Strange behavior of aircraft dropping torpedoes

[Stealth17]

Dear devs,

I noticed something weird with the attack-submarine order at aircraft. Both helicopters and airplanes drop 1 missile as I give the command and then just keep flying way over the target until they're well out of range.

I had to manually send the aircraft back (navigate to near the sub) and attack it again.

Is this a bug?

EDIT: Noticed the Bugs-forum too late. Can a mod please move this topic? Thanks!

I think planes revert to their previous movement order after they attack. If you want it to stay in the area set a patrol box around the sub before you attack.

Fuf is correct. I had this issue as well, but I found it very annoying that the aircraft did not press their attacks. This made me lose the second mission too many times.

Not until I used the box did I manage to keep them in the vicinity.

So that's the trick! Ok thanks guys

The reason he wont attack anymore after he have launched his missiles is because he doesn't have viable weapons for that target type anymore. There should have been a "out of order" when this happens, though.
