Default Re: Air Farce Follies - Friendly Fire Isn't

Check the first post in this thread.

My observer (a scout not a "real" FO) had a clear line-of-sight down a road at the target area and my aircraft veered 15 hexes from the target hex and hit my observer.

I have no clue how the probability of a mis-targeted airstrike is calculated, and that instance was a VERY non-typical mis-target, but somewhere in the zillions of random calculations the possibility of such an absurd result exists. While I was, of course, less then happy with it at the time that sort of one-in-a-million result is one of the things that keeps WinSPMBT interesting.

While you can accurately predict the AI will do a lemming charge you can't always be sure where, when, or with what.
