''Nishimura Fleet Objective: Node S, X, and Y''

'''Nishimura Fleet Objective: Node S, X, and Y'''

 

Nodes S, X, and Y are reached through going through at least nodes G and M, a sub and air raid node specifically, neither of these nodes is particularly dangerous, with G comprising Ka-flags at worst.

''Kurita Fleet Objective: Reach T''

'''Kurita Fleet Objective: Reach T'''

 

T can be reached in one of two ways: either with a single submarine (or fleet of submarines), or with a conventional surface task force.

T can be reached in one of two ways: either with a single submarine (or fleet of submarines), or with a conventional surface task force.

Alternatively, T can be reached using a single fleet of submarines, this fleet will face ASW challenges at nodes C and I, conventional bomber support to these nodes should be used if required.

CVLs in this fleet will be mostly called upon to provide fighter power, with (usually) three fighters and a dive bomber, a dive is chosen over a TB in this case to provide shelling power and due to the high amount of enemy AA, consider the use of fighter bombers here.

Likewise, CAVs here can carry seaplane fighters to provide supplementary air power.

Likewise, CAVs here can carry seaplane fighters to provide supplementary air power, as always, their seaplane fighters may never be completely depleted, due to the nature of how percentage shootdown works.

 

As an alternative option, a CV with an additional CAV may be brought in place of the 2 CVLs.

Overall, this map is relatively simple, even on hard, with the most dangerous node being node W, LBAS can safely be sent there, an FCF can be brought safely without compromising fleet capabilities too heavily.
