ORIGINAL: soloje_ssl I push at the top this subject I have a question about CAP and long range CAP Is the CAP 100% is équivalent to a Long range CAP 100% with the objective the base where is your Air group. for instance: your Air group is based at Rangoon, 100% Cap is similar as result than a long range CAP 100% and Rangoon as objectiv? You should use CAP when you are defending your own fighter base or something next to it. When something you want to defend is further your base where your fighters are, you need LRCAP with target set to what you want to defend. LRCAP is inherently weaker than CAP, since planes have to travel further, so you have less planes in station any given time (or able to respond). And you don't usually get help of radar either when LRCAPing something (e.g. TF or ground unit or other base). And to be clear, just in case, it is useless to LRCAP same base where your fighters are stationed, use CAP then. With LRCAP you can also use planes from different bases to defend one place/TF/ground unit etc.
