[RetLT]

I have noticed that when an aircraft fires direct fire at a target not directly ahead it will continue straight rather than following its exit orders. This often causes the strike aircraft to venture into high AAA areas that it was given orders to avoid.

For example, an SU-25 is ordered to enter from 7 o'clock and exit at 5 o'clock. It fires at a target off to the side of its path and continues straight to exit at 2 o'clock.

Is this intended? I can see a pilot targeting a target of opportunity but I don't see why he would not follow his egress orders especially since the reason for the ordered turn is to avoid AAA fire.

This happens in MBT and WW2
