You'd have to try it to understand what I mean.

In the u-boat campaign you click on a airbase and it shows the max radius of the plane. You then right click to give it a waypoint. Then it searches the area. You can update it's waypoint. They do get shot down or return for more fuel. You can ALSO command a small group of ships.

Here's my proof. Go to upcdataGE/upccrewdata and open specialabilities.upc. Scroll to the bottom and you'll see this:

; end of file

So the idea isn't so far fetched after all is it?
