Dumb bombs, not inertial guidance. Inertial guidance is a gyidance package in guided missiles like the HARM, AMRAAM and DAGR that keep them on the same heading they were foing when they lost their lock.
The front cone of the bomb is merely the fuze mechanism. JDAMs have special fin kits.
In the case of the B-52, it appears to have been dropping a payload of Mark 82 iron bombs, which have no guidance mechanisms at all. Hence the carpet bombing.
That said the sim was never to be about practicality - Lehm had Lutz with him and between the two of them they could have sniped Hex by themselves. Instead he's the guy calling in the airstrike. It's a fuck you signal to Hex and a warning to the CIA - do not fuck with Koko Hekmatyr.
That said, if R hadn't died I don't think thingsmcould have gone on. Even if Koko never told, the others woulda slowly cottonedmon, particularly Tojo. So it's probably for the best that he died fighting, and so has the respect of his peers.
