Btw does interceptor fighter count as regular fighter helping archieving air superiority? *as indicates in group 1. Short answer is yes.

However, from what I have seen it has a much less of an effect than a pure AA fighter. What its good for is reducing incoming damage from abyssal air raids. It also shoots down a lot of bombers on Air vs Air nodes, and enemy carriers with a lot of bombers.

I didn't have any in my leading group, I was more worried about shooting down enemy fighters so my bombers could pass and do full damage. Their range is also limited and their effectivess drops off as you get closer to the boss.
