given this is a 2007 Viper and acquisition of the LJDAM started in 2007 with the first operational drop in 2008 (by a 77th FS Viper no less, which we already have a skin for) was thinking it isn’t really unrealistic for a 2007 Viper.

It would be a nice alternative but would be too new compared to current in-game systems.

"In September 2006, the Departments of the Navy and Air Force put in place a low-cost, non-developmental enhancement to the GBU-38 (500-pound) JDAM to address moving targets. Open competition and source selection completed in February 2010, and the Air Force awarded a contract to Boeing for a version of Laser JDAM (LJDAM) that provides a direct-attack moving-target capability. LJDAM (GBU-54) is a 500-pound dual-mode weapon that couples the GPS/INS precision of the JDAM and laser-designated accuracy of the laser-guided bomb into a single weapon. LJDAM also provides added capability and flexibility to the Fleet�s existing inventory of precision-guided munitions to satisfy the ground moving-target capability gap. LJDAM reached IOC in FY 2012. The Navy is developing the GBU-58 Laser JDAM for the BLU-109 penetrator to field in 2018 to replace the legacy GBU-24 Paveway III weapons systems."
