I'm still trying to grasp the intricacies of the game, but I get lucky sometimes. Early on you get your PI PT squadrons commanded by very aggressive leaders, and try to base them forward of Manila where there is fuel. I have had some incredible results in casualties to ships of the landing force ...

<t> I'm sure I'm missing something but I'm having incredible problems with aircraft diverting to refueling instead of RTB.
