Air Farce Follies - Friendly Fire Isn't
Thought I'd start a thread were folks can share and laugh at some of the more outlandish friendly aircraft mistargeting incidents that happen in WinSPMBT.
Situation
UK & Denmark defend VS Poland, 1985
Infantry scout spotting because it had a clear veiw of tanks on a road in the target area.
Aircraft flight path does not enter or exit the target area over the spotter.
Aircraft veers 750m (15 hexes) from the target area and hits the spotter and his jeep that has not moved or fired in two turns and are in a woodline, destroying the jeep and scout.
Situation
USMC meeting engagement VS China, 1016
High tech FO spotting no line-of-sight to target area.
Aircraft flight path enters target area from behind (the enemy map side) and exits off the map side crossing over a handful of friendly infantry and APC's.
Aircraft veers 1200m (24 hexes) from target and destroys a friendly Avenger HMMWV that has not fired but did recently move. The aircraft was not a SEAD flight but a regular airstrike.
