BTW, the moral of that unit is down to 20. You might want to do something there.

By do something I'm guessing you mean replace then with another unit and stand them down. Yes?

I would suggest transferring the flyable planes to a base with AV support ASAP and get some AV there to repair the planes that are grounded. You have a week or two (game time) of micromanagement ahead of you to get that unit back into shape.

down quickly), and then rest for one/two turns; for the cover of all other things (on
the ground) you must use the normal 'cap'. I say this because in your picture I see no
TF, but the picture is not complete, so forgive me if you knew these things;
however, it serve to noob like me.

When you use LRCAP, always set target.

Well...I use the CAP also for long coverage and it work, but next turns I
try what you say, never do that. The thing holding me back is the great effort
that pilots accumulate in lrcap, but if it is very much more effective, I'll try
it and then decide.

I think if you want to cover specific hex, LRCAP is better. If you want to cover larger area, then use CAP and range settings. I think LRCAP gives you more planes ready to intercept, while it might take more time for CAP fighters to arrive.

But because of fatigue, I rarely use LRCAP.

Status: offline 		LRCAP - I have found that its quite useful to set a % (say 30) on LRCAP if you don't know where the enemy bombers might go. Especially useful for covering nearby ships as setting a target only covers 1 TF, by leaving no target unassigned I've found that any TF in range can be protected (sometimes) by the unit in question. Saves micro managing every sqdn and TF when you have multiple TF's at possible risk of air attack.

anyhoo thats just my 2p

One thing I'd adress, beside the pointers already given, is the unit commander. This Major Takeda has an inspiration-skill at 56, which (IMO) is a little low. The unit's low morale considered.
