Does anyone have some wisdom about IJN Guns and DP Guns use on CVs?

It looked to me like there was better Gun Space and Setups on the Hosho Line.
What IJN CV Gun Setups do you recommend and have enjoyed using?

Thanks IJNers

its a pretty good SS and rushing CA/CL/DD defense

I prefer 8 x Dual 6.1" Ds with heavy HE.

In Soviet Russia, CV humps YOU!

First of ally. Untill you at least hit CV4 Do NOT USE GUNS. Use the slots to train more
pilots.

As for CV guns... i find myself using 3.9" A the most. It has good damage against air good
reload and can use HE ammo.
The 5" looks nice but has lower damage against air and reloads way slower.

I was fooling around with 7.9" singles for a little but most IJN CVs dont have enough
slots to make it effective.

I would use 6.1" triples for the forward guns on Akagi nad Kaga most likely the D version
since when something larger than a CL comes anywhere close to you you are toast... guns or
not (there are exeptions but they are rare) but the extra reload helps in killing lesser
ships.

In short:
Generic CV - 3.9" A guns
Kaga/Akagi - 2x 6.1" + Hedge Hogs (be sure to take a FF escort... come on they are dirt
cheap and let you see subs).
