Re: 4 BB 2 CV vs 3 BB 3 CV

Either way, it largely comes down to luck: will your battleships survive until night battle without taking too much damage, and if they do, will they target the boss since the battleship hime is almost always still alive.

With two carriers, unless you've got superlative equipment you are forced to bring fighters in all your primary slots. This makes your two carrier slots basically dead weight when it comes to actually killing anything; they're just there to win you air superiority and provide high detection.

With three carriers, you can bring some bombers. I was able to bring four bombers and one fighter bomber and still get air superiority ever time; depending on your equipment you may be able to get away with more (or less). This lets your carriers help clear out the weaker enemies, and chip away at the boss a little.

Obviously the price you pay for this increased utility is one less battleship available for the night battle lottery.

Both ways work, and which one is better for you may depend on your fleet and equipment.
