Can Land-Based Fighters Defend Against Carrier-Based Bombers in a Naval Battle?

[GeneralisimoAR]

"Let's say two fleets are engaged in battle. One has four aircraft carriers, while the other relies more on battleships. If the fleet with battleships has a group of land-based fighters nearby, can those fighters neutralize the damage dealt by the carriers?

Thanks.

If the naval bombers were land-based, the answer would probably be yes. But since carrier-based bombers use a special mechanic, that’s where the question arises.

I dont even know if carrier based fighters just shoot down carrier nav or if they ALSO disrupt them.
The answer to that question is 50% of the way to anwser your question.

I can atleast say anecdotally that from my testing i have never felt that fighters disrupted aka effectively reduced nav damage in battles. There has always been talk about carrier navs sometimes acting like they "deck wipe" the carriers. Iirc then thats just org wiping carriers which means no launches which is the perfect result against carriers.
How they do it? No idea. Iam really unsure about this claim.

If you have a naval battle with carriers in them you can hover over sortie effiency to see all modifiers. One should be enemy air superitory.
If the enemy has enough air superioty in the seazone/airzone that the battles takes place, your sortie effiency drops to 0% and no planes take off your carriers.
