First: I know the game very well and this is 100% a BUG!!!
When I fly to a point on the map, and set my patrol at the edge of the range limit, it sets, and i then reset the patrol to group the planes 5 sets of 10 planes (5tac/5interceptors). Then i reset the patrol again and again until all my planes are in a tight formation. ( these planes are all on the same PIE of patrol range). I,e before i leave i group them one side of the airport then group them all on the other side. Same pie.
After i set the planes in a tight formation I then set the patrol. I set the patrol and i might move it about a few times until i am happy with where they are patrolling.
The BUG lately is that the planes just suddenly decide to return to the Fricken airport. For no reason. I understand the many myriad reason why this happens but this BUG!!! is not for any of those reason. It is 100% a bug.
No matter how i try to reset the patrol they refuse to patrol and have to return to the airport.
I have been playing this game for as long as you and know all the little tips and techniques and why palnes on different ranges might try return to airport if they overlap that range that other planes are comfortable on etc or, if you go outside the main range limit. It is none of those reasons.It is a new BUG that came after the change was made to the Planes attack power.
