OTGamer,

Your aircraft will automatically target the enemy task force, if it's in range. Otherwise it will go after the base (the enemy ships pose a greater threat to your own ships than the base). Usually that means your bombers will go after any TF you see on the screen, but sometimes if the enemy decides to withdraw, they may be out of range but still visible for a round or so of combat.

Thanks,
