Why my air defense doesnt Work?
The planes go out from the cities without any target, and if any target comes, and its destroyed, all the others one move over there.
Also, they go out from the cities and the target is out of range.. Its a bug? or only happens to me?
Im playing with the UN

Your not alone. Everything you mentioned has happened to me.

It's even worse than that: assuming your fighters DO find their targets, the combat is resolved as weapon-vs-weapon with NO "Air Superiority" bonus for your fighters.
If your fighters would simply have a smoke and wait for their turn, attacking the returning bombers is weapon-vs-armor, WITH the "Air Superiority" advantage.
So maybe your fighters missing their targets on a "scramble" mission isn't necessarily a bad thing ...

The worst thing about it, is that if a select a fighter on watch and later manually return it to base a set it to No orders (space bar) to try to fix it, it still is on watch, andlaunches itself on a suicide attack.
Anyway Im going to make it manually, but is the only defense versus the copters.. :-(
I have to say by to all my formes and half of my units :-( Its a really annoying bug
