Ronald Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Would an Intercept standing order by aircraft stationed in a port city intercept enemy aircraft if they approached over sea? (basicly they dont cross the province) or would you need a Fighter Cover mission to catch aircraft flying in over sea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbeerse Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Hello Ronald, Fighters which are on intercept will defend the city where they are stationed, even when the attacker comes from the sea. Norbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smedleythebarbarian Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Ronald, You do NOT want to build airbases in port cities they are subject to coastal bombardment and can be very costly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbeerse Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 In some cases you will have to build airbases in portcities. Seaplanes for example can only be build there. Seaplanes are good for patroling the seazones... And since everybode knows that you don't want to build in portcities, it could be a good place to build an airbase...

Kurassier Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 It is my understanding that an INT order for SF on a fleet in port would only intercept air attacks on the port, not in the adjacent sea zone. You would need a FC order to cover the sea zone, or move your fleet to the sea zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimor Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 get some good recon bombers who try to sink everything in those sea zones... will work like a charm.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurassier Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I use fleets all the time. The rules in Vic are not extremely favorable, especially with those land based bombers around. However, for amphib operations and an occasional CB, quite handy. But not very cost efficient, I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Posted February 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I know you dont -want- to build airbases in port cities, but sometimes you dont have a choice. Besides if a player is gonna reveal his precious warfleet for a good bombing in trade for a fightersquadron or 4, it might actually not be such a bad trade-off. But in this case i was just wondering it when i went over the rules again. "A force with "Interception" orders will remain alert for any enemy air intrusion into the province where it is located." and in theory port city's can be reached without crossing the province.
