AA individual targeting: In the revised rules, you mark the distance each plane has moved with a numbered disk. Since you target each plane individually, you may be able to shoot down a plane that has only travelled one space instead of one that has travelled three spaces, thus increasing the effective damage.
Landing defending planes from sunk Aircraft Carriers: If you sink a defending aircraft carrier, you can fly the planes one space at the end of the combat. Can you thus fly those planes to defend in a neighboring battle?
