Have Air Strikes been reworked?

I'm doing the Long Road Campaign. Second Scenario once you hit Normandy - Carentan. Nice big city fight. You get 6 Strike A/C - A pair each of P-38s, P-47s, and some RP Typhoons.

One of the funner scenarios of this campaign - High unit density - lots of OBA - Strike A/C. Lots and lots going on during this one.

Anyway.....Those A/C are killers. I have had around 90% success against German AFVs - No blasting my troops - They pick out the correct targets (JgPanthers vs 1/2 tracks). All in all - just kick butt and take names.

Now I'm no rookie - I know you don't target too close to your own troops - never give the flyboys even a peek at one of your AFVs during the run in. Stay away from smoke...

All in all though - They have been very accurate.

I noticed in the very first scenario of the Long Road (US vs French) - The Stukas and Do17s were killers too. I just chalked it up to bad karma.

Has anyone else noticed this? Have I just been lucky (and unlucky)?

And has anyone noticed if the entry point of planes is working properly?? I just cant seem to get my planes to strafe in the direction I would like them to

cward- make sure you call the entry and exit directions BEFORE you set your strike targets. If you're already doing this,

Actually I made that mistake, then did it the way you mentioned and the damned things keep going that right to left fashion.. I will try it again..
