Ship:Patrol Fighter Data
Patrol Fighters are carrier-based fighters identical to CAP Fighters but with a different mission. While CAP fighters are tasked to defend the carrier, Patrol fighters are tasked to defend a strike squadron. They are called to a squadron by player command, orbit the spot at which they were called, and attack enemy aircraft that come within range. Orbiting fighters also spot ships and other aircraft.
The Combat Air Patrol consumable, found on Bearn and the Essex branch, has an improved action radius, reaction time and number of fighters compared to the standard variant. However, it cannot spot ships past 2 km.
