air strikes
anyone have similar problems that air strikes are getting their own ideas where they should fly ?
i ordered 4 sead strikes and 6 normal air strikes and 2 of the sead's went different route i ordered them to (different exit route flied over the map not exited when i ordered to)
i personally like it that units do what i order them to
would in real war that be fatal also that units are not doing what they are told to ?

Probably, but would in real war "units" do something they would consider suicidal?
But yeah, I've noticed the same thing, sometimes the planes seem to completely ignore the approach and exit vectors given to them. I've always written it off as fog of war.

Re: air strikes
Never had that problem. Here's why I think your having trouble.
For some reason you MUST set the approach and exit area's before you give the aim point.

Re: air strikes
that's how i do it
(first the enter + exit point then the strike)
(no problems in entering but sometimes it flyis just straight ahead not turning back like i ordered)

Aircraft that decide to do an attack off the planned axis, or that randomly spray an area due to not finding a target will sometimes also fly straight off. damaged planes will sometimes simply continue straight ahead as well.
Planes are not under your full control. They are not meant to be.

Re: air strikes
Unless my logic fails me, in real life the approach and exit trajectory would depend primarily on pilot - picking for example angle from which the target is least obscured etc. Remember: Level bombers supporting the Cobra breajout were supposed to come in parallelly to Allied lines. Yet in the end they came perpendicullarly and caused massive destruction and disruption in US lines.

Re: air strikes
You can blame Leigh-Mallory for that particular fiasco. He was responsible
for changing the routes.

Re: air strikes
But that's the point - final control over aircraft approaches is held by the flyboys, not by observers on the ground. So a little bit of randomness encountered in SP is quite realistic.

Re: air strikes
Not only airstrikes, level bomber and ground attack seem to do this, Gliders and cargo(para transport) aircraft also do this I think, i remember once i had an engineer platoon jumping about 2miles from the rest of the company x(
