firstly welcome to CA
the main point to understand is , this game ( strike fighters 2 ) is a light simulation!
as i read your post i understand that you are trying to do a strike mission but you dont know how to hit the primary target
strike mission in sf2 is about to hit E and then "\" and then ENTER to release the iron , thats it mission complete GJ RTB!
start a single mission
- have your ride ( your jet )
- chose a map ( in case if you have the whole series merged install )
- chose a mission type ( strike )
- loadout your jet
-fly
while you are in the air press E key to have a red box indicating your target location
after pressing E key you will notice a black faded box on the right down corner and that box showing the target location and type and heading and the range ... ETC
and also a red small box on the ground and thats the target locked and ready to be destroyed
now , flight across the target at 13000ft on 1.0 mach speed and have an eye on the range between you and the target also watch your RWR for any SAMs threat , when you 9 miles far from target reduce your speed and press S key in case your speed above 1.0 mach
press "\" key to load the bomb and lets say that bomb is GBU-30 JDAM then press F1 to toggle the cockpit view , nose your jet down to the target ... then at 10000ft and 450 kts hit ENTER key
after having your bomb released preform escaping or cover by pressing X key triple times at least and at the same time preform a right or left turn
and case of using a TV guided bomb or missile such as mavricks or gbu-15 just reach a distance under 10 miles from the target and adjust your nose to target then hit ENTER key to release , and thy are capable to hit mobile targets and multiple targets and no need for LTP ( leaser targeting pod )
in case of using bombs such as GBU 10&12&24&22&28 you must have targeting pod loaded on board because those bombs cannot be release without the targeting pod for riding the leaser beam to hit their targets and thy are capable to hit mobile targets but cant hit multiple targets
in case of using JDAMS such as GBU 30&31&32&38 just have a range under 12 and nose on target and a medium speed then release , and those bombs can hit multiple targets and cant hit mobile targets , no need for LTP ( leaser targeting pod ) because they are GPS guided bombs
i advice you to play on easy settings till you have everything clear
good luck
