Learning the air game

Is there a good resource on the airgame? WITW airgame seems much more clearer but in WITE it's very confusing.

Maybe read AAR of Dinglir as soviet he love to micromanage that stuff [:D]
I remember also reading old guides in "best forum post" compilation that you can find on these forums.

Once i attack with land units my opponent apears with 80 or more fighters. My air ground attack is 80 and escort 160. What can i do a) change parameters b) Bring forward fighter bases c) put close to the attack some hq with aa?

I have some problems with this also, sometimes an attack to a hex get a lot of escort and bombers, then in the next hex closer to my front, I got only bombers, no escort. I can't grasp well how it works, in WitW is more complex but it's also more clear.

Carefull the automatic selection of air unit for ground bombing have a lot of problem in my opinion.

If you want to perform ground attack mission, it is better to manually select air squad (Shift + ground attack). Also first select the airfield you want to conduct the attack. If the game propose you only bomber and no escort (while the target is not out of range), select another airfield full of fighters for example before trying ground bombing.

You have to select the airfield before each raid.

If you do not mind micromanaging you get better results still turning the airgroups you want to day missions and the ones you do not want to night missions (or vice versa for a night mission). Manually selecting airgroups (Shift+click) gets worse results than an automatic mission when the same airgroups perform the mission (I assume a bug) - but it can still be used to see what is available if you always press cancel at end. You can still select an airfield with auto missions of course.
