In our game, the playability of fixed and rotate aircraft could use some tweaking. I offer the following observations while developing my latest scenario:

I designated a 82mm mortar to a Harrier, selected a 250 lb SDB for the mission. A turn later the Harrier targeted a fortified House 700m away from the designated target.

That should not happen. The Harrier should have fired on the mortar not the fortified house.

I had a Warthog approach over a Taliban squad, it expended it's stores on the squad and did not attack it's assigned target, a 82mm mortar. I would have the Warthog use cannon or guns on the Taliban squad (target of opportunity), but it should have attacked it's designated target too, completing it's mission with remaining rockets and bombs.

I switched from COIN to fighter bomber with similar results. I increased visibility from 22 to 70, similar result on the first sortie. On the second sortie the Harrier and Warthog knocked out their targets.

I would expect the Harrier or Warthog with vision settings at 40 to successfully fire on the designated target regardless of visibility at 22 or 70.

These observations I offer to assist in the understanding of what the game is doing and how player expectations may differ.
