so finally got into the Hosho, or however its spelt, the first jap cv. 1 AA squadron and 2 torp squads, each squad is 4 planes. The American cv however uses squads of 6, but they only get 2 out at a time instead of 3. This is, alteast the rule for the tier 4 cv's, and it seems, that everytime im playing against an American CV, he just smashes my planes, out of the sky so easily.
Id like to get into a higher tier so i can see these different carrier doctrines you can have, because everygame now ive played with higher tiered cv's, they fly nothing but AA, and it just seems kind of anti-fun. So you wipe out the enemy cv's planes, but then once done, you have no way of doing what the enemy cv was trying to do in the first place, so you become useless, hence, you ruin your game and anothers.
If anyone knows btw how the hell to launch more of one type of plane, thatd be great, i assume you can only have what they give you out(1 AA, 2 torps on jap, rather then 2 AA, 1 torp). But to me, it just makes sense that if i can communicate with 3 squadrons, i could launch my reserve planes to help protect my single torp squad better. Or fight off the torp planes pooing all over me because a single American squad of AA buttrapes my 2 squads sent out at separate times.
Oh and it seems once your AA planes are fighting another, they are stuck like fucking glue in the air, they cant retreat at all, so they just die, which is kinda gay. So easy to wipe jap squads of AA out of the air.
