does anybody know what values the bridge and airfield attacks are based on ?? It appears to me that bridge attacks are mainly influenced by the units artillery strength, but I don't have a clue what the main factor in airfield attacks is (still wondering if it is Anti-Air strength or artillery, too).

And if aircraft could destroy their own airfields they could deny them to the enemy etc.

So according to this: If I use air units to attack they will fight the battle as "bombarding" (according to the combat report) units using the artillery strength, whereas any fighters on air superiority will "support" the attack (again the combat report) but uising what?? The artillery strength or AA Strength??

Thanks for the clarification

AA strength. But they'll only fight aircraft which are airborne (i.e., enemy fighters).
