one small technical detail, ( i think its for balance resons but anyways,) the real tomahawk missile carries 450kg of High Explosives. a detonation from one missile is enough to level an entire city block. in laymans terms, the tomahawks that you guys use are way underpowered. like i said thats probably for balance reasons, but in my mod its a superweapon that only launches one missile. however, you guys are free to mod however you like, im just giving a bit of realistic facats so ignore them if you want.

Dont worry about the spy drone stuff unless its causing the thig to screw up, i just replaced the Spydrone with the TomahawkStrike for testing, and i dont have a cameo for the Strike yet so i just use the spydrone one.

look at the tomahawk that EAP made as in the moble launched one it barly does any damage by it self so yeah it is very under powered but for very good balance reasons as they had to make all sides even they cant have "real" american weapons to GLA weapons that would end up like Iraq with a American death toll of 100 and GLA death toll of 10000 so balance is very good reason.
