Aircraft range.

Because it would be unrealistic. Say your plane has range 100 km, and it's in an airport 150 km from the other. Although the ranges would overlap, it still wouldn't have the sufficient range to go from airport to airport in real life.

Your response does not make sense to me. Lets use a tactical bomber for example. It has an attack range of 313km at level 1. That is a round trip range. The plane has to travel there and back. So, its real range is 616km one way. The game does not give you any credit for one way travel. It will only let you fly from base to base based on attack range. This requires you to have twice as many airports as needed.

no it makes sense, it only shows its range on the circle, as it must account for its return

so in a sense it is 626km, but it only shows 313km to make our lives easier?

might have mis understood what you said

What he's saying is that if the distance between, say, Moscow and St Petersburg, is 300 km, and the aircraft travels from Moscow, bombs St Petersburg (doesn't land on its airfield), and goes back to Moscow, it's real range is 600 km, and therefore the aircraft should be able to travel 600 km in one direction.

aahh I see

good point,
