Most fleets here are not entirely tied to '''Pearl Harbor''' except for [[Hamakaze]], [[Isokaze]], [[Hatsushimo]], and [[Kasumi]]. So you decide to choose among members of Ten-Go for this operation, please consider the fact that these ships along with other key TCI ships Yukikaze may also become more vital for later EO operations.

*It's possible to use a CAV instead of a CVL, but it is probably preferable to save them for EOs considering how few of them there are in the game at the moment. (Note: Written prior to release of EO maps.)

*See Routing Rules for the number of Surface Radars required to pass the pre-boss check.

**Alternatively, 1 LBAS can be sent to sweep the air raid node. This means one less LBAS at the boss node (potentially less A/S-Ranks), but also better pass rate (for the air raid node).

Along with all the detailed noted above, once you reach the boss node you'll face against a '''[[Battleship Princess]]''' (which you may face up to 2 of them in harder difficulties) along with some other CLs and DDs Since the boss lacks in air power, you can consider using a full bombing LBAS unit for this node. Repeat until TP gauge has been depleted.  

 

 

Most nodes following this are small surface ships like DDs and CLs along with some subs prior to reaching the boss, Vangaurd and line abreast accordingly to try surviving these fights.

Once the TP gauge is depleted the a new boss gauge will appear but before you can use go further you'll need to complete to unlock the path to the new boss.

In this phase, simply arm your two CVL with fighters and use your Land Base to engage the air nodes on each node, use your 1-2 LBAS with only fighters and have them target these nodes. The rest should come easily as you gain AS from these node and once done, the path to the new boss node will be open.

Once you enter this part of the operation, you will be facing a large series of attacks from submarines, along with a large amount of air stirkes that you'll need to pass and then finally facing a tough surface fleet before fighting the [[Aircraft Carrier Princess]]. You will need to bring a considerable amount of AA defenses, along with combat, and LoS (with a flagship that has a '''Surface Radar''' as part of the LoS requirement) Because of the difficulty this map presents there are only several ways people can consider playing this map, all which present thier own risks.

Here are a Summary of the possible compositions that the player can consider:

'''Heavy Fleets''' (using Ten-Gou members where possible for the damage bonuses) have a longer route to the boss that goes through more air raid nodes, but have better survivability and damage output at the boss node.

*If the notion of committing so many heavies to an early map is disconcerting, wait for information on EOs to be released before committing to any one fleet for E2 P2.

*Both support expeditions are recommended.

*Both in-route and Boss support expeditions are recommended.

*Line Ahead is more likely to help with clearing out the preboss node as quickly as possible. Vanguard is not exactly viable, since only 1 ship in the fleet is a DD, and the reduction in firepower probably isn't worth it.

*Line Ahead is more likely to help with clearing out the preboss node as quickly as possible. Vanguard may be viable, but your mileage may vary (especially since only 1 ship in the fleet is a DD).

*Send both LBAS to the boss equipped for Air Parity (64th/54th/T1 M34 LBAA/T1 M34 LBAA + T21(Skilled)/T21(Skilled)/LBAA/LBAA), and have about 330 FP on your main fleet, if you want to achieve AS at the boss node.

**Unlike the Ten-Gou comp, AS is much more helpful here as your BBs will be able to use artillery spotting to clear out the enemy fleet more quickly before the night battle phase.

This is one of the easier ways to successfully clear the map, but it will present a possible issue in later event maps as [[Nagato]], [[Mutsu]], [[Ise]], [[Hyuuga]], [[Fusou]] and [[Yamashiro]] are all relevant to '''Pearl Harbor'''. Use  foreign battleships if you have any. But keep in mind that some of them such as [[Gangut]] will have importance in later maps as well. Locking your BBs here can mean the difference between running a fleet for EO or being forced to possibly reduce the difficulty. Like the previous comp, in-route and boss support is recommended.

'''2 Land Bases Fighters/ Carrier Fighters, 2 Land Base Bombers''' (Range 7 needed)

'''2-3 Land Bases Fighters/ Carrier Fighters, 1-2 Land Base Bombers''' (Range 7 needed)

You will need considerable a means to protect your land base bombers to a degree, but due to the amount of air power + Tsu-class (especially flagship on hard) there will always be a chance your bombers will be shot down and loose rank. Because of this, you need to be ready to deal with this factor and accept that you'll need to retrain your planes.

Because of this, you need to be ready to deal with this factor and accept that you'll need to retrain your planes.  

The boss node will consist of [[Aircraft Carrier Princess]] (with a possibility of a 2nd one on Hard) and some CVL, CLs and DDs. Air power will be intense on this node and may not be easy to gain AS. Overall though if you use both LBAS at the boss node, your goal will be to shut down as many of the enemy units as you can over day battle so you can pave way for Yamato and her Ten-go members (if you bring them) to take out the [[Aircraft Carrier Princess]]. Outside of this though, chance of survival will depend on if your LBAS manages to take down as many of thier core enemy units as they can and also how much damage your support fleet delivers on the enemy fleet. The rest will ride on if you fleet manage to live through without most of them getting heavily damaged.
