Try looking at each nation's page on forums and look at their cv guides.

USN.

But if your willing to trade best fighters for a bit less suckier DB's,MN or KM.

Well USN fighters are the best and their Torpedo Bombers are second best damage wise... however be aware that USN torpedo bombers become AAW immune late compared to IJN or RN die to the lack od a national +2 bomber growth.

KM has pretty good bombers and strong fighters and MN is good at everything but great at nothing.

If you want great DBs you can go SN because their FPs seem good enough as well.

So... USN then?

In the past.........UK fighters, near bullit proof.

In the present .......... US fighters, one on one, they beat everything.

In the future .............. ??? , better check the Test forum, I feel there is a major change coming..........again.

IF you want Great Fighters and Bombers, Go KM. It has 2nd best Fighters @ T4 and 3rd Best DBs.

When looking at the best CV or for that matter the pilots you really have to first decide whether you would want to be a fighter or bomber whore.... fighter based is used primarily in HAs and BW's are mostly seen in GBs and such.

After determining which is more fun for you you have to look at the planes each nation uses, as well as the pilot abilities of each. Trying to level up to t4 fighters will take a long time, and im not going to go through the t1-t3 fighters, as at these levels the only way to compete is with the use of locals. Lets look at the planes.....

T4
US P-51 Durability 164, Defense 25, speed 660, sight 840, Offense 195
KM T1-152 164, 25, 650, 840 195
IJN ki84 174 20 660 790 190
MN VB-10C 168, 23, 655, 823 193
UK Tempest 169, 23, 650, 820 190
SN Yak-9 165, 25 658, 820, 195

So you can see the US fighters have the best speed, dfense, and offense of all the nations, albeit in ties with other nations. With the +2 added to the fighters ability when classing sailors, you can see why the US is so dominate in the CV wars with the fighters. Pretty much what the community has been saying ever since the KM fighter nerf 4 years ago. But the other nations arn't too far behind, and a lot will depend on the numbers of vets and experts you have as well. Not to mention boosting the pilots, being a must.

Now the Bombers.... Im not going to go into details i'll just give ya my opinion on the bombers...

The best DBs are the MN, and the IJN,, with the KM being third... while all the rest are very close some bad some not so bad.

The best TBs are the UK, and the US with the IJN being third... while the rest are all close at 4th. Bomb and torpedo damage is slightly different once you get past the top 3.

Also the IJN & SN bombers pilots get a +2 on bomber defense, so they can suffer less losses than most other nations. The nations with +2 with fighter ability are the US, KM, and MN nations.

If you looking to do bombing as a main objective... learning manual dbing and tbing would be advisable.

Anyway, that how i look at it and hope i provided you with some insight... if not well then i guess i wasted my time... LOL

none as they will all be tweaked sooner or later so unless you have for sight of what sde will do when ever it feels like, good luck. there have been many nations made to be better then a patch will come and make it the worst.

thats my opinion take it or leave it
