Should I use bombs or torpedo?
If the former, then what would be the minimum payload required (in kg)? And should I also destroy USS Porter or ignore her?
Aircraft used: T18B

you need multiple big torpedos OR multiple really big armour piercing or semi armour piercing bombs OR a REALLY big HE bomb like the Lancaster 12000lber - and even then it may require 2.
T18B has nowhere near the required firepower/payload.
Go for the Destroyers instead. They require much less, but even then I think T18B wont be enough.

One should of course be wary of AI ships, any named vessel are using player vessels & have nasty AI accuracy, those Porters even with just default shells are accurate for the 5"/38 cannons (ehhh forgot how accurate they’re, losted a few Mosquitoes to them in sea skimming attacks), a SAAB 18 will be able to counter one flying at alt or in a high angle dive outside the arcs of the 5"/38 cannons (they’re Low Angle cannons) but you should iirc have a 2000 metre bubble from the 1.1" LAA, stay above that an you’ll be “safe”.
Lucky the devs take pitty on aviators, if they gave ARB the Restigouche class Destroyer, everyone’s life would suck heh.
But a SAAB 18 will sink a Porter class in one pass with one large bomb especially if you hit above magazines, the Lexington class OP should just forget about it.
