Should cruise missiles be considered aircraft for kills?

It could easily be considered one just like the scouting drone in GRB.
It makes sense: by definition it’s an aircraft and in real life combat (such as the V-1s in WW2 or the countless in the Ukraine war) it’s counted as an air to air kill.

I get it, it would maybe be unfair to give the SPAA a full reward like a jet, but could it give around 70% of the full rewards?

No. But they should provide more SP considering the fact that I am using a limited supply of interceptors against someone who can just keep landing and spamming the same loadout infinitely.

There arent cruise misiles in-game currently (such as Storm Shadow or Taurus or Tomahawk)

so I assume you mean AGMs like Maverick?

I do think there should be some reward from these, Id probably balance it to be similar ish to a recon drone, not a lot, but better than nothing.

There is a cruise missile in-game. It’s on the Venezuelan Su-30

I forgot about KH-59

Cruise missiles aren’t aircraft
They’re munitions

So they shouldn’t give the same rewards as air kills

They should however, improve rewards for intercepting munitions anyways, you get next to nothing for doing it which sucks a lot for SPAAs considering how many of their missiles can get used up for just 500rp
