At the start of every scenario, I adjust the ranges of my air wings to their normal rather than maximum ranges - this to lessen operational losses.

Does anybody else consider this to be a little tedious?

A suggestion would be to have ranges set to the normal (black ring) as a default at the start of each scenario.

For me this is a lifesaver, I have lost more than my fair share of planes due to op losses as a result of max range at start

Would anybody else find this a benefit?

The default extended range can be troublesome with groups upgrading, especially when you didn't notice.
Yes, I'm with you. Default should be Normal Range, not extended.

Status: offline 		I agree, this totally drives me nuts when I move an air group and it resets their range to extended.

I think it may be done this way as the AI may not deal with this aspect of the game very well.

But it would be nice to have a toggle on the setup page to change this for each side.  A bit like they do for torpedos and damage control

I also set my air groups to normal range, for the same reason. Yours suggestion would be very useful.

Hoping to keep this alive and get an answer from the devs

It makes such sense to have normal ranges at the start - anything else is sub-optimal

if you'd post this on the tech support forum, i'm sure your suggestion would get some discussion, & michaelm (who does the work for the ongoing 'public beta' upgrade) would be more likely to see it.
