Line 4:
Line 4: − **Given her historical armament, it is possible that she will be able to equip AA guns, Seaplanes and possibly Torpedo Bombers, as she had a small aviation wing of [[Type 0 Recon Seaplane]]s and [[Ryuusei]]s.+ − + − + − + − *From interviews held in the June 2015 issue of ''Comptiq'' Magazine, [[Shoukaku]] and [[Zuikaku]] are suspected to receive their Kai Ni during this event. − **This will require an item '''only obtainable during the event.''' − **Some believe that the Kai Ni will not happen until after the event is over. − + − *Judging by incoming pictures, there will be five new pieces of equipment:+ − **Two torpedo bombers, possibly relating to Murata (a pilot from the Akagi who transfered to Shoukaku)+ − ***[[Type 97 Torpedo Bomber (Murata Squadron)]], available on all difficulties+ − ****There is a conversion request involved with it (likely leading into the second torpedo bomber)+ − **[[Maritime Resupply]]+ − − **[[Battle Rations]] − + − − − ===Map and theme Speculation=== − Operation SN was a campaign in which Japan attempted to establish airfields in the southern Solomon Islands, including a seaplane base on Tulagi and an airfield on neighboring Guadalcanal. − − On August 7 the Allies launched [[:wikipedia:Guadalcanal Campaign|Operation Watchtower]] with the intention of capturing these airfields; the airfield on Guadalcanal quickly fell and was renamed ''Henderson Field''. − − The IJA was lax in their response at first, believing this to be only a reconnaissance in force; however, Admiral Yamamoto thought otherwise. He sent naval forces to challenge the Americans' sea presence in the region, thus beginning a running siege that would last for five months, with the Americans owning the seas by day and the IJN ferrying in troops under the cover of darkness. − − The event will likely emphasize fighting land installations and fending off air raids. The numerous nocturnal encounters in the Guadalcanal campaign suggest night battles will be prevalent. − − ===Mechanics Speculation=== − − The introduction of a new mechanic might be tied to planes as there have been several new articles that mentioned about adjusting the plane mechanics. And since this operation might have a lot to do with fighting installations. They may be tweaking the planes to be able to fight installations in a different way compared to before hand. − − As of 8/9, this is believed to be plane leveling: as planes do more damage/shoot down enemies, they shall progressively get better. However, if planes take too many losses, they will be reduced in their effectiveness.
