It looks like the IL-10 AI can't use PTAB 2.5 bombs. They keep circling the target but never drop the bombs or try to use their guns. This happens on quick mission and on the Sturmoviks over Manchuria campaign.

Is this a bug? In the quick mission on the Solomons with the target set to armor(on Stirling island), most of the armor drives on a road entirely overgrown with trees. I just figured it was supposed to be a road through the forest/jungle.

There is no way to make bombers like A-20, B-25 (that have nose guns) perform level bombing, as they always begin to strafe ground targets.
Sample mission is in attachment.
Could you fix this, DT, thanks!

The A 20 and B 25 versions with guns in the nose are pure ground attack aircraft, they have no bombardier, hence they won't, and should not, level bomb.

I don't know... the A-20G even without a bombardier worked with glass nosed A-20Js in mixed formations for level bombing. The A-20C has nose guns but does have a bombing station as does the B-25J which could perform as either.

The suggestion I made years ago is to add an options dialogue/AI switch to the GATTACK waypoints where you can specify the type of attack you want. This could go into more detail like telling IL-2s to perform the "wheel of death" or tell Corsairs to make a "one and done" all out bombs and rocket attack or convince the Ju88s to use either a level bomb, straight down dive bomb, or angled (Stuvi-assisted) attack.

Probably easier to conceptualize than it is to build in the AI routines.

Don't think it's a bug... it looks intentional. There are also some marshy areas with water and jungle overlapped.

Trees have been across the roads even as far back as the Slovakia maps.
Unlike aircraft, vehicles have no trouble passing through the Oleg trees.

Another small bug report - no markings visible on Wellington bombers - at least British markings in the QMB.

That's my point and I remember in old version I could choose strafing type of attack by assigning a stationary ground target for GATTACK waypoint or I could choose level bombing by simply placing a GATTACK waypoint over the targeted area but without a specific ground target assigned.
Such option is not available now, could it be brought back?

I also think that it would be helpful if mission builders where able to set attack routine for dive bombers like Stuka and Val - either just drop bombs and head for home or drop bombs and then strafe ground targets with guns.
