Has the development team logged the RTB bug for fixing in the future?
I mean the situation when a unit/group gets RTB status and then you don't have any control on it anymore. They just go back to base straight the shortest route possible with default cruise speed. Manual route plotting is ignored, manual speed/alt setting ignored aswell. RTB status cannot be canceled.

RTB status cannot be canceled.

This is not always true--SOMEtimes RTB shows up under the right click menu as a "mission" that you can then cancel.

However I've noticed that this option does not always appear with all aircraft.

You can always override the RTB status of an aircraft by selecting them and pressing "U" (unassign).

Be aware though, that at that point you are _totally_ responsible for the aircraft's well being. It will not RTB due to winchester, it will not RTB because of fuel, it will not intelligently engage the enemy on its own. You are quite literally at the controls.

Ah, I think unassign is going to be my new best friend. I don't remember seeing the option in the right click unit menu, so is it only available via keyboard?

Yes. Actually that's a good suggestion (to also include it on the menu), thanks!
