Yes. The AA defensive strength of anti-aircraft units, and the AA capability of all other ground and naval units, is only triggered when they are attacked by enemy aircraft units, either via the 15-minute ticker of aircraft on patrol or via direct attack. It is purely defensive and reactive in character.

ok. wanted to make sure my thought was right before I deployed AA to all border provinces.

the AAA in CoW are just machine guns and small caliber (20-40mm) anti-aircraft guns.
No radar, no area defense.
CoW has nuclear tipped ICBMs, nuclear powered submarines, but radar had not been invented yet!

Uh more like the ability to tell the gunners whether there is planes or not, how far you can see into other provinces is definitely beyond visual sight.

QD, I do believe WB was being facetious. Note the bit about nuclear rockets, nuclear submarines and nuclear aircraft carriers.

I'd guessed that but I think my point still stands, which can be interpreted as me saying that AA should have range.
