Question About Strike Aircraft with PGM's
(unlimited ammo mode)
Why do they sometimes dive in and strafe with guns?
I understand that they may not be getting a lock-on, even on visible (to me and/or the spotter) targets, but it doesn't make much sense to me to be risking a multi-bazillion dollar F-22 carrying JDAMs in a high risk SAM/AAA environment just for a couple of quick squirts of 20mm on a concrete bunker.
Is there a way to force those aircraft to simply skip the strike call if they don't get a lock-on (IE: Go around and make another pass on the next turn)?
Turning off the guns doesn't seem to make a difference, the aircraft will still dive in, only it won't fire its guns.
