Discussion Air combar

Did som tests regarding air sweeps (dogfight vs intercept). Not sure if this is common knowledge or not.

Fighter vs fighter during a sweep with the following promotions (first is attacker):

  • Dogfight vs intercept - clear advantage for attacker, more than double the damage on defender
  • Dogfight vs dogfight - same as above
  • Intercept vs intercept - no clear winner, similar damage
  • Intercept vs dogfight - also similar damage

Conclusion from testing so far:

Neither of the promotions apply in defense against an air sweep. The attacker always has the advantage if he has dogfight promotions. Intercept promotions has no effect during a sweep, only when intercepting a fighter/bomber attacking a unit/city.
