Might we see ICM artillery rounds in SFII in a future engine upgrade?

Maybe no one knows as it''s no even been discussed yet.  As for Black Sea does either Russia or the US or Ukraine still use them?

The US still uses them occasionally, but much less often than they did until the 90s. During the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the use of ICM and regular cluster bombs (not SFWs) was already heavily restricted because using them essentially means that you're creating a minefield of duds that you have to clear later and can't safely advance through.

Development work on SF2 is finished so you will not see any new content. In any event, Cluster munitions had been banned by many countries in 2008 and were no longer used by NATO armed forces.

As for Black Sea, appparently both Russia and Ukraine still use them. No idea if they will show up in a future module though.

Others have suggested we might still see Engine upgrades for SF2 which is where I would think such a feature would fall. Also the treaty came out in late 2008 just a few months after our pretend war, though I can see the US/UK/NATO deciding not to use them anyway. Guess we'll have to wait and see. The US still hasn't signed the treaty, though MikeyD mentioned the US abides by it except at the DMZ in Korea.
