Unable to "fire" energy weapons during Strafe. #1072

Environment

Megamek 0.44.0 MacOS 10.13.5 Java 8 Update 171

Description

After setting up a Strafing run with Slayer SL-15 from Altitude 3 with Velocity 2 (attached), I'm able to select the hexes to strafe, but am unable to use "fire" button for the energy weapons to actually initiate the strafe. I'm wondering if this has something to do with planetary conditions (pitch black)?

Yeah, it seems that the ground hexes are "outside of visual and sensor range" (which you can verify by selecting one of the hexes under your unit's flight path for a standard strike attack), whereas the units are not. The hexes being out of view prevents the strafe attack from happening. We'll have to investigate further to see what actually needs to be happening.
