The rule of thumb for air-combat is to always equip enough fighter (green plane) to at least gain Air superiority and if you wish...supremacy (although Air supreriority does enough job and getting to ASupreme is a pain sometimes.

For your case, you will ALWAYS lose a lot of planes if enemy has a carrier. Always have a green plane on you to fight against enemy's carriers if they are present in the map. If not (or you're grinding 3-2-A or 2-4-A then you're free to not add them).

Equip your strongest fighter plane to Akagi's 32 slot since # of plane is significant in the caculation. If you don't have enough Air power yet then add another fighter plane to Souryuu's highest slot and if still not reach Air suprority then keep adding although I'm sure just the first two will fill the quota.

After that you can add your bomber (red plane) or torpedo (blue plane) but I usually go with 1 of each. However, if I have Sauin (yellow plane) I'll put it in my lowest plane slot to prevent T disadvantage.

For information about Air Combat, Air Power for enemy and you visit the Combat page. Unless you use KCV then there's a calculator for that for you.

BBs are as Dustfan said.
