Thanks, that is pretty much what I do too.
But what sort of %s you use in Air Doctrine?
Not played it often enough to experiment with anything other than Percent required to fly and Ground support escort. I've turned them down to 30 and 80 respectively. but I've not analysed the impact, just seemed right.
Recon escort is off. If you manually do your recon then you can select escorts anyway.
Ground support is on. Others turn this on and off in order to control a/c mission sequences. E.g If it's on and they attack with ground unit the a/c might carry out ground support mission preventing tem form other air mission. I prefer to carry out the other missons first by Front Air Armies, ground support is still available.
