A fighter is much smaller, more mobile and generally faster then a
bomber. Finding a bomber and recognizing it was hard enough in WW2 how
successful were fighters in finding and identifying interceptors at
night?


By the end of the war they were extremely succesful.One tactic
widely used was for the intruders to fly around the NF base.

As the airctaft came in to land or took off the Mosquito
would swoop in for the kill. By the winter of 1944/45 there
were mor intruders flying than German night fighters and
they were considerably faster. By the time you loaded
down an Me-110 or JU-88 with its heavy guns, radar
and antennae it was rather slow and didnt handle at all
well.
