Air Farce Follies - Friendly Fire Isn't

To ALL,
Speaking of air strikes you should pick the air entry and exit zone just like an air drop or observation mission...right? Also how can you tell which aircraft(besides helos) have stand off attack capability? I don't use planes much just inquiring......

It's different for each.
SAC bombers will come in on the entry line and will try to bomb along in a "straight line" the sector to the orders they were given.
It's a wide swath of accuracy but you can be sure any units in or close to the bomb zone will be effected.

Close ground air support will attack anything they see in their vector, radar can't tell a friendly from a tango on the ground.
So bad calls arn't their fault.
One thing about this game some may forget.
The Army "Does not" command the Air Force or the Navy.

Same as any unit look at the weapon loadout it carries
