The total fighter power contributed by an air group as a whole is the '''SUM''' of the FP provided by all squadrons, multiplied by an additional bonus for recon planes deployed to the air group, such as recon seaplanes, carrier-based scouts (e.g. Saiuns and Keiuns), and flying boats.

The table above depicts the bonus conferred by a spotting plane

* The FP bonus conferred upon an air group applies only to the planes in that air group, not all intercepting squadrons
+
* When composing defense squadrons, it is therefore important to take into consideration the bonus a Saiun would add (i.e. 1.3 FP multiplier) against the additional FP of adding a fourth fighter group
