English chat macro incorrect in ARB

Using the chat command (T-4-7) now says “assaulting [player name]”
“Assaulting” is incorrect English “Attacking” is correct
To expand ; you assault a position or fortification etc. (collective noun)
You attack a plane or individual (noun)

Assault also works.

“attacking” is used more often in this context but both are correct.

In what way would it be incorrect to “assault” an aircraft?
