That and the fact that the F-102 had no air to ground capability, making it quite useless in bombing.

Evidently you have not heard of "Operation Stove Pipe", where F-102s did fire 2.75 inch rockets and AIM-4Cs' and Ds' into enemy encampents. One sortie was particulary effective when the pilot of one F-102 shot at what he thought was an enemy encampment, it turned out to be an NVA
munitions dump. He fired his AIM-4Cs' into it and it sparked off secondary explosions which continued on there for two days totally destroying it.
