marc420 -> Fighter pilots out for joy-rides (1/24/2003 1:29:10 PM)

I've seen something odd happen a couple of times in the turn resolution.
I'm playing the IJN in Scn 19. On a couple of occasions, to rest a Zero squadron I've reduced the CAP % down to like 20. The mission is set to Escort.
During the turn resolution, I suddenly see the Zero's fly over to an enemy base like PM. It looks like a bombing raid. But nothing actually happens in terms of combat reports.
The next turn, after I say WTF, I go and check the squadron. First I check to make sure I really had it on Escort instead of Sweep, and it is on Escort.
And this time I looked at the Fatique, and its down to 13, so the squadron doesn't seem to be any worse for wear. So I guess this isn't more than an annoying oddity.
I suppose it means my fighter pilots are now rested, and with CAP% low for the turn, they are bored with nothing to do. So they head out for an unauthorized joy-ride in their planes.
This is disconcerting to high command, so we are looking to see if other Admirals are seeing the same thing, and also what we can do to stop it.
Our current plan is to expand the officer's club on Shortland Island, and make sure there are at least three available ladies for each pilot. Maybe that will give them something to do on the R&R days besides taking our planes for a joy-ride. :)
