AIRCRAFT DELIVERED WEAPONS: Cluster Bombs: Cluster Bombs may be either of the antipersonnel or anti-tank type. Anti-personnel Cluster Bombs have the burst area of an 8" square, and an HE value of 7, and they are treated as if they were ICM's. Anti-tank Cluster Bombs also have the burst area of an 8" square, and an HE value of 4 against personnel stands, but they are not treated as ICM's. Against vehicles, the antitank cluster bombs have a hit probability of 8 and a damage factor of x4. The flank armor value of the target is used to determine the Armor Value for all attacks by AP cluster bombs. Guided (Smart) Bombs These weapons are usually used against highly valued stationary targets and are controlled by TV remote command guidance or they are guided by laser beams to their intended objectives. Their chance of hitting is a 9, but the effect of the weapon is limited to a 1/2" square with an attack value Of 9. Aircraft Note: All US, UK, and West German aircraft capable of firing AIM 9L Sidewinder are also capable of firing AGM-9 Sidearm, making the "ARM capable." I must thank you for sending me the information I requested. I was impressed with the way it was presented in the Command Post issue. As a game I have no problems with the game Combined Arms. But as a military pilot (NAVY!) I have some problems with the data sheets in the back of the book. Besides the omission of Naval Aviation (Mr. Chadwick, will all due respect, should be shot!) some of the other information is wrong. The next page is as much of a change in information that I personally could acquire due to my limited knowledge of most European helicopters/helicopters/armor.
