The confusion seems to be in you’re holding back naval ships for naval bombardment. The advantage about scrambling planes is that it forces the attacker to commit all their naval ships regardless if they want to or not. That’s why it is sometimes wise to scramble in a losing battle if the enemy is relying on bombardment for victory. The easiest situation would be when Japan invades the Philippine islands. If Japan was so aggressive that all they brought was two infantry with two cruisers as example. I would scramble the fighter in that situation because while I will lose the sea battle, if you choose to invade the island after the battle, you’re doing it without naval support which gives my defending infantry a better chance at winning.
Loading and offloading units in the same NON-COMBAT move.

Can you load a land unit and then offload it in the same NON-COMBAT move? because I’m watching GeneralHandGreande middle earth strategy video, and he loads and offloads a land unit during the same NON-COMBAT move.

In Global 1940 you can, provided the units involved comply to the NCM-rules and you unload the unit into a friendly territory.
From the rules, Pacific 2nd, page 22:
“Transports can move to friendly coastal territories and load or offload cargo, unless they loaded, moved, offloaded, or were involved in combat during the Combat Move or Conduct Combat phase.”and page 32:
"A transport can load cargo in friendly sea zones before, during, and after it moves. A transport can pick up cargo, move 1 sea zone, pick up more cargo, move 1 more sea zone, and offload the cargo at the end of its movement. "

@snpic that is correct. Normally loading and unloading will happen on the same non combat move although you are allowed, on a non combat move, to leave the units on the transport and unload them on a subsequent turn.
