I'm certain this has been clarified, but for the life of me I can't find it. The SAs...

INTERCEPTOR: If there are no enemy Fighters in the same sector as this unit, this unit rolls one extra attack die when making Antiair attacks against enemy Bombers

NIGHT INTERCEPTOR: If there are no enemy Fighters in the same sector as this unit, this unit rolls one extra attack die when making Antiair attacks against enemy Bombers. In Darkness, enemy Fighters must make a successful search check to negate this bonus.

The question...

Does a strafing fighter block INTERCEPTOR? Example 3xDauntlesses and a strafing Beaufighter attack a pair of DDs. A A6M2 Rufe (w/NIGHT INTERCEPTOR) attacks the group. Does INTERCEPTOR work? Or does the strafing Beaufighter block it?

I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.

That thread is a very good read. I made a P-38G, where I cut the cost from 9 to 8 and replaced Interceptor 2 with Advanced Interceptor 1.

There's not a 7 armor 9 vital plane under 9pts in the the originals and expansion decks and i believe out side of your decks one; a Turkish 190
A first;; to me thats pushing the envelope to far;
Personally for 9pts. your p-38's a good deal and probably how it should have been made in the first place.
Or as SWO has stated 8AA with interceptor 1; Its not an attractive unit as is; but it really doesn't need a lot of polish
to make it work.

So it is apologies; seems to be a broad spectrum on this unit::
