^ Take any encounter with Re with a (lot of) grain of, she is "RNG wants to fuck you with a thousand-hands middle finger" given form.

Reducing your air power to make way for bombers does help in ways of reducing the number of things your ships have to face before any of your girls can (try) to shut Re up (or fail trying) when you encounter her, and facing her in Line Abreast of all things is the worst thing I can imagine doing when you want to survive her.

Of course, air power has nothing to do with her ability to insta-fuck your girls with opening torpedoes so over here the only hope for that is for your airstrike and/or node support to send her back into Davy Jones' locker before she can even blink. But it does give you enough to deny her bombers to have her way against your fleet (somewhat).

If you must try to be defensive according to your intuition I'd at least try to face her in Double Line.

Now, for even more commentary regarding your fleet:


 * I believe you should not be arranging your bombers as such (anyone would be able to tell that those bombers in your CV/Ls are in pretty bad spots) just to fulfill the fighter power requirement.


 * I was not really able to identify what those fighters are apart from the Shiden K2 you have, what are they and why are they arranged as such? As far as names are concerned there are more than one type of fighter plane that starts with "Type 0 Fighter Model..." If some of these are the basic Type 0 Fighter Model 52 then I suppose you would do better by replacing them with the Shiden K2s because they have better air power.


 * Bombers should be taking up your CV/Ls' two largest slots (blue in the largest, red in second largest) and the rest of your fighters should be able to use the other slots with no problem; unless by doing so you risk losing enough needed air power but I do not think you are short of fighters to use on the smaller slots.

Apart from these I figure your fleet is as good enough as it is already. Also for insurance: Run node supports if you haven't already. You might think that it's a waste of sorts and they do little to help, but in some critical cases it can prove contrary to that.
