Mission Naval Strike. Some aircrafts hang with the status "RTB (Mission Over) Bingo/Winchester" and crushed. May be it isn't bug, but Doctrine issue.

The mission shows 'no targets' in the autosave.
When I run the 'carrier strike' scenario setting the target as the enemy carrier, it plays out and all planes returned to base.

Did you manually drop the target from the mission after the planes were launched?

Never mind. I ran the scenario again this time just activating it and I got what you see. The target is 'lost', and the planes just circle the pre-launch point.

They actually seem to be launching in 'Mission over' state with 'no target' defined even though there is a flight plan to the target.
Definitely something off.

I tried the mission.

The mission target tab was set for 'Target Destroyed - Return to Base'. The buttons for these targeting options are mislabeled. See these two threads for example:

'Target Destroyed - Return to Base' actually sets 'Opportunity Scramble'. Traditionally (like, CMANO or CMO pre-Tiny), this has let the strike missions respond against "pop-up" threats such that you did not need to populate the target list ahead of time. I point all this out because it is only with this option that the bug in the OP shows up.

Set 'Target Destroyed - Continue Mission' to actually set 'Focus on Strike Target', and the strike A/C will not launch at all without the target list being populated, which seems to be WAD.

Hi Shiveluch, thanks for reporting the issue, It's now fixed and it will be in the next update release

Thank's for your job. Carriers became more powerful
