Mike, I'm hoping that I didn't explain myself correctly before my request is dismissed. My intent is not to let planes run out of fuel, of course, and I would hopefully always have a chance to let my planes refuel. However, the scenario I think of is a plane that has been on a AAW patrol protecting an HVT for a while. Suddenly contacts appear and the plane heads towards them. Suddenly, the plane is bingo fuel. However, the air commander knows that, so he's already put a tanker in the air to meet the plane on the way back home. Now, under the current programming, my plane goes RTB, ignoring the contacts which are now closing behind him. He can't even turn around to shoot his missiles. He ignores all commands and goes RTB, leaving the HVT helpless. I accept the programming of this stuff might be a pain, so if you say it won't be done I'll leave it, of course. But ideally, the planes should be told to ignore e bingo fuel and RTB order and prosecute the contact. Then, turn and refuel. I hope I've been clearer. Happy with whatever you think, but it would be good to hear from others. Thanks again for a great game! Jorge
