I can't help but wonder if these are actually effective in any form, or are they more a psychological aid.

Isn't that why snipers like to take one shot and then move? I couldn't believe he still stood there, even after making a huge beacon of a plaster dust cloud. Wonder if he even hit his target?

An actual sniper would make the hole lower, and sit further back in the room.

He was also taking a lot of two-shot bursts, which means he was using full-auto setting and trying to keep to single shots with trigger control, which is rather odd.

There main issue it their Hip transport helicopter fleet being slowly worn down, as the opposition are using siege tactics on isolated military bases, and without regular supplies being brought in by helicopter these bases are hosed. I'd estimate around 25%-50% of their transport helicopter fleet is gone, and as there's probably no more than 120 in total every single one counts. Now the opposition has a lot of AA guns and MANPADS, so landing at these bases is extremely risky for pilots.

Forget the AR of Very Poor Decisions, this would be huge.

And I'm sure I could conceive of a scenario where the Air Wing would have to utilize JDAMs against a surface target, but there's a reason they train with Harpoons, and there's a reason why the SSN is the Navy's primary ASuW weapon.

Not really. Any aircraft within gravity bomb range is also within anti-aircraft missile range. No way a buff would get that close to a warship in an actual combat situation. I'm with iyaayas.
