Fighter organization/doctrines:
My heavy Carrier have 36 torpedobombers and 12 fighters, my intention was to make 3 12 Swordfish groups each being escorted by 1 group of 4 Spitfire, as 1st torpedogroup and a sub group of fighters.
I presume there is no difference of pointblank defensive fire if its in a subgroup or being put into the same group as TBs? That is, my fighters will try and hit incoming missiles regardless of who is targeted?
Speed does count and the slightly faster fighters will lose a little in a fight?
I would love a dogfight order, possible with under orders as, go for bombers, or go for screening fighters... And CSP.. And... That list can go on forever...
