This strategy of mine has been consistent from Tier IV to Tier VII. I don't find them to be as hard-hitting as torpedo bombers but sometimes I am able to get a satisfiable amount of damage as long as some fires. I switch to bombers and attack fighters while my torpedo bombers are reloading.

My main strategy is to use torpedo bombers most of the time since they are able to deal the most damage on enemy ships. Is this supposed to happen? I'm not always reading CV posts since most of them seem to be repetitive arguing or ranting, but I've also read and heard from places where Tier VI was the best tier of a carrier since Tier 4 cannot deal sufficient damage while Tier 8 and Tier 10 planes don't last long under any sort of anti-air fire, while at least early on some people were saying that these carriers couldn't be dealt with easily. In all scenarios, I found that my planes don't last long at all. I've tried many attack runs against ships of many types such as cruisers, destroyers and battleships, both escorted and lone ships. The heal pack for the torpedo bombers help significantly to allow a single attack run off against a heavily defended ship, but it always isn't available. My planes get incinerated left-right-and center even if I enter an AA bubble for a few seconds. In the Furious, some ships had respectable anti-air which would destroy my bombers if I lingered around too long but generally I could get 1-2 attack runs off before being shot down or having to recall my planes. In the Hermes I had absolutely no problem with anti-air as most planes I met had none at all or very little, allowing me to get off all my attack runs. I don't find carriers particularly hard to play, but for me they don't seem to rack up as much damage as quickly as a battleship or cruiser. I have played a handful of matches in the Hermes and Furious, getting a decent amount of WR and SR in them as well as somewhat average damage values. My planes got incinerated and ripped apart even by ships that I previously didn't consider having strong anti-air.

Recently I got the Implacable which is pretty nice and I tested it in a Co-Op and Random battle.
