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.

A lot of things weren't invented by America but we sure improved on them!

Even our most advanced smart/guided weapons use a laser painter or incase of the anti tank weapons, tiny fiber optic cables to guide it inflight.

But that is besides the point, i think smart weapons can be modded, but quoting puttin "i have an inborn laziness" as in i can't find the time or stamina to mess with the SEIV txt files at the moment.
