Well, first I'm just going to agree with OneShot on this. If you're faced with an AAW ship, hit it with a submarine. Hit the ASW ships from the air.

That being said, I haven't put the BrahMos on any aircraft yet, although I will as soon as I read that the air-launched version has reached IOC. Right now the weapon that comes to mind is the Kh-31A, which is a miniaturized version of the SS-N-22. It's carried by Russian and Chinese Flankers. You're still better off using the more traditional approach of surface ships/SSGNs to hit a CSG, mostly because the aircraft AI is horrible. With either approach, saturation is key, and the designer is going to need to do a few tricks to maximize the # of missiles in the air at a time.

EDIT: And as TLAM mentioned, we'll have Su-34s armed with Alphas the next release.
