I've been trying improved carrier mechanics in new patch, but multiple times my CV fleet doing port strikes was being hit by ground based TAC bombers on naval strike mission, I had some CV fighters but they didn't seem to prevent ships from being bombed.

Should CV fighters be without assigned mission/region or on air superiority or interception mission?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but it looks like they just don't work in first case and are horribly ineffective in second case because due to low numbers their air detection is close to zero unless there is radar station near sea zone.

As a Wild Ass Guess (WAG), I'd think that IF your land based air can reach the target (of your port strike); use this to mess up Bozo's air defense; while your NBombers damage Bozo's ships ...and your NFighters set for Interception to scare off Bozo's TAC birds .
