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!
killing AAA/SAM might be good if you plan subsequent strikes, and are you sure that your A/C had bombs/rockets or ammo? If it does it will proceed the run
