AA Defence of ports

[paddy1966]

HI all
A question on air defence,as UK i want to protect my fleet at Belfast. Will the proximity of air planes at Belfast matter or does every interceptor in the north of UK have equal interception chance. Will point defence have an advantage over area defence.[ Ships have different patrol settings,depending on mission type more chance of detecting other ships etc] also how do have airfield size effect effiency

Larger airfields allow more planes to operate from it without penalty.

@paddy1966 Planes have limited range and if you let them operate at their maximum range they will have a large penalty in their efficiency. If your interceptors have the range to operate in northern ireland from scotland/northern england then it wont be a problem. Radar in combination with planes patrolling the skies is the best combination to detect and intercept the enemy planes.

Cheers for the reply,but is there a proximity bonus for airfields,Germans bomb London,are my London interceptors more efficent than interceptors based at Bristol

Yes the futher from the airbase the aircrafts operate the less effective they will be able to perform their missions this depend on the operational range of the aircrafts.
