Will we be informed if a mission was aborted due to weather or other things - so we're not just left wondering why on earth those damn B17s didn't do what they were told?
Sometimes....but you may have to pay attention or actually read reports.

also, there's still visual ques in the form of the "rainy hex" graphic on the map.

Yeah, but those visual cues don't show up when planning a strike (I'd need to see storm clouds + wind direction to guess whether the planes will hit the hex during a storm). I think there needs to be either 1) a rule that air strikes abort given X, Y, Z weather conditions, or (logical "or") 2) a way to pre-set all air strikes such that WHEN such weather conditions are in a target hex, planes will abort (unless you throw a flag and let them attack duing storms but not during severe storms). Implicitly, knowing the consequences of attacks during bad weather would help one make decisions.
Thanks for any thoughts.
