The confusion seems to be in you’re holding back naval ships for naval bombardment. The advantage about scrambling planes is that it forces the attacker to commit all their naval ships regardless if they want to or not. That’s why it is sometimes wise to scramble in a losing battle if the enemy is relying on bombardment for victory. The easiest situation would be when Japan invades the Philippine islands. If Japan was so aggressive that all they brought was two infantry with two cruisers as example. I would scramble the fighter in that situation because while I will lose the sea battle, if you choose to invade the island after the battle, you’re doing it without naval support which gives my defending infantry a better chance at winning.
Scrambling when air units are attacking transports
-
In our current AA Global game, I am Axis. I have transports all by themselves in SZ 95 and 97. If Allies attack these transports, with air units can I scramble to protect them??

@genken good day.
You can, indeed , if the Air Base isn’t damaged more than 2. -
Thank you Witt…

I thought it was 3 damage points.
-
@superbattleshipyamato that is right; it can’t function for scrambling, if it has 3 damage (which is more than 2).
Didn’t mean to cause any confusion. -
