| + | '''Preparation''' |
| + | |
| + | '''The event is likely to have several shiplocks (E-1 to E-4 already contain 4 separate locks), please plan your locks carefully.''' |
| + | |
| + | For this operation, you will be organizing a combined fleet to fight against an installation with very high HP, along with achieving high air power and then facing off against a carrier fleet in the finale. As such you will make sure not only your ships are up to part for locking purposes, but to also make sure your equipment is capable enough to help take care of the installation. |
| + | |
| + | The following thing could be considered for this map: |
| + | |
| + | # Do you have anti-installation equipment? |
| + | # Do you have enough anti-installation ships and equipment to construct at least 1-2 Anti-installation nukes? |
| + | # Do you have a majority of the carriers including weaker ones like the Unryuu-class and/or Aquila? |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | * If you said yes to all of the above you should be more than ready to handle E-2 on Hard regardless of the strategy you choose. |
| + | * If you said yes to all but 3, weigh your carrier optional carefully before jumping into the map and avoid using key carriers that will be vital on later maps. |
| + | * If you said no to 2 you may need to possibly consider lowering difficulty as you will need means to deal damage up to around 700-1000+ against the boss. |
| + | * If you said no to one, then you may be new to the game and need to consider building some basic anti-installation(suchs as [[Type 3 Shell]]s before diving into E-2 on difficulties like Easy. |
| + | |
| + | Below is a list of all the historical ships that have relevance to the Kure Naval District and Operation Ten-Go (in which this map takes place within.) |
| + | |
| + | '''Ship Bonuses (Tentative)''' |
| + | |
| + | ''Kure Naval District Survivor Bonus'' |
| + | |
| + | * [[Ryuuhou]], [[Kitakami]], [[Ushio]], [[Verniy]] |
| + | ** 1.26x bonus (Boss Nodes M, T) |
| + | |
| + | * [[Sakawa]] |
| + | ** 1.36x bonus (Boss Nodes M, T) |
| + | |
| + | ''Ten-Go Fleet Bonus'' |
| + | |
| + | * [[Yamato]], [[Yahagi]], [[Kasumi]], [[Suzutsuki]], [[Isokaze]], [[Hamakaze]], [[Yukikaze]], [[Asashimo]], [[Hatsushimo]] |
| + | ** 1.36x bonus (Nodes M, T) |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | '''Some ships also have bonuses in later maps!''' [[Yahagi]], [[Sakawa]], [[Suzutsuki]] and [[Verniy]] is probably a safe choice to lock here. But things are subject to change once more information is available. |

− | * Defeat the new Supply Depot Hime. While her HP has been buffed considerably and she now has an opening torp, her core weakness remains the same. She is escorted by a CVL and some light surface units
| + | In this phase you will mainly be using a fleet that will have to go through fights with submarines, some surface ships, air attacks and possibly some battleships depending on the route you take before you reach the boss node. You will need to prepare accordingly tp handle each node depending on the route you take. |
| | | |
− | * Composition: TCF: 1AV 1CAV 4DD + 1CL 1-2CA(V) 3-4DD
| + | Depending on the difficulty, the [[Supply Depot Princess]] will be buffed considerably having up to '''2400 HP''' on Hard mode. While her HP has been buffed considerably and she now has an opening torp, her core weakness remains the same. She is escorted by a CVL and some light surface units. |

− | '''Phase 2: Unlock the Second Boss:'''
| + | With the combination of your LBAS, and a well put together fleet, it should be possible to clear the [[Supply Depot Princess]] easily even on last dance. As long as you have the Anti-installation nuke and have a means to wipe out the other units this of the battle should be cleared easily. |
| | | |
− | * AS (for hard) on Nodes E and G. Medium (and lower?) only requires AS on Node E. For this (54/198/293/359) Fighter Power is required on C/E/M/H.

| + | The requirements needed will be to simply gain access to the boss (on Hard+) will require you to reach two air nodes (Node E and G) and get AS from them. |
| | | |
− | * Routes: A-B-E, A-B-D-G, with E/G being Airstrike Nodes and D being a submarine node

− | * Composition: CTF: 2CV 1CVL 1FBB 1CA(V) 1AV + 1CL 1CA 4DD ('''Fast fleet''')
| + | CTF is the most preferred method to taking care of this segment . The path along the way will mainly have light ended ships but towards the end you'll face off against an enemy CVL unit before reaching the boss. |
| | | |
− | * LBAS: 1 Base, 8 Range to the Boss. (Both to Boss node, AD should suffice) | + | However, if you wish to reuse the same ships you want to use from Phase 1 & 2 you can resort an STF. Which in this case you will face an battleship fight before the boss. |

| + | As noted above, the boss is not difficult due the fact the flagship is a Wo-class carrier Flagship Kai. All you will need is a well placed double attack / CVCI to defeat her. The rest of the enemies will fall easily (save [[Battleship Water Demon Kai]] so unless you have intent to farm this node for drops, clearing the map should be done with minimal effort. |
