Known for hitting targets hard from destroyers to aircraft carriers, the dive bombers can both do high amounts of alpha damage as well as set fires. Midway's dive bombers are the stars of the show. They are a weapon that shouldn't be underestimated just because of her low damage per torpedo. Due to the torpedo bombers being slow to aim, players should start lining up their torpedo runs from a distance in order to minimize movement during the attack and to allow the torpedo bomber aim to narrow. The individual torpedoes are weaker than RN or IJN torpedoes and also aim significantly slower than them but the ability to land a high number of them somewhat compensates for this fact. Thanks to the repair consumable they can manage to make two runs on enemy battleships which can critically damage them. The torpedo bombers deal moderate damage with each attack dropping six torpedoes, which can deal very high damage to slow moving targets.

Whichever option to take depends on the player's preference players that prioritize eliminating destroyers should take HVARs, while players that focus on dealing large amounts of damage should take Tiny Tims. These rockets launch fewer rockets per attack with a slightly lower minimum distance, so it is easier to miss small targets like destroyers with these rockets. Tiny Tims are the hard hitters, with high penetration and high fire chance. HVARs have many rockets per run, however, HVARs have low fire chance individually and have low penetration, so these rockets are best used on soft targets. Players get the option between HVARs and Tiny Tims. There are two different types of attack aircraft to use, similar to Lexington. These squadrons can withstand more anti-aircraft power due to their increased tankiness and can even plow through the thickest of AA to launch attacks. While she has slightly fewer planes on deck compared to her Japanese counterpart Hakuryu, Midway's plane squadrons are smaller in size and have higher health per plane. Jack-of-all-Trades preset and parameters make her able to react to any threats quickly and counter them even if the original battle plan is falling apart. The pinnacle of the American aircraft carrier line, Midway is best suited for the flexible, fool-proof combat.
