This one always feels hard. How would air combat work well in Civ? They're not normal units, they need to take off and land at an airfield. There's a thousand schemes you could come up with, fuel, and landings, airfields, flight range, etc.
But, far as I can see, I've got it.You set a bomber mission, they take 1 turn, your turn/the enemies turn (whoever sends them off), to take off, get countered by any defenses and take subsequent damage, and come back to land. Fighters automatically defend anything in range and automatically defend/take spread damage to themselves on bomber missions. They work like advanced, glorified ultra long range city bombards, but they work. Nothing complicated, nothing hard to balance, aircraft carriers are just mobile airfield units, etc.
