im in a yorktown at lvl 74 with my guys around 70. i run a 3-3 or 4-2 (no torpers, just DBs)
ive been experimenting with a rush in a 3-3 where i launch 8 DBs, let them circle and launch 8 ftrs (this is a suicide run) and attack the enemy carriers right off the bat. the fact that ftrs have little fuel and the bombers have to circle dooms them but i get plenty of extras. anyways, ive had GREAT sucess with it. 90% of the time i get through with my bombers undamaged and its usually a scout that eggs the fighters away that gets me. my only problem is that i usually dont have the muscle to finish the job with only 8 DBs. smaller carriers go up like an ammo dump but big 1s burn. so unless im the biggest CV (rare), i usually dont bother and just 4-2 fighter whore. but when i get to the lex/tike/midway, can i do this?
