Carriers - Deck Arrangements

[DamdIfINo99]

Looking for an optimal set up for my main battle fleets' carriers:

Main Battle Fleet: 5 CV

What's a good all-around arrangement that would cover these areas:

1) Naval Warfare Squadrons

2) Shore Bombardment

3) Inland/Island CAS

4) Combat Air Patrol (Fleet CAP)

Considering how AI can't properly produce planes, I'd say that the perfect deck arrangement is having 100% planes on deck That would be perfect for AI navies to have. On a serious note, it depends on a country, ship designer company, economy, usage.

Pacific fleet designer gives +25% deck size, allowing ~90 plane lvl 3 CVs. I, personally, improve them with +1 deck size and get 92 plane CVs. Historical USN setup for 90 plane carrier would be 36/36/18 (F/DB/TB). I add extra two TBs and call it a day. On older CVs, I try to go for 50% fighters + 35% dive bombers + 15% torpedo bombers. But then again, I don't play multiplayer and have no idea how would it work against a potent enemy.
