Patrol or Direct attacks

They each have their plus and minus. About 95% of the time I patrol.

Shortly I understood do patrol do patrol patrol patrol patrol 5-5-5 send them patrol ıf enemy decide go back. go direct attack

I have only used Patrol with planes for a long time.

I may have direct attacked 2 units with my planes in the last 3 months, I patrol the rest of the time.

Yes

The balancing update will make it safer for your planes to be on patrol. (There are a few players who could exploit the patrol to damage your planes if you were not paying attention)

1- ıf enemy has just 1 ınterceptor patrolling should I sent with land units with anti-air and wait two days for this ? or send planes patrol or attack ?

2- If enemy has 3 group (5-5-5) ınterceptors and patrolling close areas each others anti-air ? patrol ? direct attack ?

Always patrol your own planes to take out other planes.

Never direct attack planes on patrol

I get along well by having twice as many planes if possible and patrolling to overlap the enemy patrol.

So if the enemy has 15 planes in a 5-5-5 group then I would prefer to have 30 planes. 3 groups each containing 5 interceptors and 5 tac bombers.

New players can be hesitant to use patrol - to their detriment. Restrisiko posted the link above - that opened my eyes.

The addition of tac bombers splits damage between your interceptors and tacs. So, you can take more damage before losing a plane(s).

since last update, tac b. have only 20 hp, also i would not use them for splitting damage for interceptors any more.

And best way to kill 5-5-5 interseptors only patrol was any way decent landunit stack.

if he would see rocket he doesn't split units, he moves patrol a bit away and your rockets are wasted, if he doesn't see your damage will be splitted for 3 stacks, if they really have same patrolpoint
