When MCS load AirForce,how to calculate how much MCS needed to prepare for?
there are so many type MCS.1000t,3000t,6000t...
there are so many type airforce,fighter,bomber,patrol...

Check the capacity rating of the ships. (A typical Allied MCS will have a capacity rating of 100.)
Then, each aircraft takes a number of points depending on the type. Off the top of my head, fighters take 20 points each, dive, torpedo, and medium bombers take 30 points each, and 4-engine bombers and transport planes take 40 points each.

Mind you, there is no reason to transport 4-engine bombers: they have enough range to fly nearly anywhere you want to go!

Cargo ship capacity is rated in cargo points.  Each fighter, dive bomber, and torpedo bomber uses 20 points.  Tac bombers and transport aircraft use 40 points.

AV capacity is rated in aircraft BUT that's only fighters, dive bombers, and torpedo bombers.  If you try to load a tac bomber group, only one aircraft loads.

So, an MCS with a capacity of 100 will load 5 fighters, dive bombers, or torpedo bombers, or 2.5 tac bombers.\

An AV with a capapcity of 15 will load 15 fighters/dive bombers/torpedo bombers, or one tac bomber.

Thanks very much.
