I am pretty sure that the Tsus can stack their AACIs. I once lost about 48 bomber planes @ node W alone. Don't understimate node I either, that one always shoots down about 30-35 fighters. Regardless of engagement, friendly AACI. Even with carriers that all have 34 or more bombers in one slot, there was a possibility for them to get emptied. That is why I ran with 3 fighters + one bomber on each CV. If you use Zuihou Kai Ni (B) you could put her in your escort fleet and equip her with CVCI and a Saiun. Her planes won't be shot down on any node but the boss node. But this decreases your night capabilites as bringing Night Op. Personel is impossible in this instance leaves you with a poor Day attack power, or not bringing them sacrifices NBCIs completely. But I managed without it anyway.

Plane ranking is a waste of your resources IMO. just power through it. You can lose all your effort in one node anyway. Especially when you face both Tsus AND the CVL Kai flagships at node M.
