	The '''Harrier''' pattern. The <tt>[[Fighter]]</tt> tag is what makes the difference between ''Outcome 3'' and this. The aircraft will approach its target and, unlike #3, will NOT hover/stop when in range, but rather fire its weapon, then continue on its flight path (strafing run). Contrary to what the <tt>[[Fighter]]</tt> article tells us, the weapon's <tt>[[ROF]]</tt> will NOT be ignored; it actually serves a unique purpose in this setup: it determines how long the aircraft will continue on its flight path after firing its weapon. As soon as the <tt>ROF</tt> allows for the next shot to be fired, the aircraft will turn around and commence its next strafing run. The aircraft will continue this pattern until it runs out of ammo and one use of its weapon equals a reduction of its ammo by one. The ammo will be reduced at the end of each strafing run, not at the time of firing the weapon. In other words, the weapon is fired only once per strafing run. The weapon's <tt>[[Burst]]</tt> will be ignored. As for <tt>SlowdownDistance</tt>, the aircraft will not consider slowdown while on an attack mission.		The '''Harrier''' pattern.

	The aircraft will be locked on its flight path until it aborts its attack or depletes one unit of ammo.

The weapon's ROF will NOT be ignored; in case the aircraft moves further away from its target than the weapon's Range, the weapon will still fire (regardless of facing, even if the weapon is not [[OmniFire\|omnifiring]]) and the projectile will drop to the ground underneath the aircraft.

			* Because the projectiles of this setup do not home into their target, it is actually possible for an aircraft with this setup to never hit its intended target: if the rate of fire is sufficiently low or the weapon's range sufficiently high, it can happen that the aircraft will expend all five shots ''before'' it actually flies over its intended target.

The '''Generic Bomber''' pattern, seen in TS on the ORCA Bomber and unused in RA2. The aircraft will start firing as soon as the target gets within weapon range and the projectiles will drop down underneath the aircraft without actually hitting the intended target until the aircraft is actually above it. The weapon is hard-coded to be fired five times at its target per unit of <tt>[[Ammo]]</tt> it carries, unless the target is destroyed before, or it is ordered to abort its attack (by assigning it a new command) in which case it will also stop firing, but the ammunition will be reduced as if it fired the full five shots.
