I'm playing the scenario Kitty comes to Kamchatka, and I'm trying to launch a major strike against the Soviet airbase and air defense net. I's a big strike, with over 100 total aircraft from three different bases involved. The issue I'm having is with the 24 A-6's coming from Adak. It's about 900 miles from Adak to the targets, so I flew them about 600 miles, manually tanked them and then assigned them to the land strike mission. I left the tankers in the air about 300 miles away from the target area with plenty of fuel to top off the A-6's on their way back to Adak (I tanked the entire strike mission at the same time, and my six tankers are still 3/4 full. Fuel is not an issue here).
As soon as I assigned the A-6's to the strike mission, I got an error message saying that the four groups from Adak might not have enough fuel to complete the mission. Their groups broke up and they all went RTB (bingo). In the strike planner I specified using tankers to extend range if available. There has got to be a way to get the strike planner to see those tankers as mission assets, I'm just not sure what it is.
If I really had to, there are work arounds. There is a base within 400 miles of the targets, so I could just reassign the A-6's to that base, have them land, and use the scenario editor to fast ready them in an hour to simulate refueling. I could also manually carry out the strike, assigning flight paths and targets manually, but that would be a huge pain in the butt. Also, I know you guys put a lot of work into the strike planner and I kind of want to see how it works.
I have a save if it would help, but I suspect this is more an issue of user ignorance than bugs.
Help?
