After further consideration I no longer feel the fighter escort/interceptor rule needs any fine tuning. In my previous posts I expressed the view that the rule nerfed strategic bombing too much but I’ve since changed my mind. After all, bombing raids over inland German targets without escorts was near suicidal, especially during the daylight. It wasn’t until the Allies had deployed long range escort fighters and had outnumbered the defending Luftwaffe aircraft, that the Allies were able to conduct bombing missions without terrible loses. The same is true with the fighter escort/interceptor rule as it stands now and it should stay that way.
Sub rules

question on the rules for attacking sunmarines. can battleships, cruisers and other subs attack submarines without a destroyer? or do you always need a destroyer to attack subs? i know a destroyer is required for planes to attack subs.

Surface warships can attack submarines without a destroyer present, however the defending submarine has the option to submerge before the attacker has had a chance to fire. Basically, the defender gets to decide if they want to participate in combat at that point.

and with a detroyer present, the sub cannot submerge. makes sense. thank you so much.
