Rearming planes can't be stopped from landing

Can we make it so that stop command cancels the landing for bombers that are rearming.
Currently nothing you do will stop them once they have started landing sequence.

Example game, bottom right. Getting attacked by GS, bombed the AA then licho immediately starts landing with gnats and transport next to it. Unable to cancel it so just gets stuck on the fac and nearly dies.

you can reclaim the air pad/fac to 99% then the planes would fly off, it's abit silly to use and should have a better way but its the best for now

So I hate to give away another air player trick, but you can put them on land & hit stop (s) wherever you want them to land and they will land and stay there until you give them another command - even when planes are on the way to reload. It works when the planes are not too close to the landing pad.

You have to manually re-direct the planes away before they are locked onto the landing pad and then hit S while they are in landed state mode.

The problem here was the plane bombed in range of the landing zone so it immediately went into the unstoppable landing sequence. Then got stunned by gnats so reclaiming the fac wouldn't help either.

Well there is a solution to that problem too....has to do with queuing up commands...

That is just an ugly workaround for a problem that shouldn't exist. It's no wonder people don't play air when it has so many ridiculous quirks.
