tactical combat: defensive (land)

fighters set to intercept will attack everything within their range.

that said...

I have noticed that intercept missions "set" in provinces the fighters are not based in do not always work. I don't have an answer on that.

Since not all provinces are "created equal" in the distance arena, an SR fighter in Colmar would hit everything within a 2 province radius while an SR fighter in Montana would only intercept those attacks against Montana.

If you're having a different issue, I don't have the answer

Doesn't work for me either

Neither do dive bombers when there is an enemy fighter in the target province. It's very frustrating.

Simple solution is not to do that...there's no reason to set an intercept mission for a different province than the fighters are based in (that I know of)...they will intercept anything within their range regardless of what province. It's been awhile but step by step should be...

1. Select the fighter squadron you want to intercept.
2. Right-click on the province the fighters are based in. Select "Intercept."
3. Sit back and watch as your fighters lay waste to enemy bombers. Don't forget to check their strength every once in awhile.


It works so well for me I often have to turn it off for a bit to let my battered fighters regain their org. I usually base fighters one province behind the the main line.

Oh and hey guys I'm back from my long hiatus...now where's the 1.04 patch eh?
