i emailed killer fish games about the helos and got a reply this morning
----------------------------------------
Helos right now do not have fuel limits, but it seems likely this will get added at some point.
Agree they should bug out on loss of parent ship. Another thing to add!
And we agree, they are a bit of a nuisance at the moment and will get looked at in order to improve them.
Cheers,
Paul

GAME: Atlantic Fleet
DEVICE: pc
DESCRIPTION:
so how do the ASW helos work? do they have a fuel limit? do they have to
land? if i destroy the ship they launch from shouldnt they bug out so they
can find safe landing somewhere instead of chasing me for 3 hours with no
where to land within hundreds of miles??? i love the challenge they bring
to the game but the game stops being fun when im sitting waiting for the
helo to buzz off for hours.
----------------------
i wonder when that will be implemented but i am certainly excited
