For air supremacy you need to have about 3 fighters for every 2 enemy bombers. From your post I'd think it was the other way around.

Also send an Akkan with your flak units, since then the flak units will have a little more range and chance to hit.

The same amount of fighers cannot take out the same amount of bombers.

If you are facing 50 bomber wings and you have 50 figher wings, the bombers will only be destroyed after the bomber carrier has run out of AM to replace them. Which takes several minutes. In the meantime, most stuff those bombers do hit is dead.

Fighters are only interesting if you have a significant numerical advantage. Which is ironic.... realistically one should need much more bombers to penetrate a fighter screen, not the other way arround.

Hmm? So you deploy 100% fighter compositions viably? How does this work? Does it scare people into switching and thereby avoid bombers by virtue of deterrence? Or is it actually super-effective in straight-up combat against bomber compositions (at 50+ squadrons per side)? I would imagine you'd have to use it in consort with flak burst / telekinetic push / jam weapons to prevent them thar horde of bombers from taking out a capital ship or two.

Also, Guardians? Those don't do anything to strikecraft.

Furthermore, I don't see 100% fighters being very great for Advent or Vasari because then they don't have anything very effective against starbases.

I personally prefer fighters late game as well...they are best late game counter to corvettes (flak just melt to titan AoEs and are useless for focus firing), they can rake in XP against bomber spam, and (unlike corvettes) can still focus fire on SBs or caps with lethal AoEs (like MB, mass disorientation, RB, etc)...there are times when bomber spam or corvette spam would be ideal, but in general I think fighters are your safest bet...

If you do carrier vs. carrier fights, the bombers will outperform the fighters...but you have to figure that realistically, a player is probably focusing their bombers on a cap, titan, SB, or key support item (like a repair bay or guardian) and not the carriers...so in practice, if your SB/cap/titan can survive the bomber swarm long enough for the fighters to whittle down the enemy SC, it really is essentially free XP...

The trick is surviving the bomber swarm...Vasari are at an advantage here because of overseers and kortul spam (with JW)...Advent and TEC have a harder time, especially Advent vs. Vasari bombers....AR and TL have a leg up since their titans have abilities that directly impact survivability, AL and TR are in the worst position for this and basically have to bank on Kol/Halcyon spam...

And btw, repulsion doesn't affect SC so I don't see how that lends to Advent being good at countering bomber spam...maybe you mean something else....

Its for ninjaing unsuspecting titans or cap ships sin, hardly anyone rolls in with mass bombers vs fighters any more though, it just doesnt happen and super easy to counter.
