I know this has been discussed a few times, but!
1) Have you ever defended against an enemy interceptor while bombing with a Bomber, i.e. destroyed the interceptor?
2) Have you ever defended against an enemy interceptor while bombing with a Jet Fighter?
3) Have you ever sent Figters/Bombers to flush out interceptors by bombing a particular square. Find that there is no interceptor nearby (within 3 squares of the bombed square). Then send your helicopters, to the same square, only to see them intercepted!?
My answers for the questions in SP are ALWAYS
1) NO
2) NO
3) YES
Anyone had different outcomes? Is is just me or is air power in the game really badly unbalanced?

1 Yes
2 No, I switch to stealth bombers and ignore interceptors
3 I never bother with helicopters. Send in MI, not paratroops.

phew, going by those first replies i thought i was the only one but i'm glad you posted Jaybe even if your experience isn't as extreme as mine.
i suspect the glorious stories of that bomber defending against the fighter spread like bush fire throughout your lands.
anyway after posting i changed the jet fighter defence to 6 but left the intercept rate the same for now. too early to decide if its working yet.

oh another thing. has anyone found a use for the stealth fighter?
if so would you be so kind as to let me in on the secret of its purpose, apart from being an impotent half price stealth bomber?

I will use a couple of stealth fighters for recon missions but that is about all.

I only bomb with fighters to flush out the interceptors. And don't remember the last time they actually managed to damage anything. Like I said if there are interceptors, my fighters just burn.
Regarding helicopters I thought I'd give them a try in my latest game. So far I'm not impressed.
Thanks for the stats Jaybe.
On a side note, is there a way to change the game rules for saved games. I.e. change the bix file and load an old game while having the new rules?

If you mean intercept an AI bombing one of my cities then no. I've never seen the AI bomb a city.
If you mean an AI SAM shoot down a human player bomber then yes. I actually lost a stealth bomber to a SAM once and have lost a bomber a couple of times.
I do use air bombardment heavily and that is three losses in hundreds of bombing missions so I would not say it is a significant factor in the game.

I use bombers a lot, and I dont remember a fighter coming up after my bomber and failing to intercept. Does the game just not tell you if the AI's fighter intercept fails? Sometimes they dont come up even though I know they are there. What determines whether they will try to intercept?
Also, in one or 2 cases, interceptors have shot down my bombers and on the next turn I captured both the city being bombed and the only other city close enough for the fighter to have come from, and no fighters were destroyed when I captured the cities. How does that happen?

I believe stealth fighters and F15s can use precision strikes, that's what good about the stealth fighters IIRC.
