The "remain on station" order does not, ipso facto, prevent a reaction from occurring. None the less, a Surface Combat TF with the remain on station order should not be given a reaction range because should it actually react, that action resets the remain on station order to return to home port. The other possible orders, such as "follow" or "patrol are not similarly reset after the reaction.
Just because enemy TFs have a sufficiently high enough MDL for their icon to positioned on the map, does not mean that a reaction should have occurred. There are many factors taken into account before a reaction might result, such as
- leader stats
- the on the spot TF commander does not necessarily have the same intel as does the player subsequently
- relative speed of the TFs
- relative strengths of the TFs
- damage, ammo and fuel status of the TF
- strength of enemy air
- TFs won't react if it entails moving into a known enemy minefield
Submarine and carrier TFs operate under similar considerations except that carrier TF also take into account embarked aircraft and sortie status.
As can be seen, there are many factors which can prevent a Surface Combat TF from reacting.
