CVS Strike sortie capacity

The CVS does have a limited weapons store, but it normally sails with an RFA which has lots of weapons on board, so this is a non-issue.

A CVS can operate 22 fixed wing types if the helo overhead is moved to an RFA as is normally the case.

This means you could have a full squadron of mud-movers and a AD strength of 10 FA2s. That is a perfectly adequate capability most most types of brush fire encounters. CVF will probably operate a standard airgroup of 24 aircraft, but these will have a far greater range/capability.
