Air Combat Notes (refueling)

I have noticed a peculiar thing associated with air combat that I want to bring up here as it is not a bug but a weird interaction that in my opinion needs changing.

Here is the scenario: Enemy Fighters are patrolling an area, I sent my fighters to attack it. The attack is successful and the enemy fighters take damage. This works great. Now here is my issue. Once the attack is complete my planes must fly back to base and refuel and then come back to attack again, while the patrolling planes keep patrolling and don't have to fly back to base. How is it my fighters are out of fuel but the defending fighters are not. If mine are out of fuel then so should the enemy fighters have to go back to base to refuel. (This assumes short travel distances)

Suggested Remedies for this are listed below, either one will work.

1. Once battle is over and there are survivors they both go back to base to refuel.

2. Fighters keep fighting until one is destroyed. (Like ground combat)

• This could take into account fuel and have either one of them disengage if fuel becomes to low.
