AMC Raider with float planes, worth it?

[brygun]

Im testing out adding a couple of float planes, with sea plane hanger, onto an Armed Merchant Cruiser.


Im wondering if the raider ship duty is programmed to benefit from the float planes helping to locate victims. 

Similiar if the ship was put on Q-ship duty, to help spot subs.

Any one know for sure or have hints on it?

From the manual:

"Scout aircraft on ships:
Ships equipped with scout aircraft will be
more effective as raiders. They will also be
more effective at hunting raiders"

So probably more effective than if they don't have any aircraft on board? How much more effective is an interesting question.

"The ASW value of CV and CL will initially be
low, but will increase with development of
aerial depth charges and airborne radar.
AMC will have a limited ASW value during
the early period (as Q-ships)."

It isn't clear the situation for the AV though!

Thanks.

Suppose the math magical calculations are pretty hidden and will depend somehow on plane quality.
