My bombers are not dealing any damage.

I must be drunk, it did damage that round. Now if I could only find out who is spiking my milk....

Nope

Does the interceptor have to be in the attacking stack, or can it be patrolling nearby?

What if the interceptor is attacking another unit, but still in view range?

Does it have to be flying, or can it just scout from the ground, like an armored car?

I have something similar going on. My Tach Bombers are patrolling over an enemy Commando. I have an Armored Car nearby and I can see the commando just fine. No damage is done to my bombers nor the commando during patrolling, but if I tell the bombers to Attack the commando, it dies. I haven't tried it with an interceptor in my bomber stack, but if I can see it, I think I should do damage when patrolling.

Thats a known issue and sadly not easy to fix due to underlying logic how armies are handled in our game.

Your army will only automatically attack the stealth unit if a scout unit is part of the army. If it is not only a manual attack command will work.

One tip is that always include interceptors in your bomber stacks. They absorb more damage. Also, they are useful when the enemy uses planes against your bomber stacks. Lastly they can detect stealth units.

Too costly, to easy to kill, and the damage they do is negligible.

That needs fixing to be sure.

Wont you limit your Bombers to the range of the interceptor?

Yes, fighter and/or naval bomber must be included in the stack, if you want to damage stealth units while on patrol.

Tested in my last game, as I encountered the same issue.

The negligible damage was not on a stealth unit. Armored Cars and Infantry.

And.. this is a big and... why are Armored Cars and Infantry demolishing planes? Im not saying not to take some damage, but they smacking them like they little flies.

No my comment was about distance. If you stack interceptors with bombers dont you limit their range?

When on patrol damage is only dealt every 15 minutes.
