Honestly, I save my scouts till I absolutely need them. Such as early game while fighters are loading, and end game when all cvs are dying. Fighter camped is the only problem I have with scouts and the inability of their use. I've AA sooo much that anytime I use planes, I make sure I can keep them alive long enough to do something about them dying (Shoot AA boat, Bombing target, or simply fall back). Most of the days Scouts can be pointless but they have critical points where you MUST have them.
