Are JDAMs just completely useless?

Unless I’m missing something, JDAMs seem completely useless as far as guided bombs go. Why would anyone ever take them over, say, a Paveway which can track moving targets?

the TGP 20 km’s limit

So, you basically can just yeet them really far?

There are some cases, in Ground RB AAs mostly remain in a single place and means that JDAMs are quite effective. Also means that you can drop them and avoid maintaining a lock, quite useful if you have multiple AAs up. Ofc you also have TV guided stuff but it costs more SP to spawn.

yes. The maximum designated target point is 20 km’s max for every weapon. For some reason

They’re just guided bombs that can’t track moving targets. Basically dumb bombs that go further and are more precise, they’re also to my knowledge cheaper spawn point-wise, and you can carry a lot of them depending on the type.
