They cannot land and run out of fuel. For example, a simple training mission (for me) in Mariannas. Take off from Andersen AFB fly to that tiny Farralpn rock North of Saipan, sink a static gunboat with MavF, hit a few statics with MPP APKWS, then RTB. With one of the waypoints set to Rota divert for re-arm/refuel. My fuel calcs , give me full internal, no tanks, 2 minute playtime over pri target, then RTB, with Rota as refuel. AV-8B cannot fly from AAFB to Farralon rock, strike a target, and return to AAFB, just on internal, with stores. It must either carry bags, in-flight refuel, or divert refuel. I chose Divert/Refuel, and se that WP as such. Flight to target , at 20K, and strike, all go OK. On return legs, I set the WP to Rota, land, refuel no problem. On landing on Rota, I commanded AI to RTB, which it should land on base I am at, as flight lead. But AI just kept flying around, until fuel is out, then AI ejects.

 

Stores: AIm-9M  X2, MP APKWS X 2, AGM-65F X2, TPOD (centerline)

Fuel: full internal.
