I'm playing in the Modern era on an archipelago map for the first time. Throughout the game I have been taking cities with my navy (G&K). My next enemy target has started building air units, and she uses frigates and privateers for her navy. My armada is made up of a large number of battleships, a privateer, a carrier with some aircraft, and ironclad coastal raiders for capturing.
I have not really used destroyers in any serious way before. I'm debating whether to spend a few more turns researching, and upgrade the ironclads to destroyers before I attack. Anyway, the question:
The destroyer has a special ability called "Interception (40)". Does this mean it has a 40% chance to intercept air attacks? Or does it always intercept, and have 40% bonus strength while intercepting? The Civilopedia and wikis are unclear about this. I also searched the internet and did not find a definitive answer.
I think that either way, it will probably be helpful to finish the tech and bring destroyers against this opponent. But I would use different positioning, and spend money upgrading different numbers and types of units, depending how the naval Interception ability works. Thanks in advance for insight!
