I'm wanting to play with this feature more and more, and I'm curious about what flight routines a squad will adopt after failing to find a target at the artifical target site.

The manual sez it'll search for a target, but how far/long and is fuel amount remaining considered in this equation?

Once at the strike point, the planes will circle for maybe 30 mins and then head home. Same when sent to a sighting that has moved away.

A big inconsistencty I've seen it is in the ready times and times to transfer aircraft. In Coral Sea I can send every squadron from Townsville to Cooktown and on to Port Moresby within 4-5 hours! I mean they land at Cook and miraculously refuel and fly off to New guinea.

On the carrier, planes land and seem to be available to sortie straight after. This could be a bug though as I've seen many times (with time set to zero) squadrons ready to fly once I select a target but once I select one squadron, the others just fade off.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think they'll search up to 3 hexes from the sighting hex.
