Is this a "new" one?? Something I just noticed, since loading Enhancement 4.0. (Could I have missed it playing earlier versions??) When I send a copter (Clean Shard, in this case) to take out an enemy improvement,(Bunker, Mine, Farm, etc.) the copter does NOT have the option of flying back to home base, but rather stays put, after the attempt, (successful or not) and takes a 30% damage assessment. This doesn't happen when I attack troops. The copter has always had the option of continuing to attack (if there are a number of moves left.), return to base. BTW, I'm playing at "Talent" level. I have always played at a lower level in the past. Any ideas?

ddayjoe44,
I think you just missed it before. You don't want to use your choppers for improvement destruction, for this very reason. It's the same for ground troops, they lose any remaining MPs after destroying improvements.
