Air support

[nukkxx5058]

When I look at air support (status/available air support) it says I have a FGS6 Hunter (bombs)
But can't find a way to have it bomb an hex (units/air attack or ctrl-k won't work).
Any idea ?
Thx

Did you highlight/select an enemy hex/unit and then clicked on the bombing mission?

Yep, i definitely highlighted the enemy target unit.
So you confirm that if there's an item in the air support dialogue, bombing an hex should always be possible ? No other parameter to take into account ?
Will be more careful next time then ...

You can call an air attack on any hex as such, but you need a LOS for it until the Airstrike arrives. Eyes on the ground... If you lose the LOS there's a good chance the Airstrike is recalled. There's a message dialog to inform if this happens, though.

Yeah I already saw this "recalled" message in previous games. Wasn't sure what it was.
But here it was different, couldn't order the attack at all. I must have done something wrong.
Will be more careful next time it occurs.

I recall Airstrikes might show as available until they arrive, even if the strike has been already called for, for that particular flight.

Ah ! This could explain !
