To respond to your question ljsevern.. (sry i only check fourms every now and again)
It is only a rare launch for me. Here is when i would do it:
(For my US cv, I run 2 dbs and 2 tbs with 4 fp. On my essex, i can only run 4 fighters, 2 bombers, and 1 tb on the support slots)
1st situation: All my fighters are shot down (rare), and all i have left is bombers. I run the 2 bombers pilots in 1 wave, and since I can only run 1 Tb on the CV4, I then ready the full TB group while the bombers go out.
2nd situation: (the vary rare one) My team's Cvs are fighter camping the hell out of the other team and i can just bomb. So i ready the 2 bombers send them out and if my TB's have to go more than half way across the map, I would ready the TBs all on 1 pilot (so i can catch up to the enemy). Otherwise i would ready fighters aswell. But still... it is rare for me to ready them all on 1 pilot like this... as I said before (other post) I usually can't run bombers due to my team's other cvs not working well.
So basically... I would only launch them on 1 pilot if my fighters where dead, or if my TB's have to go over half way across the map... (this gives me time to catch up before launching =p)
But that situation is only relevant to a few CV Classes... Anything over a CV4 should not be in that situation, therefore, they should not ready a full load of planes on 1 pilot. (I believe you can run a CV3 or a CV1 without running into that situation either... but i'm not sure, and it probably varies on what nation you are in.) Also it depends on how the player run's their set up... Some may not have this problem... I for one... usually dont. Im just giving a possible reason for why someone would launch all planes on 1 pilot on a CV4 or below.
This is why I only support putting the cap on anything over a CV4. (CV5, PCV, CV6) Plus... I'm not sure SDE would put the cap on the lower classes due to the support slots, and running into that situation of having to launch all on 1 pilot... ya know?
***I do have a question for you/ everyone though.... What CLASSES of CVs are you mainly seeing this launching of all planes on 1 pilot on? Mainly Higher or Lower classes?
Because I'm thinking the class of the CV does matter in this case... mainly due to the support slots on the CV. Also... not all players like to run their cvs the way that has been suggested. (the choice on how to run your ship/ CV comes into play here)
