Interceptor/Fighter Planes on Air Superiority over the provinces being attacked is the best thing to do. AA Guns are sometimes effective, but not as cost-effective as planes.

If the enemy planes are bombers, go with interceptors, which are generally better than fighters, but some of the larger nations can build both.

I'd say interceptors as most of the enemy planes over your territory are going to be bombers, also, radar only adds to interceptor's values, and the whole finding part never worked at all as far as is commonly accepted.

It worked until Armageddon as far as I know.

I reported it as broken right after the Doomsday (not ARM) 1.2 patch.

Fighters are the most effective. Add a radar station to help them find the enemy.
0/2. See me.

Interceptors are more effective, and RADAR does not help find enemy planes.

In short, this means that radars and radar techs are so terribly uneconomical as to be considered useless, right? I mean, I seem to recall there being like a 2,5% (adjusted for tech level) bonus for your planes per each level of radar in a given province, that doesn't even spill over to adjacent provinces. Yet I'm still too anal about it and research at least the first tech and place one radar in border provinces...
