Historically speaking, AA guns were threat to torpedo bombers throughout WWII. In order to not allow the target ship to avoid torpedoes and to ensure hit, torpedo bombers must fly as close as possible to the target - and to ensure that the torpedo works properly once they hit water, the bomber usually fly low and level, which make them more vulnerable to AA fire.

If we are to believe everything that the combat animation says, then carrier only launches three aircrafts per phase.
