I think a good idea would be the addition of some perked weapons.
some of the heavier bombs and such that would/should also be absorbed into the ENY system.
Among those should be this
HS293 (http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/cosford/collections/missiles/missile_info.cfm?missile_id=10)

"The HS293 became operational at Cognac, France, in the summer of 1943. On 27 August HMS Egret became the first casualty in history to be sunk by an Air-to-Surface Missile (ASM). Many vessels were subsequently sunk by the HS293, including 4 British destroyers. Flares were added to the missile to assist the operator during both day and night engagements. At least 2,300 of these missiles were fired in anger."
With at least 2,300 used it cant be said it wasnt used much.
Certainly a stronger case for this then an A-bomb

I like the idea. It was suggested before with no reply from the company.
The U.S. had a similar weapon called the Bat Missile. Fired from B24s and F4Us, the missile was radar guided and was used late in the war in the Pacific.

Make it cost BIG to use such a weapon.
