IMHO, fighting 1 on 1 a 'big wing' that also has superior numbers is a lose/lose situation, especially if they can disengage simply by climbing away or running you out of fuel. Beating zeroes handled by talented aviators is a great adrenaline rush, but the only way to hurt the axis this frame is to find and destroy the Kates. It takes away points from them (2 sorties of targets) and adds to ours. I believe this should be the focus in the next frame, especially since the ack (hopefully) will be actually shooting (only saw the 88's popping off in Frame I) and may deter zekes from strafing.
Therefore, I believe with good coms, once the B5Ns are located (They simply won't use D3As, the 'biggest payload' mentality), waves of attackers should work if allowed to get speed and dive in.
Hopefully, the thousands of people on the island should be able to see aircraft and report them in so we can get some donkey dar in this frame
