ORIGINAL: Lokasenna I allocated mine based on what I was doing. I was mostly operating in one place, so whatever CVs/CVLs were nearby were usually put into 2 TFs as they just ended up being "too many", by feel, for 1 TF. I don't think I'd put more than 700 a/c into 1 TF. Other than that, I'd do whatever I pleased. I tend to prefer concentrating my CVs into as few TFs as possible. The only risk in such cases is contact from surface forces. Roughly what size TF's are you running? I've generally been using smaller carrier task forces consisting of 12-15 ships. At this stage of the war is it best to run 25 ship task forces considering the greater threat from large numbers of LBA available? I know that only 15 ships in total are counted for AA value, unless something has changed. I like the idea of fewer task forces. Perhaps there will be less chance of uncoordination. It's not that they aren't counted after 15 ships, it's that only 15 ships contribute fully. After that, the returns diminish. I'd say somewhere around 20-22 ships? I usually go for somewhere around 70-80 ASW and then some dedicated AA ships (BBs with good AA suites if they can be spared, otherwise Clevelands and CLAAs). Really, all I do is take a standard 1942/1943 CV TF and add a couple of escorts and just keep stacking on the carriers. So 1-2 BBs, 2-5 CA/CL/CLAA, 8-10 DD, and then 5-6 CV plus 2-5 CVL...
