I got my Lv75 Akagi and stacked it with a ton of bombers, any worthy tactics for an
effective battle. I got TBs, but any tactics for DBs would do just fine.

yep thats true and i belive you are right he did get a medal for it, but infact backs up
bloodskys point rather then go against it. Border humping bombers is as moraly backwards
as sinking a ship overloaded with non combatants.

"It could be argued if border humping is a tactic, but its as legitimate of a tactic as is
blowing up a hospital ship. "

If I'm not wrong SN and Germany did it in WW2. If I'm not wrong soviet submarine captain
got medal for it.

30 Jan 1945 While evacuating civilians from East Prussia, Germany, German Navy hospital
ship Wilhelm Gustloff was sunk by Russian submarine S-13, taking somewhere between 5,000
and 10,000 lives

it could be said to be a legitimate tactic if it's the only way to avoid Tier 4 fighters if all
you have is Tier 1, 2 or Locals. or in this case, just TBs/DBs.

but that being said, no matter where you go on or off the map, you'll find fighters a
plenty looking for you.

As a bomberwhore, I strongly do not suggest border humping! It is just a disgrace. I'd
rather lose the game, than to use such low tactic. What you want to do in the
beginning would be to load your bombers fast (as in 2 planes/pilot) to get an early
advantage on your enemies. Go for CVs, mostly flagships. With the modern GB2s,
usually their flagship is at spawn staying stationary, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I think you can find lot's of useful tactics from tips and tactics section.
For db's best tactic could be border hump your db's and hit the cv's or bb's .
Less cv players put fighters to borders of the map.
Also my personal opinion try to hide your ship somewhere while or before launching your
db's. If i were an enemy cv seeing that you are launching your db's. i would send my
fighters directly to your db's(it doesn't matter if you send them from border or from
middle. i will find and kill the db's )

One direct salvo of a bb5 is equal to your 7 or 8 db's hit. So you shouldn't also forget
to help your team mates, if you really want to win the battle.

Personally my favortie for IJN DB CV would be the PCV or the Shinano IJN DB's actually
do a great deal of damage and they have more speed so if you want to be good at it
you need to take out the High tier CV's on the opposite team or they will do what I
would do to a DB whore, which would be to Fighter Camp you the entire game while
maintaining vision for my team.

Kill the enemy CVs first, once you start doing that, enemy CVs will be preoccupied with
trying to find your bombers and your BBs should be able to scout for themselves.
