There's a slight difference between the potential for nightly Vulcan raids (potentially of multiple aircraft) sustained for weeks and a very painful, but highly intermittent salvo of TLAM every couple of weeks.
Likewise the other side knew the limitations of our Vulcan force and knew we couldnt put any more than 2 in the area at a given time (even that was pushing it)
A TLAM is far more accurate than a Vulcan could ever be so you wouldnt need too many warheads to achive the required outcome with little or no risk to the delivery craft
No it didn't. What it did (allegedly) force them to do, was to move their better AD aircraft north to cover BA, thereby having a valuable dilution effect on what was available to face the Task Force.
Hence it scared the living daylights out of them
