What's up with precision bombing?

[FinnMcCool]

Someone put me up-to-date. I set some air units for "stealth attack" and "Stealth" and flagged on precision bombing. But they don't do anything different in-game. They just bomb libraries, kill population and stuff instead of targetting specific units. Duh.

What are the necessary conditions for an air unit to target a specific enemy unit?

AFAIK, this flag has never worked.

I won't even dignify that with a response.

Oh cripes! I did!

Well, let me just join the vast throngs of players who are hopefully planning to storm the gates in outrage at such a lapse of professionalism.

It's included in the manual. It's in the editor. Too much beer that weekend, eh guys?

Finn, you are not alone in your dismay at Firaxis' total disregard for resolving old bugs in the editor/game. Of course, I guess they must figure this close to Civ4, why should they waste their precious time fixing an old product. Plus, if they fixed and/or added anything in Civ3, they may lose money by not selling as many Civ4s if people are happy with playing Civ3. I am saddened how the game industry is more conerned about making more money than they have a use for than having a passion for games and being loyal to customers.

They might be shooting themselves in the foot if they think there won't be any negative reaction. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me..." I probably won't buy Civ4, religion included be damned...
