i found the best way to use the raptors are to use them for farming, taking out sycle bases, giant and large deposites, and in events like the  archangle cumming up when you need to take out a specific target fast. simply send them in but target the CC first if your farming, it should take 3-5 passes determen on there and the base levels. with deposits all you need to do is find where they will come from on the map then call them in and target the closet anti-air unit/turret, go for a turret first bc they have more health and can do more damge over time if you only go for the defending units. but heres where its important as soon ass you see you raptors get close to there target end the attack, they should still drop there payload and do damage while at same time only taking small amounts of damage. then go back to base and repair them you should be able if your airfeild is maxed to instant repair them all at once or just do one at a time makeing you able to spam them back and forth. but make sure as you do this stick to one side of the enemy base and pick them off bit by bit only hitting AA capable targets. aslo you can all but ignore flack tanks/turrets bc they cannt really hit the raptor but they will get a lucky hit every now and then leaving little damage to your units. after taking all the AA defences out the rest is cake in all you need to do is call your guys in and let them fly around killing everything over time. also aim for a turret next to a unit if you want to do more damge to that unit, bc the raptor does more dame buildings not infantry or vehicles so the splash is more. and dont for get to take out bunkers as well they will be a pain if you leave them be. and to answer if you should keep them 8 or go for 11 i say 11 bc i never loose raptors with this stratogy so a little more time isnt a big dill to me but more health and damge is very nice itll make what i do that much faster and easier. hope this helps you out and any newer people thinking the same as you
