Still a basic misunderstanding of how plane abilities work in coh2.
If you are in the circle when the ability is picking a new target, it doesn't matter where you go after that.
This applies to all plane loiters in the game, and the P47 is currently the shittiest of them all because it's the only one that got a massive nerf to its radius.
The Stuka strafe and P47 have a recon run and an attack run, and this repeats 3 times during the ability (or until shot down). IF the target is in the targeting circle for the recon run, it will be attacked on the following attack run - correct? But it resets (or atleast it should!), after the first attack, once the target has moved well out of the zone, the second and third recon runs don't see it (or shouldn't) and therefore it is not attacked on those runs. With the Stuka strafe, that's how it works. But he P47 has a habit of ignoring those rules, picking a target and attacking it on all three runs, which it shouldn't. The zone is there for a reason. Once the unit has exited the zone by a decent distance, and the recon runs of the zone don't see it, it should therefore not be attacked. No misunderstanding.
I hate to disagree with you Cruzz, because your knowledge of the game is second to none! But I have the Stuka strafe in 2 of my 3 commanders on my main load out, and I use it A LOT! The Stuka works great, but the P47 does not follow the same rules. As to which one relic intends, I do not know. But after watching both, and using both excessively, they are different and there is a problem.
