Allow me to toss in my two cents in hopes that we can end this debate in a rational manner.

- WW2 propeller planes can't take down jet fighters. Sorry, but no. Even if we're using the in-game versions that don't work properly, the prop planes can't catch up to them to shoot at them.

- Mk.45s and ship-launched missiles however, can take down jet fighters. The AFOH has at least some of these.

- Jet fighters are the only real counter that the IRF has to the AFOH's Cobras, albeit a fairly good counter.

- MCMs can work against Cobras, but are not terribly accurate against airborne targets and thus fairly unreliable. Chances are a few Cobras would go down, but they couldn't kill all of them with MCMs unless for some reason all the Cobras were flying in a tight group.

- If even one Cobra gets in range of a capital ship, the IRF will be hurting. At the very least, it would cause their ship to lose most of its weapons and crash into the water.

Based on the above, I would suggest that the most likely outcome is as follows.

AFOH takes heavy losses to its fleet of Cobras and fighters. A significant number of surface and flying ships are also lost. The IRF loses most of its fighters in the attack fleet, as they are unable to both effectively evade the missiles and Mk.45 guns while also shooting down Cobras. Most of their flying ships take damage, with several of the U-18s being destroyed by hits from the surviving Cobras that made it past the fighters and other defenses. The Daemon is heavily damaged, but tough enough to survive a few hits from the Cobras, and crashes into the water but survives. The IRF fleet warps out once the majority of their fighters are down, as they no longer have a way of countering the Cobras, meaning that to stay longer would be suicide.
