You not the AI have the luxury of turning them off so they are not wasted assuming of course you survive for another pass.
It did not attack infantry by mistake it attacked them because it was a better target for the payload.

None of the above, naturally.

Planes can now strafe 30 degrees off-axis - have done for the last two releases or so.

Cannon and rockets can therefore be fired at something the bombs don't line up to - the plane can then fly on a bit and bomb if a valid target is directly in line of flight.

The Ai does not "reserve" any weapons.
