heres the difference between bombers of each race.
when I said more bombers in the above picture for advent, I was refering to only squadrons coming out of the carrier/hanger.
general things that apply to mass bombers (not just bombers deployed from a cap):
vasari:
1) within cultural influence vasari bombers can do 7+ damage each, which means that per squadron they do around the same damage as advent bombers.
2) vasari bombers fully teched have 30% chance to bypass the shields, they can kill caps extremely fast.
3) within range of the cap carrier they can be healed and at the same time blink around avoiding damage or even getting faster to their targets.
advent:
1) notice how drone hosts have no shields and the bombers don't, which is a a really bad thing for a race based mainly on shields.
2) with the aura from the cap dreadnought they can do a lot more damage (~27 per squadron).
many people think advent is all about bombers since the advent can get it much earlier so many more players used it and thus a misconception begun.
So here's the interpreted stats for cruiser carriers:
___________________________________________
Vasari Lasurak Transporter - 3 bombers
Total build time = 90 seconds
Total attack = 18 Phase Missile
Total hp = 420
Total armor = 15
Special Abilities:
- 10%, 20%, or 30% chance to pierce shields and hit target hull directly. The probability of piercing shields increases with better technology.
- Chance to penetrate shields increases by 25% with support from a Subverter cruiser.
- 7.6 Phase Missile attack per bomber when operating in same cultural influence.
___________________________________________
Advent Aeria Drone Host - 7 bombers
Total build time = 126 seconds
Total attack = 21 Beam
Total hp = 525
Total armor = 7
Special Abilities:
-Damage boosted to 4 per bomber with Rapture Battlecruiser's Concentration Aura.
___________________________________________
TEC Percheron Light Carrier - 5 bombers
Total build time = ?
Total attack = 15 Missile
Total hp = 500
Total armor = 10
Special Abilities: nothing

You haven't mentioned the build times for the bomber wings, just the carriers.
The TEC seems to really have been beaten at this carrier-cruiser game. They have the weakest, most basic equipment with the Percheron. The Advent are, of course, the strongest with their drone bombers, but the Vasari aren't far behind either with their silver-bullet bombers. Since weapon techs give % bonuses, the Vasari would close in on the Advent to an extent with higher tech levels because they deal twice the base damage per bomber. Whatever numerical gap is left with max weapons tech would just be filled in with the Phase-attack advantage.
As for capital carriers, the Advent supercarrier can hold an extra squadron for a total of 5 squads. That leaves them with a significant numerical advantage, but rebuilding a wing would take longer if flak shoots 'em up.
The Vasari supercarrier has 2 special abilities. One of them gives their strikecraft the ability to teleport in order to save time and dodge attacks, and fully repair themselves in case they get damaged. The abilities would give them an edge against flak frigates, and they can rebuild faster than the Advent squadrons can.
The TEC supercarrier also has a powerful ability - at Level 6, it can instantly rebuild strikecraft if they get killed. But apart from that, it's bombers are still plain weak.
