The short version:
Planes on the ground are still planes, except for the brief refueling period
so they will defend themselves the same as they would in the air.

Planes on ground is not like planes in air....planes on ground will not and can not defense against planes that are in air and attacking! Simple rule of air forces try our history! Just watch or read about Israel 6 day war!
Let me help you
In this game planes are only vulnerable while refuling. Don't confuse alternate realities with this one.Frostbane wrote:

This question would not be asked nearly as often if Bytro would simply add an animation showing planes on DLI taking off to defend.
to quote myself
If it looks like a plane, then it is a plane and will fight as a plane.
Nowhere does it state that the planes at an airbase are actually on the ground.
Just because the plane is shown on the ground, doesn't mean it's grounded. Planes in war have full combat readiness and unless refuelling, they should technically react even faster than the attackers.MadMike69 wrote:

That gives me an idea. With the update to unit images coming with WebGL, it should appear that the plane is not grounded once refueling is done.But what happens if we launch rockets ?VorlonFCW wrote:

Currently = planes on ground can be destroyed by rockets and arti
Your new proposal = automatic patrolling (after refueling) = cannot being hit by rockets anymore (except during refuel.)
It's not only a graphic matter as it also affects the gameplay.
Is that right ?
Patrolling planes can be attacked with rockets since ever...
No, Not patrolling. Merely a slightly different graphic with no changes to the rules of engagement.CoralWar wrote:

Yes, although the most damage is done during the refueling period, which would not change. Artillery and rockets are rather ineffective against full strength planes anyway in my opinion. This would not change.CoralWar wrote:

Yes. Again I don't consider it a wise use of resources to launch rockets at patrolling planes, as it typically works out to one rocket to kill one plane, but it has been possible. In theory the targeting of patrolling planes by rockets is on the list of things to be "fixed' (removed) currently, although I don't have any idea when that will be.Restrisiko wrote:

In my (long ago) experience it even needs far more than one rocket per plane.VorlonFCW wrote:

So as you say it's actually very inefficient and therefore usually not expedient as a standard combat.
But I would not remove it because it's in late game with large air fleets interesting and helpful.
(..it may be a good, and sometimes perhaps the only, way to break hardened air fronts..)

I agree with you on this Restrisiko. Sadly my opinion is not the only opinion.Restrisiko wrote:

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic (it seems like you are but I can't tell what part of this conversation you'd be mocking), so in case you're not: because SAMs weren't developed as an effective weapon until after WW2.JCS Darragh wrote:
