The target decision is based on priority by class and also nearness to the "impact" hex, random factors etc.

Thank you Andy.
It helps a lot to know FOOs have no effect on target selection. And explains why aircraft will sometimes ignore what your FOOs can actually see and wants blown up for some other target in the general vicinity.
