How do you command your units to support attack instead of actual attack?
I think it was either Ctrl + Rightclick or Ctrl + Alt + Rightclick.
And if you happen to fully encircle a port and just want to do port strat, you have to delete any order.
That way they will attack but not move in.
Draw Frontline or Fallbackline around port.
Delete any order. The divisions have to be without order.
Then you can make a "non-push attack".

If you're using old fighters, the new ones will slowly replace your current ones. You can create elite airwings to use only latest designs.

thats what id do
There was a point in my last game where it was like 1941 and i had 20 mils on the fighter for at least a couple of years and still wasn’t having any show up in my create airwings
