Ha Ha Ha , But when i chose "attack" it does not work on airplanes!

Air defense (AA and other units with anti air value) in this game is always reactive, which means that it only fires when is attacked from air, and then AA and airstrike are evaluated directly against each other like close combat.
Browser games are an ingenious business idea to lure out money ..

How can Anti Air and other units attack Airplanes, when they flying so high?)
Only when planes flying low (in attack time) they can defence. And we can see this in units info - only defences damage. -
So an Air defense can't attack a airplane on patrol, right?

All units have some level of air defenses, with AA being the most. Defensive stats are used to return fire each and every time they are attacked.
So a plane on patrol attacks everything within the patrol circle every 15 minutes at 25% of the listed combat value.
When these units are attacked, they return fire upon the airplane. This mechanic is a completely automatic process and requires no input from the user.War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin keep out of the way til you can. - Winston Churchill

If a plane is on patrol in an area with only one stack, since it attacks every quarter cycle for 25% of its attack, does the AA return 25% of it's attack or does it return 100% four times?Jacques Thomas

Couple of questions
What range does AA have, does it need to be in the stack to defend it or can it be adjacent? If so, how close?
Related is how far apart does AA or Arty have to be to avoid being caught up in melee?
Finally, if AA is in melee, can it still damage bombers attacking the stack or is it too busy fighting in the melee? -
I have heard 5km away for AA to cover another stack, although have no idea how to measure 5km in game lol
As to the rest, I have no idea [still fairly new to this] -
Scale showing 5 km would be a good future mod to all maps! ...

AA does not attack, it only defends itself when attacked.
Every single unit defends itself each and every time it is attacked.
So if the plane attacks the stack that contains AA, the AA will return fire, regardless of any other engagements or orders.
Direct attack by a plane includes all enemies within 5 k distance of the target, so if the AA is targeted it will return fire.
You can measure based on the speed of units on a particular terrain. For example if a unit will travel at 20k per hour on that terrain, then it will travel 5k in 15 minutes.
Please note that these distances are just a arbitrary measurement, and not precisely aligned with Kilometers. Different maps may have a different scale of distance from say London to Paris.War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin.

While ground and naval units can use their one attack cycle per game hour to bombard at range, they do not defend with any range.
Being pinned down does not prevent them from using their one offensive attack per game hour. They are able to change the target to anything within range at any time for the next combat tick.War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin.

Thank you Vorlon, that clears this up a bit for me.
Except for how far apart does AA or Arty have to be to avoid being caught up in melee? Is it the 5km implied in the defense range?
Thanks again -
Yes, the close combat / melee range of all units is 5kWar is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin keep out of the way til you can. - Winston Churchill
