Basic Aircraft Range Question

[VarlosZ]

As long as I'm here, another basic question (this one I might have just missed in the manual): Are aircraft more effective and/or more likely to engage at shorter ranges? Should I care whether I can fly my unit 30 hexes closer to the front if the limits of his range from his current base allow him to cover everything I want him to cover?

Thanks again.

8.2.6 air Unit Combat support and air
superiority reactions (advanced rules)
In order to provide combat support or intercept enemy
Air units, air units must pass both a Quality Check (see 9.1.10)
and a Range Check. The chance of passing a Range Check decreases with range to target as a proportion of the unit’s Combat Range.
