| Description | IRL, the Al-Tariq is a gliding PGM (Precision Guided Munition), able to be guided using GPS/INS, laser, and IR image computing. In these regards, it can be compared to the Israeli SPICE bomb, or the French AASM - minus the propulsion.
In BMS, while we don't have all of the fancy image-treatment algorithms they do, we do however have GPS/INS + laser guided weapons, like the GBU-54. We could then expect BMS to make it act like a GBU-54, but with longer range due to its gliding abilities.
However, when I was testing it with the Mirage 2000-9, it showed up in the SMS as a GBU-12. Thus, it was not capable of GPS tracking, had no range difference, and didn't hit the target unless a laser was on it. This was confirmed by live-fire tests. |

| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Take any plane capable of carrying the Al-Tariq bomb.
2. When in the air, go to A/G mastermode, and look at the SMS. The Al-Tariq will show up as "G12".
3. A live fire test will confirm that the Al-Tariq indeed acts like a GBU-12, and not like the more modern, long-range, GPS/INS/laser guided munition it should be. |
