I missed that question about 411 and the calc..

Well, 411 because that just happened to be what your six best planes gave, and also don't forget that even with AS+ you will still lose some fighters(more so with AS), I'm too lazy to do the math specifically but your fp will degrade the deeper you go. With the 5 fighter and sauin, the fp values are close enough that you could slip to only AS on later nodes. Going with AS will whitle down your fighter and bombers much faster than with AS+ the whole way. You should try a few runs with the different values, see how it goes.

I'm pretty much always too lazy to math, so I opt for a margin of safety against the loss of AS+ when possible. I won't ignore the way battle actually plays out though, adjusting this and that untill I find that perfect fit or I get lucky and clear it anyway..

That calc is outdated. the AS values are correct so it is still usable but that popup is talking about this past winter, 6-4 is missing and so are seaplane fighters i think. worst of all is trying to max rank a plane in the last slot of a carrier at the bottom of the page... wtf.... I use aircalc.net

Also a part of the reason I picked those CA's is because they are among the best K2 CAs in the game, so using them and getting them xp is a good thing. Stat wise EliteCA they (in their kai version) are all so close to Atago that her stat advantages are negligible, where as the other CAs will make up the core of your CA force when K2'd so you should use them whenever you need CAs.
