I figured I'd put this down here for posterity.
I've run some tests, and I'm convinced that radar towers do not impact air combat. My initial goal was to see where the radar needed to be (near the interceptor? Or near the bombed tile?) but I couldn't find any evidence that the tower did anything, ever.
60 bombers with 40 health bombed into 60 fighters with 40 health. Fighters have 4 attack, bombers 4 defense
Radar towers for the defender and the bomber seemed to have no impact on results.
Test 1: The player with the fighters had a radar tower. 36 out of bombers 58 destroyed the fighter than intercepted them. 22 died. (The other 2 weren't interecepted)
Test 2: The player with the fighters had a radar tower. 33 out of 59 bombers destroyed the intercepting fighter
Test 3: The bombing player had a radar tower next to his stack of bombers, and the defender had a radar tower. 28 out of 59 bombers destroyed the intercepting fighter
Test 4: The bombing player had a radar tower next to his stack of bombers. Defender, no radar tower. 31 out of 59 bombers destroyed the intercepting fighter
I'm too lazy to run a t test or whatever but with THAT big of a sample (59 interceptions, and 40 HP on each) the effect of the 25% combat bonus should be apparent, if it exists. I have yet to see evidence that radar towers effect bombing in any way.
Scenario is attached if you want to check my test for validity, or run some variation of it yourself in hotseat mode.
