Late game large scale engagements seem pretty indecisive. Probably over three hundred ship heavy anti ship missiles fired and over 450 total planes shot down in wave after wave of ASM based air attacks for 7 sunk on one side and 12 on the other. Radar guided medium AA combined with a few missile countermeasure technologies seem to counter a decent number of missiles and even when they get through missile hits aren't as catastrophic as you might expect for a hit with a heavy SSM.

I think that's probably because they aren't modeling plane costs very well. Planes just get free respawns versus having a build lag. That works for WWII after a year to ramp up of the factories but I don't see that happening with more complex aircraft and on a shorter timescale. Losing that many planes and missiles would be a big hit to capabilities (see Yom Kippur War as an example).

when should I start phasing out torpedo bombers?

I think when you get missiles, but missiles seem to be rather weak in terms of killing stuff.
