Does Air Superiority have any direct effects on naval battles?

[Kryndude]

I can't remember/find anything about the effects of AS on naval combat. I know that land-based naval bombers can only join a fight once, but does land-based fighters have any effect on the battle or does it just indirectly help by allowing bombers to operate unhindered? I feel like I've read somewhere how AS affects sortie efficiency but can't find the source and can't really tell by looking at the game tooltip.

I don't think land based Fighters can interact with Carrier aircraft at all.

I believe of you are fighting over green air and your opponent has carriers his carrier planes will essentially not do any damage to your fleet. Other then than naval bombing it dosent do anything as far as I am aware. Which is why you always want to fight naval battles over green air if possible.

Yes, that's what I remember too, air superiority affecting sortie efficiency, but I can't find any source of that info, not even the game itself since it says nothing about the co-relation of the two anywhere.

Air superiority increases spotting chance and enemy air superiority decreases mission efficiency.

See the NNavy-Defines:
NNavy.DETECTION_CHANCE_MULT_AIR_SUPERIORITY_BONUS = 0.25
NNavy.ENEMY_AIR_SUPERIORITY_IMPACT = -1
