red and blue planes, which will enable opening attack and the attack run in shelling phase. blue planes deal very high damage in opening attack if your side have air superiority, if not, you will lose lots of blue planes and very limited damage to the enemy.

 red planes also attack in opening phase but their damage is low and inaccurate. They give carrier higher damage bonus in shelling phase, and less vulnerable from enemy anti air unit

Carrier firepower, i am not sure, but it should buff your attack run in shelling phase.
