Lots of advice! Thanks everyone.

Just fired up the same scenario and tried experimenting. Things learnt are:

Switching off weapons helps.

If the strike plane spots a valid target for it's mavericks it will do a stand off attack and miss out the bombing run altogether! Still as long as it kills something I don't mind, though in the last experiment it one A10 used 2 mavericks to kill 2 men in a Strela team (an effective use of resources?)

Looks like I'll just have to put more thought into what I want, where and when. Switching off weapons will allow me to do that.

Thanks again!
