as suspected by user 3579663494, the Strike Tutorial #1 instruction does not reflect anymore the current best practice, as in 1328.14, see Strike Tutorial #1 Can't Strafe - Matrix Games Forums
Specifically, the action Strike 3 Update states:
Strike 3 Update
While players actually have, as hinted by the action "Strike 2 Target update", modify the doctrine first.So your attack order gave the pilot two targets, and he followed his Weapons Release Authority (WRA) and released both CBUs on one tank troop, which has a ‘Missile Defence estimate’ of 4 (see DB). So once you watch the cool CBU graphics destroy one of the tank units, you are left with one tank unit alive and well. Time to strafe him.
· Select the aircraft Strike #3
· Hit the ‘U’ key. He was in an RTB state so you have just unassigned him from that order
· Hit ‘Shift+F1’ and select the remaining tank unit
I would suggest modifying the instructions along the lines of, eg.:
· Hit the ‘U’ key. He was in an RTB state so you have just unassigned him from that order[/quote]· Select the aircraft Strike #3
· Hit ‘CTRL + F9’ and set the Weapon State RTB doctrine, in the right column, ‘No, aircraft do not RTB when weapon state is reached’
