How about introducing engagement arcs?
These would function in the same way as search arcs but would determine in what area your bombers would engage targets.
That would be a good way to keep your bombers out of fighter-infested areas.
There should probably be the possibility to set a 'minimum distance' engagement ring where your bombers would engage all targets in all 360 degrees, but beyond which only targets in the assigned engagement arc would be attacked.

I find it very unrealistic (and irritating

) that I have no way of telling my bombers NOT to attack ships in heavily defended base-hexes.
There should be a way to keep them from doing this, other than cutting down the range.

I guess a "No naval attacks in base hexes" button or even better: "No naval attacks within X hexes of a base" would also work (and might be easier to do), but I just looove arcs, so...

Hmmm. At first I was inclined to think you have had too much happy water, but now think that you might have a good idea. So, I must have had too much happy water, too.

No happy water - just happy

.

I seriously think it would be great with such a feature.
Would make the air war more tactical (= fun!) and feel much more realistic.
