Default More specifically targeting missiles and bombs wanted

There are bombs for population, climate, supply bases and space ports.
What about yards and intel and research.

There are missiles for master computers, engines, weapons and shield generators.
What about bridges, cargo (oops! there goes the troops!) and cloaking devices.

Help more smart missiles are required, just don't ask the USA for them. :-)

I don't think a boomerang constitutes a "smart" weapon, so what do you suggest?

Why wouldn't you ask the USA for smart weapons? Modern smart weapons were invented here, used first by us, and oh yeah, they work like a charm.
But yes, I want more smart missiles in the game. Especially the missile that would take out a shipyard.

Actually smart weapons where a british/german concept, just like CIWS was an american rip off from Goalkeeper. But that is besides the point.

As these weapons currently exist in the game, could it be modded instead of bugging MM do provide us with such.

I want shields that block these "smart weapons", but the ability to "try" to hit specific components.

Ie. halve your accuracy, but if you hit you will nail a specific component (engine #5), unless, of course there is shields or armor in the way.

Well, I was talking about the laser guided and terrain matching weapons like laser guided bombs and cruise missiles. These were totally American inventions, and though the Germans invented the first guided weapons, they are pretty ancient, using visual, wire, and radio to communicate with the bomb. Modern, as I interpret it, is where the bomb does not need further inputs from the operator, just point and click.
