Fighters/Bombers: Put them in 1 group, or "layer" them?
Greetings captains.
How do you organize your fighter wings? Putting 8 fighters in 1 group is easier to replace/manage but a layered setup seems to be more useful in making sure you concentrate targeting/firepower in small groups without ending up overkilling a single target.
The timelines carrier fleet mission starts off with many squadrons setup in a layered setup and i found it to be quite cool, though the UI does not exactly make it easy to keep an overview.
