Today we are taking a look at pulling some bits we've learned from Fleet Tactics and Fighting the Fleet to show the importance of firing effectively first. To demonstrate this we are launching all our available strike aircraft in a compressed schedule and sending 109 aircraft from our two carriers USS YORKTOWN and USS LEXINGTON to sink three Japanese aircraft carriers.
Of course launching a massive amount of planes takes some thought around the scheduling so we discus my order of operations for launching aircraft and put it to the test doing a 2 vs 3 challenge. In Fleet Tactics if we get off and underway with our strike first before the enemy carriers launch, we are guaranteed 2 carrier kills. If we don't beat the Japanese Navy to the first punch we are essentially doomed. Three enemy carrier air wings is enough to absolutely demolish TF-17.
