| + | ''' Taking out the [[Heavy Cruiser Princess]]''' |
| + | |
| + | During the phase of the operation you won't be able to take any of your AVs or [[Akitsumaru]] to this map segment. So you will either be depending purely on an Anti-Air Cut in and/or on an Aviation Cruiser loaded with Seaplane Fighters to help pull the weight through the battle. |

| + | '''Example Composition:''' |
| + | |
| + | ''' 2CA(V), 1CL, 4 DD''' (Historical Fleet ['''Shima Fleet''' preffered] members required Easy - 2 , Normal - 3, Hard - 5) |
| + | |
| + | Keep in mind that your fleet will need to have the historical members along with 4 DDs if you wish to complete most of the map's requirements for this segment. |
| + | |
| + | The fights will mainly invovle carrier battles which will invovle hoping for a strong AACI to take out most of the threats while also dealing with whatever is thrown at you, consider bringing an [[LBAS]] to help protect or defend you during these segments. |
| + | |
| + | Most of the surface nodes will also feature strong enemy units which you have to force your way through and since they may pose a threat to your fleet, it's best to consider Vanguard formation to try to get past these sequences with the pre-boss node possibly featuring a submarine in the mix. |
| + | |
| + | While it's possible to get through all of this, consider using a shelling support fleet if needed for the in-route path. |
| + | |
| + | The boss node will feature a [[Heavy Cruiser Princess]] who will come with some Nu-class CVL, a few heavy cruisers and some Destroyers among her fleet. Using an [[LBAS]] along with boss support is preferred to soften the damage you'll take from other units since you may lack in a means of obtaining AS should the Nu-class CVL survive the LBAS strike. The fight itself is however manageable and members of the '''Shima Fleet''' get a '''historical post cap bonus''' (except [[Abukuma]], [[Shiranui]] and [[Aoba]]) allowing for a much easier victory. Ships such as [[Ashigara]], [[Nachi]], [[Ushio]] and [[Hatsushimo]] (to name a few) will be vital to clearing the operation. |
| + | |
| + | Do Note however there is '''No Friend Fleet''' for this segment. You will need to depend on your fleet's power to complete the operation. |
| + | |
| + | The final kill's composition doesn't change drastically so using the same methods can work, but if needed, shift both LBAS over to the boss node if you feel you can manage all the node prior to it without loosing too many DDs or vital Shima members. |
| + | |
| + | '''Recommended LBAS''' |
| + | |
| + | '''2 Fighters, 2 Land Base Bobmers''' (1 Land Base, Distance needed 4-5 needed for nodes N and P) |
| + | |
| + | Both of these nodes can present some difficult fights which the fleet will need to survive, so if needed send 1 LBAS to one or both of these nodes to help improve your chances of survival. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | '''1 Fighter, 3 Land Base Bombers''' (1-2 Land Bases, Distance needed 6 needed for Boss Node) |
| + | |
| + | Since the boss mainly consist of just some Nu-class Light carrier, it's possible to brush by using only one fighter while maintaining most your bombers to do some damage. If possible, hope that the Land Base bombers hit the Nu-class Carriers to minimize or eliminate any air attacks and if you have a CAV, possibly achive AS in the battle when the aerial sequence begins. You may want to bring both LBAS on the final kill to improve the likely hood of your chances of winning the fight. |
