Looking through the manual (which I've heard is incomplete due to various patches) there isn't anything in Naval or Air that specifically says forts help vs air/naval attacks. Seems logical that it would help, I guess I was hoping for something more concrete. I agree with you that it seems to help, but how much is the question. If it doesn't have an impact, then maybe it should...
rtrapasso is very knowledgeable about the game. I have, however, read in other threads that forts in fact don't help with naval bombardment. Possibly they do, but not much, or possibly they help a lot. Yet, as far as I know, know one has posted definitively on that. Similarly I have read that they are very ineffective against air raids. My personal belief is that the game designers intended forts to be for land combat. I gave up on building forts against naval bombardment...perhaps that was unwise.
As to whether or not they should, I think that should depend a lot on the terrain. A lot of bombardments occur at places where naval bombardments couldn't reasonably reach. For instance, iirc the harbor at Noumea was rather well protected and would have been very difficult to shell effectively. Same for the air fields at Port Morseby.
