|This is the standard airstrike support setup. Because torpedo bombers have the best airstrike damage, it is best to just stack them. The fighter is along to help with air control and reduce the bomber losses. It is not recommended to run airstrike support with more than 1 fighter because it's better running shelling support when encountering that much enemy airpower.

|There isn't any fixed setup for ASW support. Just put the planes with the highest ASW stat into the largest slots (see [[:Category:ASW Aircrafts|ASW Aircrafts]]). Fighters can be included if facing some '''surface battles''' with enemy airpower.

This support exists to prevent using too many light cruisers and destroyers for cheap support. It appears as a torpedo strike with very low accuracy.
