In supports slots I have 7 FTs ( first i take 2/2/2/2/2 Fts, in first time I am fast to
kill Scouts,etc, and after 5/5), and one seaman elite in FT. And in R slots i have 2 medics...

So is my US Midway :P

Do you think 4 FP and 4 DB/TB is a good setup?
Or 5 FP and 3 DB/TB?

Load 6 fighters and 2 bombers.

Launch fighters in a 4/4/2 formation.

Launch bombers in a 5/5 formation when you have the opportunity.

6 Fighters and 2 Bombers works very well.

use 5/5 when fighting a strong enemy cv.....
5/2/1/1/1 will clear the sky of scouts while still having a force to meet enemy fighters

CV6 midway:12
US PCV Ticonderoga:11

Do you guys know how many planes can take off the Midway and Implacable?

8 fighters is only overkill if you use a 5/5 launch pattern. Using 3/3/4 can have 6 squads
in the air and be loading 2 more. Anyway I find 2 bombers only kind of fail since it takes
so much time to launch a full flight on only 2 pilots. For a balanced approach I find 5/3
to be the best.

Personally i think 6 fighters are sufficient, anything more is over kill but i guess it
would allow you to send them quicker in more groups which will only require more micro
managing. If you can play well and micro manage you shouldn't need 8 to take control of
the skies.

I run 6 FP and 2 TB's (or 2 DB's), Medic and seaman in the gunner slots sounds like the
way to go.

Although you rarely use the bombers if you are concentration on supporting your team they
can come in handy especially if you are not using guns.
