I just want to drop this to let the devs know:

The reconnaissance was very boring in the original games. The automated mission generation didn't work properly. I'd like to suggest this instead:

A folder with target category priorities (rank) and desired maximum age of photos (in days).
The recce flight would be sent one or two days before the photos expire to make (almost) sure you get a photo in time to keep your photos fresh as you want it.

would be interesting, but really, would need to be started from a clean slate

best we can do is try and improve what we got, then to try and add something completely new

The please tune the mission generation. It was terrible.

How about this: I select a target category (as usual) and range (as usual) and the algorithm REALLY generates one recce mission per target.
No exceptions.
And this should work until no ready recce planes are left - something that didn't work in the original games as well.

well

I went to set bombers

set the range to 550

and click on plot recon for AFAC until it told me no, then told it to recon EFAC and did the same

I Generated 29 missions, went to the unit page, I got 29 ready Aircraft for the VIIIth Recon

so it used what it had

(normally, you use, BC and 2nd Tac to grap all of there Recon to help out)

what we got now, is a Recon mission will take up to 5 snaps during the mission, target and anything it passes close to after ward

I did have to click about 4 times for the AFAC to get all the missions up, EFAC was only twice
