Glad it helps someone :)

To answer your questions:

> "I see your point of equipping Recon/Fighter in the first slot, however, does it make difference if you equip bomber before fighter on 2nd/3rd/4th slots?"

Losses for the 2nd slot is usually light (1 plane, very rarely 2) compared to the 1st slot (easily 3-4 if base has single digit hp left).

Sqrt(16)/Sqrt(18)=0.9428 ie ~6% loss of power so it's really your call. Just bear in mind that shuffling planes within the base doesn't cost you anything, only locks the plane in for 12min before it can be transferred out.

> "can't the first slot of LBAS also give critical rate bonus which happens for carriers?"

I am not aware of the 1st LBAS slot giving critical bonus under normal situation and therefore didn't consider it. Will have cirnogasm if it does :D

For carriers, the bonus applies to both opening strike and shelling phases iirc.

> "2- While this seems less worth for only 2 LBAS, when you can sortie 3 (or more in the future) LBAS, do you think it is worth to use one of the LBAS in defensive mode instead of sortie mode?"

Depends on the map. It's that question I ask myself frequently: "can my fleet deal with the boss without LBAS?" If the answer is yes (or close enough), I'd normally put one base on Defense and only sortie 2 bases (most recent example is Spring 2017 E5H pre-LD runs). For LD I normally go all out (3 bases Sortie).

You can still save rsc even if 1 base doesn't get you perfect defense (remember the hidden sortie cost).

> "Once again thank you very much for your time writing this blog, it would be great if it was possible to at least quote the link in the official LBAS page on the wikia"

You're most welcomed :)

I'm not sure how the QA process works here and whether this blog is up to standard to be in the LBAS texts. I'll probably post a comment on the official LBAS page so that people are aware that this article exists kek
