During Ground Strike, you can fly air units using extended range up to their doubled regular range. The program warns you about halved bombing factors. However, if you rtb the air unit flying extended after ground strike, it has only its normal, regular range to rebase. In some cases such air unit does not find any place to stack in range and will be destroyed by the program.

On the other hand, if you right click the air unit and force extended range first, instead of picking it up without enforcing first, the air unit has extended range on rebase as well and can return from whence.

The program should not allow an air unit to fly further its regular range without forcing extended range first.

AFAIK if you fly missions in extended you can rebase extended, if not it is not possible.

Can you post a gamesave? I've never seen this problem before.

I tried hard, I tried several times, but was unable to recreate the situation, which lead to a CW bomber to be destroyed due not being able to rtb after ground strike on extended range. It seems, you can pick up an air unit, fly extended range without first right clicking and forcing extended range and rtb using extended range.
I don't know, how we managed to mess this up in the game ...
