I actually use BBVs every now and then, I think they are quite handy.

However your comparison with fighter-bomber is rather bad.

The formula for fighterpower is quite simple, you take the root from the slotsize, multiply that with the fighterstrength and floor the result, that's the fighterpower for that slot.

When you compare the Zuiun with +2AA and a Type 62 with +4AA that means you need twice the value from the slotsize you placed the Zuiun in to get the same fighterpower.

So when you take BBVs with 10(Fusou-class) and 11(Ise-class) planes per slot that's a value of 3.1 respectively 3.3 for the slot and with the Zuiun's +2 AA that makes a fighterpower of 6 for both of them like Yuuka said.

On the other side you would only need a value of 1.5 when multiplied with 4 to get that fighterstrength. If you place a Type 62 in a slot with 4 planes that already results in a fighterpower of 8. A CV usually only has one that low slot and you're going to stuff a scoutplane in there or some other equip maybe. If you use a Type 62 in a slot with 18 planes that's already a fighterpower of 16, so nearly three times the fighterpower a Zuiun on a BBV has.
