I'm a little annoyed by the fact that you're not allowed to buy strike missions in some engagements.
If I set up a meeting engagement august 1942 between the Brits and the Germans in the desert with 2 airstrikes for the Brits, I get none
If I want the airstrikes, then I shouldn't be overruled by the program. I've heard something about historical accuracy etc. but this doesn't justify it at all.
I want SPW@W to provide me with exactly the equippment I want to when I want it!!
Sounds fair, doesn't it?)

Turn off rarity/true troop cost and manually adjust your settings, like air sorties. After that, you can perhaps modify the OOBs and thus change the availability of Maus from 1949 to 1947 (I did so). However - is it fun to play if you can get it all?
Also, check out the cheats/quirks post somewhere on SPWAW forums.

Well, I've not been using the rarity mode when I've tried to get airstrikes. It's not like I'm trying to get units that are not historical available either. I want Hurricane strike planes in september 1942 or Stukas to support my German assault sometime in 194*.
Not getting this is sooo annoying

Believe he is talking about purchasing strike elements, not having them arrive in the game.
You can try making the purchase points maximum, sometimes that works. Also check the OOB editor and make sure the availability dates for the particular aircraft include your scenairo date.
Are you experiencing this difficulty in the Battle Generator or the Editor - it can make a difference. If nothing else works, go to the Editor, set the date, weather, time and make sure purchase points are very high in the Preferences section: I keep the points max at 20,000 for both sides and don't have a problem with CAS purchase.
The show-no show nature of Strike Elements may have something to so with formations. One way around this problem is to open the OOB Editor, find the aircraft you want to be availalbe. No matter what the specific aircraft availability dates are, set them to 1930 to 1949. Save the revised OOB. If the aircraft STILL doesn't show up, you don't have a valid formation in existence.
Under those conditions, you will have to go back into OOB Editor and create stirke element sections via Formations. Usually they consist of two aircraft and there may be a hard coded requirement that this be observed.

I don't think you ned to modify the oob.
If you wanna air strike set wather manually to 1 (clear) in the battle generetor screen.
Also in the preferences set the number of air strike for each player.
This work for me 100%.
Ciao.
