− | * '''Sortie 1: S rank Node V, M and AS Node B | + | |
| + | In this phase of the map you will need to organize your fleet to go to various location across the map to complete different objectives to successfully. In this map, the requirements to reach some of the these nodes ,'''especially Node V and node O can differ depending on the difficulty you choose to play'''. While this guide will focus primarly on Hard mode, we will try to node spececific things needed for other difficulties if needed. |
| + | |
| + | Below is a list of the requirements for this segement |
| + | |
| + | (Insert unlocking segment) |
| + | |
| + | The most difficult node to complete of these requirements will be node V which '''you will need to return to several times across the map for various reqirements (up to 4 times on hard)'''. So prepared to espeically revisit this node. |
| + | |
| + | |
| + | <tabber> |
| + | |-| Node B= |
| + | * '''Recommended Fleet: (Carrier Task Force) 2 FBB, 2 CV, 1-2 CA(V), 0-1 CL + 1 CL,2 CA 3-4 DD''' |
| + | * '''LBAS Recommendation: N/A ''' |
| + | * '''Path: A-B''' |
| + | |
| + | * You will need 267 Fighter power to get AS at most. |
| + | * Depending on the carriers you bring, you may or may not need to go with a fighter mule set up, otherwise you can do while while clearing Node V or O while in route using a standard set up. |
| + | <br> |
| + | Once the condition is met, a ding sound should occur once you return to homeport. |
| + | |-| Node V= |
| + | * '''Recommended Fleet 1: (Carrier Task Force) 2 FBB, 2 CV, 2 CA(V) + 1 CL,2 CA 3 DD''' '''(Hard Mode Only)''' (Fast Fleet) |
| + | * '''Recommended Fleet 2: (Carrier Task Force) 2-3 (F)BB, 2-3 CV, 1 CA(V) + 0-1 FBB, 1 CL, 1 CA 3-4 DD''' '''(All difficulties)''' (Slow Fleet) |
| + | |
| + | * '''LBAS Recommendation: ''' |
| + | ** LBAS 1: 4 ASW Bombers/ Toukai''' (Target Node M) (Distance of 3 needed) |
| + | ** LBAS 2 (Option 1): 1 Fighter 3 Bomber ''' (Target Node P and T) (Distance of 4 and 5 needed) |
| + | ** LBAS 3 (Option 1): 2 Fighter 2 Bomber ''' (Target Node V) (Distance of 6 needed) |
| + | ** LBAS 2 (Option 2): 2 Fighter 2 Bomber ''' (Target Node V) (Distance of 6 needed) |
| + | ** LBAS 3 (Option 2): 1 Fighter 3 Bomber ''' (Target Node V) (Distance of 6 needed) |
| + | * '''Path: A-B-H-M-P-R-T-V''' |
| + | |
| + | * Below Hard a fast fleet cannot reach Node O, you will need a slow ship in the fleet. |
| + | * You must only have 3 DD or less |
| + | * Fleet must also be relatively heavy to route to V (See Recommended Fleet 2) |
| + | * Node M is Submarines, Bring at least 1 ASW ship to help improve your survivability against the [[New Submarine Princess]] |
| + | * Node P and T are a surface fleet full of Torpedo Squadrons. Node P will also have additiaonl battleships in the fleet along with a possible CVL. Prepare for possible damage for your escort fleet. |
| + | ** Bringing a FBB in Escort can help improve your survival chances |
| + | ** In route support is highly recommended |
| + | * Node R is an air attack, consider an AACI DD |
| + | * Node V is a combined fleet that will consist of 2-3 CVLs, a Ne Kai, 2 Battleships and a possible transport in the main fleet and a pair of CLs and 4 DDs in the fleet. |
| + | ** You will need to have a strong fleet along with a combination of your Land Base Air Squadron, and In-route support to take down this fleet. |
| + | **[[Nelson]], [[Colorado]], or [[Nagato]] can also be a good choice for Node V as she can use the Nelson Touch to help wipe out a fraction of the enemy fleets. |
| + | ** TCI is also highly recommended to help wipe out the Ne Kai should it live into night battle. |
| + | <br> |
| + | This node is quite difficult both to approach and to fight through, but depending on the fleet you organize you can eventually take down the combined fleet. Do note you will need to revisit this section several time. |

| + | |-| Node O= |
| + | * '''Recommended Fleet 1: (Carrier Task Force) 2 FBB, 2 CV, 1CA(V), 1 CL + 1 CL,1 CA 4 DD''' '''(Hard Mode Only)''' (Fast Fleet) |
| + | * '''Recommended Fleet 2: (Carrier Task Force) 2 (F)BB, 2 CV, 2 CA(V) + 1 CL, 1 CA 4 DD'''(Fast Fleet) '''(Medium or Lower Difficulty)''' (Fast Fleet) |

| + | * '''LBAS Recommendation:''' |
| + | |
| + | ** LBAS 1: 4 ASW Bombers/ Toukai''' (Target Node M) (Distance of 3 needed) |
| + | ** LBAS 2-3: Rest or Standby |
| + | |
| + | * CVs should be fighter mules |
| + | * DDs should bring OASW if nessary to survive Node M |
| + | * All other nodes are air attacks AACI is also recommended |
| + | <br> |
| + | Once the condition is met, a ding sound should occur once you return to homeport. |
| + | |-| AS Air Defense= |
| + | |
| + | * '''LBAS: Land Base #3 - 2 Rocket Interceptors, 2 Interceptors (more Land bases needed if nessary) (set on Air Defense)''' |
| + | |
| + | Can be done while doing other requirements as it's easy to complete with minimal effort (preferably while doing Nodes B or O). Just do a run until land base air raid occurs and the reset should be simple. |

| + | Once the condition is met, a ding sound should occur once you return to homeport. |
