Well, I have been busy reading information on a rather informative website discussing many US missile systems, when I stumbled upon something puzzling.
http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/m-140.html
Above is the entry for the MGM-140 ATACMS. The site claims that the system is a ballistic missile system, and that it is a replacement for the MGM-52 Lance. Which is curious considering the difference between the systems in-game, with the ATACMS being treated as Close Air target and the Lance as a Mid-Air target.

This is the entry for the MGM-52 Lance. Comparing the two, both have a remarkably similar flight ceiling of around 50 km. Based on this, and that they're both considered short-range ballistic missiles, shouldn't the ATACMS also be considered a Mid-Air target?
Of course the possibility that the site is incorrect is also very possible. I do not have as much access to reliable information as Battlegoat is.
In any case, this upgrade, if made, will make the ATACMS significantly less vulnerable to many forms of AA, so a tweaking of the other statistics may also be necessary.
(EDIT: Hmm, there may be something screwy with my CSV file. The SS-N-19 Shipwreck is counted as a High-Air target, which makes it a very, very powerful anti-ship missile at its technology level.
In retrospect, this post may belong in the "balance" subforum.)

Shouldn't ATACMS be Mid-Air?
