if they added them the thing would have to go up to atleast like 10.0+, and you wouldnt want that
Jdams are enough. Just so you can drop them in multiple spots without having to do new passes or trying to line ccip sight just perfectly. Plus optics will become more useful. And it wont be smth mega op considering just bit higher, at 9.3 you have small, agile (compared to b52) skyhawk with walleyes, bullpups/gbu8.
The GBUs would increase it’s ground BR to like 10.0 which is why they won’t add them. Harpoons could be added
The version we have never had any guided munitions, it’s pre-1991 fit since it has the tail gun and only carried dumb bombs and ALCM’s.
To get a B-52 with all smart munitions we’d need a separate version without a tail gun but stronger ECM (when that comes):
