The CAGM-6 is a Cluster Air-to-Ground Missile available to the AV-42C and the F/A-26B. It releases 6 smaller missiles [sub-munitions] once close to the initial target point. These missiles act like smaller independently homing AGMs. Players can only aim the cluster missile, not the sub munitions. The sub munitions deploy 2.2 kilometers away from the target and will find targets inside of a 1 kilometer cone. Aiming and deployment of the CAGM is done similarly to the AGM-65.
Like the CBU-97, players should allow adequate time for the weapon to disperse. It is possible for the cluster missile to disperse the sub-munitions immediately upon launching. However, the submunitions may not have enough time to find and navigate to their targets.
It is typically useful against groups of hostiles in close formation, such as convoys and smaller enemy bases.
