I did a little bit of testing with OASW set-ups on Gambier Bay.

1. you need a total ASW stat of 65 and more

2. you need at least one plane with 7 ASW or more

3. the Liaison Plane and the Autogyro both enable OASW attacks even if they are the only planes with 7 or more ASW. No additional planes are needed for OASW attacks, if the basic requirement of 65 ASW is met.

I can't test yet, if she can attack with a loadout of either only Autogyros or only Liaison Aircraft. Other CVLs need an additional plane for the actual attack, but she was able to OASW with a combination of only Autogyro and Liaison Aircraft.

Please be aware, that a combination of Autogyro and Liaison ONLY enables OASW attacks. This will NOT enable her to attack subs during the shelling phase.

Recommendation:

A loadout of at least one regular plane (ideally with a high ASW stat) and Autogyro/Liaison Aircraft for the high ASW stat, enabling anti-sub attacks in the shelling phase and OASW at lower levels and increasing the damage for pure subhunting.

A loadout of several bombers with high ASW, one of them at least with ASW 7 and more, for a combined anit-sub/anti-surface approach.

A loadout of one divebomber, one torpedobomber and one fighter for a regular CV-Cut-In for pure anti-surface maps. With a high enough level and one plane with 7+ ASW this loadout is still capable of OASW attacks.

Have fun
