Imagine taking 4 or 5 JU-87's, assigning them to op-fire, and then hearing your opponent moan about how one of his HQ's got taken out by an airstrike when he moved it. Or even better the satisfaction of finding that a column of T-34's rushing to meet your breakthrough was wrecked on the roads by air interdiction. 
I actually like this idea; there would have to be a time limit for this though, say 1-3 turns of availability after being set, after which (if no targets were spotted) the airstrike would be recalled, and lost. It's also well within the scope of the game. From a historical standpoint, I've not researched this, but I get the impression that use of airpower for battlefield interdiction was far more common during the war than coordinated close air support. Any thoughts?
