It’s naval.
Not ‘Invincible Fleet’ from Ace Combat 4.
Planes getting BTFOd as hard as they do is cathartic if you ever played ground realistic.
It’s not like good pilots can’t get through air defenses because they straight up can.
Hell, if a plane gets above the escort fleet, they generally can bomb with impunity and there’s next to nothing non-guided ships can do about it because they’re about 4km up and flying fast enough to throw off VTF slingers.
AI DDs can snipe you from 40km away if they really wanted you dead (like in EC).
