I wonder whether this is an issue because no other units were attacking, and the unit is not bombarding (acting as ground support). I do not think planes can attack on their own and the rules state:

An artillery unit bombards an adjacent hex as if its printed combat factor were an aircraft’s tactical factor.

If you use an ART unit’s combat factors to bombard, its factors are not reduced to ‘1’ due to it being the only land unit in the hex.

ART units that bombard across all-sea, river, canal, fortification or straits hexsides do not halve or third their factors.

The German Artillery is alone in the hex. Attacking the Soviet unit across a river in Winter.

All other towed and motorised artillery unit have only a combat factor (before modification) of ‘1’ unless stacked with a land unit other than an artillery or notional unit (exceptions: anti-aircraft fire by AA units and bombardment by field artillery).

Everyone can miss a rule exception, there are many to miss. However, the sardonic intros to the observation - we can do without.
