1. The Trick you Quoted is usually something I will do when Meeting Halland in T8 CVs. Since it Costs Planes to Kill a Halland with a T8 CV. And its Annoying cause it Costs Time due to the Hallands Healing.   For the Halland to go Unspotted again during a Turn. He would need to Wait till I am 3.5km away again. Then Turn off AA again. But that would mean that during my Turn. Which is the Time in which I am inside his AA Range for the Longest Time. So basicly you would need to Scratch 4k Damage for each Turn from the Calculation above. Meaning if the Halland does that. He might go Unspotted in between indeed. However in Exchange I would also became Capable of Doing 4 Drops instead of 3. :)   If the Halland Keeps AA on. I will indeed remain inside 6km of him to keep him Spotted. However. Chances to be hit by Flak in a Turn are next to Zero. Flak Spawns arent very Accurate in Turns. And by Turning in again you will basicly be inside the Minimum Range again so no more Flak. As such. During the Turning the Flak is Pretty much Useless. Flak Generally only works on First Approach. Anything after that it will usually Spawn to the Sides cause it cannot predict Turning and thus be completely useless.     2. I see. So no Max Alt Drop. However. Carpet Bombers have Super Long Immunity Times thanks to them being Immune for the whole Dropping Animation. Which means you dont really need it either. RNG isnt relevant to this. Your Target is to use Immunity not Hit the DD. You do this in Spray and Pray Fashion. Any Hits are just Bonus. The point is keeping the DD Spotted. Albeit again. FDR doesnt really need to do this. It can Actively Bomb the Halland.     3. Nope. That Statement is Wrong. It can be Done by a Good CV Player regardless of the Hallands Skills. It can be Done by a Decent CV Player if the Halland is less Skilled. It can be Done by a Potato CV if the Halland is Potato.   And well. I merely Cut in because you said it wouldnt Happen. Its not a Secret that Potatoes can change alot of things.   As for the likeliness of the Halland to be Killed. Thats not really Necessary. Dont forget you can do that each time if you want to.   And there is the other thing. If you Attack DDs like that. You should usually do it while he is either in Range of Teammates or in Combat with a DD of your Team. The biggest Threat a CV can Pose to a DD. Is to Spot and Attack that DD when he is in a Forward Position where he Threatens your DDs or other Ships. Because his Threat relies on him being Concealed and thus be able to Attack from unknown position without being Attacked himself. You attacking him Ruins that 3 Fold. Because: You Spot him so your Team can Shoot at him. You Prevent him from Evading incoming Fire and Change course to Retreat because that makes him Predictable for a Drop. Thus putting him to a Choice if he wants to get hit by you or your team. And You make his Location and thus Angle of Attack known to your Team. So his possibly already Fired Torps can be Expected by your Team.     This is a Common Scenario. And you should actually try to do that whenever you can. Because Attacking an Enemy DD that is about to Clash with your DD. Gives your DD a Tremendous Advantage because he can Attack that DD without the Enemy DD being able to Respond properly. The same goes for you. The Enemy DD will be hard Pressed to Fight an Enemy DD while also Evading your Attacks. So you become much more likely to Score Big Hits.         1. Nope. Didnt Forget it. Simply Ignored it. Because the Question is. If its Possible to do 3 Drops and Spot Halland for 2 Minutes. Not if its Possible that Halland can Prevent it.   Halland wont have Def AA Available at all times. :) So assuming it to be using DFAA by Default would not make Sense. After all. Even if Halland used it for the First Squadron. FDR could Send a Second Squadron to do the 3 Drops and 2 Minutes Spotting then.   2. Now. I never Noticed much of a Difference when someone used DefAA. So I cant tell you on that. According to the Stats it only Increases Damage. But I rarely get hit by Flak at all. So I dont really know.   3. I would not be aware of this. But even then it wouldnt make much of a Difference.
