When you send a plane to recon an enemy base, where do you find the results of the recon mission?

Do you just click on an enemy base the next orders turn, and the results will show then?

At first you might get just a list of units (INF,ENG, AA, etc) but over time you will get troop numbers and gun numbers as well as damage to runways and airfields.

It is a very useful tool.

Don't be sorry. It's my biggest remaining b*tch (except my former mother-in-law).

Hey Batch, I see you are working hard today.

Seriously this was supposed to be in 2.0, and recon did produce spotty port results. However, haven't seen anything in port since 2.10. Something fixed then broken?

Amazingly enough. BTW, I think recon photos ought to show both ships disbanded in port and others still formed up in TFs and just "docked" (a distinction that has never made any sense to me since the first days of Pacific War).
