I had always been wondering in the past about why there appears to be so little air-to-air combat when one would expect much more to take place. I never investigated it, but a lot can simply be attributed to the AI's aversion to building proper airforces.
What I did however come across recently when randomly browsing some old files and reading the German manual of my Civ3 vanilla installation, is that air units on interception duty only intercept enemy air units in an interception range equal to half their normal operational range. This appears to be the intended behaviour, but I never saw any mention of it anywhere on these forums. So today I am posting this thread to raise awareness.
Love the detailed manuals of old times, spent so much time reading the physical ones back then as a kid.
