My Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" fighters are doing nothing

Trying to find a solution to the DEI fighter threat. I confirm I still have some oil available.

So I have placed two CVL in range of Singapore.

But doing any type of strike on Singapore from Kuala Lumpur, the CVL does not provide any fighter coverage against the DEI fighters.

Why is that?

The CVL is in Fleet mode just to be sure the fighters would do something. In Raider mode, I would have understood nothing is done.

So, really, why no Zero in the air?

CVS don’t have a fighter type unit loaded on them. Don’t try to think logically or as in real life. The units will do what the manual says they’re programmed to do. CVS do not give mission support ever.

Snif. For Warplan 2, I want carrier based fighters scrambling when in Full Support mode. And, I want to distinguish fighters, dive bombers and torpedo bombers. A mini Carrier at War on Warplan map.

Next update I am reducing the range of the DEI air unit anyways.

Perfect, Interceptors instead of Fighter Bombers will do it. This will give time for the Japanese player to bring some Air Superiority units. Thanks Alvaro.

And also, this will give a better chance to sink the Repulse and the Prince of Wales.
