Sonlirain	I have a Level 64 CV BO (Ryujo) I used to use 2 FP 2 DB Machine gunner and Seaman. Also 2 gunners in R slots along with cannons. Later on (as i got a bit wiser) i decided to raise a medic (14 base) and additional 2 fighters. (Creating a Sub and BB crew in the process. Also the gunners from the CV found a good use. Now my setup looks like this 4 FP 2 DB Medic and Seaman in R slots. Now im in a sort of bind. I could use: T2 fighters with my older pilots and ditch locals/T1 but will only be able to use 2 FPs since the 2 new ones are way below the required level (both at 43) Or take locals so i can use all pilots to intercept enemy planes. And of course T1 that WILL get blasted out of the sky by just about anything but can be used to scout and kill some slower bombers and scouts (and i can take twice as many compared to locals).

DeathAddict	@coolestguy You said in Quote* Well i just played a game against a pcv who had lvl 117-120 FP's and my locals (lvl 77) chewed up a lot of his fighters. I never won the dog fights but i did take down 50- 70% of his fighters each dog fight. That says it all right there. I don't care what lvl your FP's are, my locals are a powerful force and should be used till lvl 80-90 at least for the simple reason's You win your dog fights You lose almost no experts or officers ever. Good bye thread. * How can you be sure they are really lvl 117-120 Fighters? And what are the Stats of these fighters?

As8s	@ cool, I usually sweep out the scouts on my side before engaging on the enemies side. That and with the CL/CA hybrid's running locals and an aboundance of AA running around most games its not hard to keep the enemy blind. Also my T2/T3's are engaged with local's it gives my team sight. Yeah I might lose a couple here and there against most local's but I am keeping the fight over the enemy. Granted it takes skilled BB's to take advantage of this but when I am paired with the right BB's it makes the game a cakewalk.

coolestguy	@ As8s. In regards to your (your bb's are blind remark) You need to read the thread m8. Try the first page, i mention this several times. Flaming maybe? @Hasley I just said i fought BVE 117-120 FP's what in the world makes you think i care about your lvl 60's? I know for a fact now that no FP is a threat to my locals.

Hasley	well i hate to say it but my lvl 60-64 FPs can chew up locals(with the loss of some planes) and can kill some T3s while im in T2s. now granted my ftrs are boosted and experted and i am probly fighting bad ftrs. Who knows though. Regards, Hasley

As8s	And while your using your locals fighting right above your own BB's: A- The Enemy get's vision of your BB's and can shot them. B- Your BB's are blind and have to fight as such. i'll take my regular fighters lose a few to local's (not that many) and give my team sight so they can see and kill.

coolestguy	ok so a bit about my liking locals b/c i can see some of you like the T 3 fair enough. Just b/c your in a T3 dosnt mean your good, its all about lvl, bve, and seaman. Which i dont have, i have low lvl 75 FP not bve and a seaman in the making. So as you can see locals are the way to go, i can launch at and squad of fighters (and out number them by the way) and not have to worry what lvl my FP's are. I chew them up and keep my side of the map blind to the enemy. I just dont like using a T3 where i will lose a lot of dog fights, loss vets, and not damage the enemy squads of fighters. Thats why for now i use locals. Just dont thing the t3 is any good. Oh yeah and my CV 6 and up fleetmates told me lvl 75 are sticks and apart from shooting down bombers there no good.

DeathAddict	Locals are not that bad. But when you reach tier 3 lvl fighters you dont need e'm. I've done testing with 2 lvl 77 IJN Fighters 10+ Base v=40+/e and their not that bad with the Tier 3s. Even though any local can kill me if I decide to battle I can still outrun e'm. IJN= Fastest fighters. It all depends on your skill people, seriously.
