@ShadowHAwk said in The Taranto Raid Fighter/Carrier Question:
Ofcourse if you take less then 2 hits in that combat its not the worst thing.
certainly not!
I know an air base allows fighters scrambling to defend an adjacent SZ.
But can fighters also scramble to defend a land territory adjacent to an Air-Base (i.e. can Russian fighter and tact-bomber in Moscow (with an Air-base) scramble to defend Smolenks?
(from a purely logical point of view I don’t see why they couldn’t, but the manual seems to imply that fighters can only scramble on a sea-zone).
Scrambling is only allowed in sea zones.
Just to provide logical justification: air units can’t scramble to provide air cover for adjacent provinces because those provinces can have their own fighters and/or airbase. Sea zones cannot, and the purpose of air bases in many cases is to help nearby fleets.
