Mystery of a lost fighter

27 Aug 2020, 19:12

Here I was attacking that patrolling fighter and I got the following results:

>In first round my fighters lost more morale as they were down to 70% and enemy fighter was down to 75%

> when my fighters left his patroll area after first round for refueling enemy fighter was down to 33% and mine fighters morale become 83%

>in next round I lost one fighter

It took me 3 rounds to kill his fighters

Can anyone explain me what exactly happened here? (No signs of gm usage)

He patrolled first. This gives a huge advantage

The first to achieve air superiority wins. Once I also faced this problem and did not know why my fighters were so worthless and could not defeat anyone. But then my companions explained to me

I know about this thing but I ordered my fighters to attack not to patrol so it means Damage is received by both sides. And as quoted earlier i was able to shot down one of his patrolling fighter at 100% with my 1 fighter at 100%.

don't try to get a logical reason on how fighters behave, it's pointless

Even if you give a direct attack order doesn't the combat still see it as the enemy having air superiority since he was patrolling the area first. Regardless of the direct attack order?
