Are you using airstrikes like bombers?
You said target area,did you have a target? or just a area that you wanted the airstrike to attack? |
I said "target area" because the target was tanks moving up a road. Given the delay between when the airstrike was requested and it arrived I took a calculated guess where along the road the tanks would be when the airstrike arrived.
While there was no tank in the designated target hex (as I recall) there was a full company within 5-10 hexes of it.

Personally I ALWAYS pick entry/exit zones for aircraft. A bit of care here can save you a lot of anguish with mistargeting.
And as imp said, look at the weapon loadouts to see what sort of ordinence aircraft carry.
