Use of air power

[secretgeek]

Hello everyone from a noob to the forum.

I've been playing an USA vs Iraq scenarion and noticed what i'd call unusual behaviour from my A-10s. I'm hoping whether someone can tell me if it's just a game querk or whether I'm just doing something wrong (probably the latter).

My A-10's are loaded with 4xcluster bombs and 4x500lb's. I'll target a hex as normal and the A10 will do it's run. When it reaches the target it then proceeds to drop the cluster bombs in a line as expected but then it continues on to drop the 4x500lb so the total bombing run is 8 hexes long!

If I want to hit a target with the iron bombs do i really have to place my target 4+ hexes to the side of my actual target? And do I have to use my cluster ammo as well?

Help please!

Thanks in advance.
