If you use artillery, we know the defender will always take a Quality Check and may or may not take some damage as specified in the manual.

If you use off board support, ( air support or naval gunfire or heavy artillery) the manual is silent on the matter.

I have added off board support a few times and I have not seen any benefit.

I have seen benefits. I suppose you could have some weak naval support, with a combination of trying to batter some heavy defense positions, which could make it hard to see the benefit.

I was hoping for a chart somewhat similair to the artilly chart in the manual.

You mean besides adding craters to the terrain?

Air Support and Off Board Support are basically separate/stand alone artillery attacks and use the same table, including Quality Checks and all. The strength of the attack is pulled directly from the scenario settings.
