Ability to attack static objects on CAS

[Gunfreak]

In DCS CAS isn't just Close air support. But the general default air to ground mode. It's the most useful most of the time.

But many times I've wanted a flight to attack both ground units like trucks AAA etc and also attack static objects like a bunker or especially static aircraft. 

Would it be possible to add static units to targets in CAS mode?

+1, the task in its current form is somewhat of a misnomer, it's the de facto task when you want to destroy ground units as placed in the mission editor (regardless of the close proximity, or even presence of friendly forces, which is what makes CAS, CAS in the first place) as opposed to a fixed point on the ground with the ground attack task.

Ideally, ground attack and CAS would be combined into a single strike task with options to attack groups or to bomb points on the ground. CAS would instead be dedicated to actual CAS.

Pinpoint strike can also go as it's redundant, there's nothing you can do with pinpoint task that you can't do with ground attack, just that the former excludes unguided munitions, whereas the latter supports both unguided and guided weapons.

This is a subset of this issue:

Scripting already allows us to bypass the ME limitations so removing them from the ME entirely shouldn't be difficult, barring the most twisted spaghetti code. The AI task setting should be an organization guide only and not include hard limitations. Those should be handled through other means like target settings in enroute tasks, or options like disable the attack of air targets, etc.
