Fighter bomber Ratio?

 

Okay, so when you build a carrier fleet, how many bomber and how many fighters do you build. 50/50? 70% bombers/ 30% fighters? Do you use different strategies with different races? What tech do you research to make fighters and bombers more effective?

When building hangers, ratio do you use? 50/50? 70/30?

Hi.

 

I use 50-50% when the opponent has strong strike craft capacity (even higher ratio of fighters when I start building strike craft significanty later), if I am the superior one and I dont need to field large amounts of fighters, then I start to increase number of bomber squads. Against AI it was not unlikely for me to have even 80% bombers and only 20% fighters. Bombers in general are better against more things than fighters, a large bombers swarm can easily remove titans, structures, starbases, capital ships and even cruisers at ease.

 

I dont think there is a huge difference between races, same e ratio goes everywhere. If not, someone will correct me I guess later.

 

If your opponent has a large amount of corvettes and it is becoming annoying you should have more fighters to kill those easily.

 

For strategical structures (starbase, hangar bays) I tend to build more fighters, those are better I think for defense. They are good VS siege ships and bombers, and an assaulting fleet is very likely to have them.

 

Against humans I have no idea, haven't played multi in ages so I have no idea what composition is considered effective against a more skilled player.
