This is with Build 573.

I was having some trouble playing Under African Skies. The P-8/SLAM-ER
combo would frequently miss. This is strange, since the AGM-84K
is reputed to be "fire and forget" as well as allowing "man in
the loop" guidance.

After some digging, and playing around with a toy scenario, I
see that P-8A (#2705 and #3685) in Command does not have any
provision for a AN/AAW-9/13 Missile Datalink to support
the AGM-84K.

This is not too bad, in that a Super Hornet, for example, will
carry a AN/AAW-9/13 Datalink Pod (instead of having an inherent
datalink capability) when carrying SLAM-ER.

I request that you either:

1) add a AN/AAW-9/13 Datalink Pod to the SLAM-ER loadout, or
2) add a AN/AAW-9/13 Missile Datalink to the P-8A's

whichever you feel is most appropriate.
