Hey there,

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
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
While players actually have, as hinted by the action "Strike 2 Target update", modify the doctrine first.

I would suggest modifying the instructions along the lines of, eg.:

· 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’
· Hit the ‘U’ key. He was in an RTB state so you have just unassigned him from that order[/quote]
