Talk:Type 0 Fighter Model 63 (Fighter-bomber)/@comment-3174905-20170608181422

not sure why so many people decided to debate over this issue.

it's just plain simple, this plane have it's uses as the same with iwamoto fighter bomber. The main point out of people thinking it is useless or not, it's all based in how much baux they have.

obviously you can burn baux inorder to give your CVL or CV the ability to do damage in opening phase as well as shelling phase while still provide air superiority.

The only obvious thing is can you withstand the burn of baux or not. This game its about RNG, let's say you're in final node boss fight. Giving the CVL or CV the ability to do damage will allow you to have better odds at sinking the boss and clear the event, at the cost of more baux, if you're willing to pay or you have loads of baux.

The reason why so many people think it's useless is because of how the enemy AA works, as long as you have a torp/dive bomber, you're increasing the lost of not only your torp/dive bomber plane but also your fighter plane, as it will enable enemy AA to shoot down your plane(not just dive/torp plane, it includes fighter plane) increasing your bauxite lost per run. There's also the problem of trying to maintain air superiority because due to increased plane count lost per node, some players might have problems on obtaining air superiority.

Long Story Short : You have better odds when you reach boss in a ideal situation, you have less odds on the way to boss(one of the retreating reasons will be too much plane count lost, no air superiority)

PS : It's not like people not giving a deep thoughts about it, to be honest. This is something like "High Risk High Return", you risk of having more retreat and having to spend more resource, but you have better ods if you reach boss in ideal situation. cons and pros.
