Don't have an issue with the TGRF flying long range missions with Stormshadow to be honest.
If you only have x Tomahawks in your inventory but you have y Stormshadows where y is > x then why not pickle some of y off?
Likewise why bother carting said Stormshadows all the way to an airfield thats closer to the release point prior to loading them onto your Tonka when you could just use said Tornado to carry them to the release point in one go. Having released them why land somewhere else when you could get back home and reload?
Simple math not RAF politics/willy waving imho.
