Newb CAG question

[BlindAdmiral]

I do not want to waste research points of tech I don't need. So I am trying to figure out if some of the techs from the "Air" tab carry over to affect CAGs. My best guess would be the techs from the FTR/INT, CAS and NAV sections. But they most specifically call out FTR, INT, CAS and NAV and say nothing of CAG.

It seems probable, but is not spelled out specifically. Can someone clarify this for me?

CAG techs are strung out because they need the same techs as multiple planes.

The "tips" do list what is needed, you just have to check each one. The first section upper left has some. CAS (the top 2) and NAV (the top 2) and another important 1 a further down. Also you want to get the CV fleet tech because it also adds a bonus to the CAGs.

INT, NAV, and CAS doctrines all have small effects on CAG, so you need to research pilot and crew training for each to get the full benefit. TAC doctrines don't affect CAGs. Some bomber techs and most interceptor techs affect CAGs. There are specific techs in the Bomber tab that only affect NAV and CAG.
