Would say you are bombers target the hex or at least within 2 hexes of it paying no attention to available targets.
Others search for targets around where they are called in when they turn up, placing the strike on a tank has no relevance it does not mark that as a target so guessing where they are going & calling the strike there is the way to do it just like arty.

So call in where expect targets to be & give a decent attack run to improve chances of finding & hitting a good target. By that I mean appearing through smoke with enemy a couple of 100m away gives little time to find or attack & it may well veer off & attack something else it has seen possibly you. The old Catch 22 applies here you want your arty to fire first to suppress AAA but otherwise you want planes to go first so not finding targets in any dust thats kicked up.
