Should we be careful?

WWII carriers carried what? 60-90 fighters?

Think this goes back to what you like, Heavy armed and armoured carriers
with 3-4
fighter groups or Lightly armed and armoured carriers with 6+ fighter
groups.

It's quite a dilemma I'm quite fearful of bringing a carrier with only 4
fighter groups just so as I can have 3 or so class 2 batteries. After the
fighters are gone you are left with a ship the size of a battleship (or
bigger) with the fire power of a Destroyer.

My carriers are carriers. Lots of fighters and very little else.
