you'll see the effect of radar in the combat msgs given during the A2A phase. Your going to see more descriptive msgs in general. The #'s engaging also change more dynamically. They can go up instead of just down (due to morale failure rolls)

Part of the problem is that the game puts a higher priority on carriers, so they will draw airstrikes like moths to a lamp. You'd be much better off if you could designate your bombers to attack my transports only, but there is no mechanism to do so currently (that I am aware of, maybe someone here knows a way).

No, there isn't a way. [8|]

Too bad really, kinda pointless to send 200 aircraft to get slaughtered by carrier cap, when the transports are the real threat anyway.

Ok, excuse me if I am not understanding this, but even if you set cap to 0 percent for the carrier based fighters,, a Carrier with decent radar will allow up to 90% of them to engage incoming enenmy attacks?
I normlly have all of my fighters on carriers set to 90% cap as it is so I have never seen this.

I don't think that 0% will work...any low percentage - yes, but 0 is 0.

By 1944 you will find yourself constantly facing 2-300 Hellcats and Corsairs on CAP and it's next to impossible
to get through. If your opponents 'stacks' more cv's the number can be 3 times has hight [8|]
 
Ehm...how you sink the allied CVs?
 
Being bounced by 2-300 Hellcats and Corsairs is a very thrilling experience [:'(]
Advice you to enjoy the Happy times of 1943 [:D]

When you make an air strike how you change the CAP?
 
Is more important the defence or the attack?
