Thanks. We started getting so many interceptors keeping track of which ones were better at defending than others in my head was getting difficult, so I decided to dump them out here along with the true performace numbers.

The formula's have a huge impact on their effectiveness. Just looking on the stats on their own the Raiden looks inferior to the Spitfire Mk.IX (Skilled), but the way the defensive FP is calculated means the two planes are equal in performance.
