 * **[Campaign AI]** Auto-planning mission range limits are now specified per-aircraft. On average this means that longer range missions will now be plannable. The limit only accounts for the direct distance to the target, not the path taken.
 * **[Campaign AI]** Transport aircraft will now be bought only if necessary at control points which can produce ground units and are capable to operate transport aircraft.
 * **[Campaign AI]** Aircraft will now only be automatically purchased or assigned at appropriate bases. Naval aircraft will default to only operating from carriers, Harriers will default to LHAs and shore bases, helicopters will operate from anywhere. This can be customized per-squadron.
+* **[Mission Generation]** EWRs are now also headed towards the center of the conflict
 * **[Kneeboard]** Minimum required fuel estimates have been added to the kneeboard for aircraft with supporting data (currently only the Hornet).
 * **[Kneeboard]** QNH (pressure MSL) and temperature have been added to the kneeboard.
 * **[New Game Wizard]** Can now customize the player's air wing before campaign start to disable or rename squadrons.
