in my case, blue planes does do more damage than red in the opening strike, but it's more like hitting big damage or completely missing the target. somehow allows CVs to target fortress bosses during battle. red planes exchanges massive damage for a higher chance to hit in the opening strike. during shelling, red planes does more damage though.

I tend to have my carriers this way: green on largest slot, blue on next largest, red on second smallest and yellow on smallest. if there's another carrier carrying yellow already, i put a Fighter/Bomber (more AA and Bomber ATK) or Skilled Maintenance Crew (for attack range) on the smallest slot.

for example: i'm running Kaga and Taiho on 5-4

Taiho: Reppu (30), Suisei Egusa (24), Tenzan Tomonaga (24), Saiun (8)

Kage: Ryusei Kai (20), Suisei 12A (20), Reppu Kai (46), Type 62 Fighter/Bomber (12)
