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.
