Any reason why recon won't work on Battan base in the Philippines?

I don't think that it is related to certain bases. It seems (it's a unconfirmed theory till now) that recon plane squadrons do not fly against bases that have heavy CAP (or just a high "air strength" value?) until they've reached a certain amount of average experience (seems not to be morale related). These groups seem to fly before (look at their fatigue) but do not take recon photos of the base they were ordered to fly.

Dont think so. I my PBEM(I play for Japanese) game I continued to recon Battan(28 enemy units there and no a/c) for like 1month but I didnt get any info except for number of units in the hex. Looks like a bug for me.

There is no enemy cap at the Battan base, I'm using Recon aircraft and Recon does not work at this base!! Recon aircraft fly with bombers and without. I simply want to know the number of troops before I attack this base. I've looked at the data in database with different editors and don't see any anything. There is something real funky with certian bases (ownership, recon, enemy airgroups showing up, etc, etc.). It sometimes seems there is one set of data in the database and another set buried somewhere in the code for bases.
