The dock button's tooltip should be updated with the new behavior.
I think a fuel limit should be added to the button's behavior. The sim uses 20% fuel (Console NeedRefuelThresholdRatio) in patrol/attack move so I'd use the same. It would be practical for users.

The default sim behavior docks aircraft below 75% hp (NeedRepairThresholdRatio in console), so 50% and 75% are quite low values. I would set a 90% threshold because below 90% is when ASF-ASF and inty-inty shots to kill change.
I don't think a Ctrl modifier is needed since people won't be clicking mid-combat to dock damaged aircraft (like attack move would with 75%), and they just want a dock-damaged modifier to not dock their full HP units and waste time repairing the fleet to full HP.
The default value for the hotkey itself should be updated too.

I was not aware of that threshold. I initially had it at 0.25 (25% hp remaining) but noticed that a lot of units that I would personally want to go and repair too did not go. In some cases no air craft would try to dock.
