==Ship Bonuses (Tentative)==
{{:{{BASEPAGENAME}}/E-2/Historical_Ships}}

==Introduction==

* This map uses a '''Single Fleet'''
* You will have 2 Land Bases accessible (1 available for Sortie).
* Phase 1.5 can be done before the completion of Phase 1. 
* This map applies the Yellow Ship lock.
{{ToolTip|{{Shiplock|Fall2021EventTag2}}|'''Hi-Convoy'''|line=false}}

==Preparations==

It is possible to complete this map with only 6 ships locked to the Hi-Convoy Tag. Certain concessions to unlock requirements or changing tasks might increase that number.

* Comp: '''1 CVL, 1 AV/ CL, 4 DD''' (Fast Fleet)
* Set one LBAS Base up for High-Altitude LBAS Defense, as you cannot sortie it anyways.

It's recommended to have a minimum of at least:

* 1 AACI Ship
* 1+ OASW DD
* 1+ DLC-Capable ship

Other Notes about the map:

* Node A's airpower is 118-143 AP | 264 - 321 AS | 528 - 642 AS+ on Hard Mode
* Node C's airpower is 164-189 AP | 368 - 425 AS | 735 - 849 AS+ on Hard Mode
* Most enemy comps will consist of light weight ships with possible light carriers with the exception of nodes P and U.
* Vanguard Formation can help increase your pass rate in these fights

==Phase 0.5: Opening the Path to Taiwan==

To unlock the Transport Portion of this map, you need to do the following:

|-|Node G=

* '''Path:''' {{MapRoute|1||A|pink|B|red|D|Blue|F|Blue|G|Red}}

* Have your fleet armed with ASW gear.
* Sortie LBAS and on-route support is not necessary, but sending ASW-LBAS to {{MapRoute|G|red}} can help with dealing with the submarine
|-|Node K=
* '''Path:''' {{MapRoute|1||A|pink|B|red|D|Blue|F|Blue|J|Blue|K|red}}

* Have your fleet armed with ASW gear.
* Sortie LBAS and on-route support is not necessary, but sending ASW-LBAS to {{MapRoute|K|red}} can help with dealing with the submarine
|-|Node L=
* '''Path:''' {{MapRoute|1||A|pink|B|red|D|Blue|F|Blue|J|Blue|L|red}}

* The Fleet should be armed for surface combat. 
* Having 1 ASW ship for Node B is optional, alternatively send ASW-LBAS there
* On-route support is not necessary.
</tabber>

==Phase 1: Complete the Transportation to Taiwan ({{MapRoute|Q|red}})==
In this phase you will be performing a transport operation torwards {{MapRoute|Q|red}}:

* '''Path:''' {{MapRoute|1||A|pink|B|red|D|Blue|F|Blue|G|Red|M|Red|O|Green|Q|Red}}

*This phase will require a heavy balance between AACI, ASW, Surface combat, and transportation.
**Weigh carefully how you want to approach this along with how you use your support fleet and LBAS
* AACI is recommended for node A
* 1 OASW ship is recommended for nodes B and node G
* It's recommended to use ASW-LBAS for Node {{MapRoute|G|red}}
* Airpower at Node Q is 89 - 177 AP | 198 - 396 AS | 396 - 792 AS+
* While the TP gauge may be slow to drain, this will allow you to clear the TP gauge over time.
* Boss and Node Support are optional.
* LOS to {{MapRoute|Q|red}} are: Cn3 = 26/35/44/52 for Casual/Easy/Medium/Hard

==Phase 1.5: Open the path to {{MapRoute|U|red}}==
In this phase, you will need to complete the following conditions to unlock the path to {{MapRoute|U|red}}:
* Do note that can complete steps ''' while still in phase 1''', but will not unlock until phase 1 is complete.

<tabber>
|-|Node C=
* '''Path:''' {{MapRoute|1||A|pink|B|red|D|Blue|C|red}}
* AS Requirement: 368 - 425
* Organize your CVL to have all Fighters
* Also include Seaplane fighters on your AV/CL
* If you struggle to reach the AS requirement, you can consider sending a Fighter Sweep LBAS to this node
* You can also consider a second CVL instead of the CL/AV, but you will take {{MapRoute|E|red}} in addition to the nodes above.
|-|Node P=
* '''Path:''' {{MapRoute|1||A|pink|B|red|D|Blue|F|Blue|J|Blue|L|red|P|red}}

* Fleet should be armed for surface combat. 
* Having 1 ASW ship for Node B is optional but recommended. 
* Node P is a combined fleet that contains an [[Aircraft Carrier Water Demon]] but is filled with a light escort. Therefore A-Ranks should be not too difficult to achieve
* LBAS to help increase the pass rate on {{MapRoute|L|red}} or to help with {{MapRoute|P|red}} can be considered
|-|Air Defense=
* AS requirement: 269 - 326
* Can be done passively while doing anything between phase 1 to 1.5
* Hard contains High Altitude Planes for the enemy, bring [[:Category: High Altitude Interceptors|High Altitude Interceptors]] if possible.
<br>
'''Beginner Strategies'''
<br>
If you don't have access to High Altitude Interceptors, your effective Interception power is halved. You need 539 AirPower to AS the easiest Air raid.
<br> <br>To get AS regardless, you need to have at least the following, setting both bases to defend:

* 7x 10+ AA and one 11+ AA Plane or Interceptor 
* The above only works against the weakest composition, stronger planes can also take on harder ones.
* Therefore you might need to rerun this map until you roll the desired enemy air raid composition.
* '''If you are mathematically unable to achieve this, consider dropping to Normal difficulty or obtaining the required planes via Development/Improvement or Quests'''
</tabber>

==Phase 2: Eliminate the Wo-class Carrier Fleet==
In this phase you will be traveling to Node U to fight off a Wo-class Carrier that is part of a combined fleet, below is the main rundown of what you can expect:

* '''Path:''' {{MapRoute|1||A|pink|B|red|D|Blue|C|Pink|R|Red|U|Red}}

* In this phase, you will face 2 Air nodes, 1 surface fight and 1 Sub node.
* While there is not nearly as strong subs on this route, 1 OASW ship may still help if necessary
** Alternatively you can send ASW-LBAS there
* AACI and good air power are important to deal with Node A and C
* Node R consist of a small destroyer and light cruiser fleet which can be passed with vanguard.
* Node U consist of a combined fleet with a relative weak Carrier fleet along with cruisers and destroyers
* AP needed is AP 135-160 | AS 302-359 | AS+ 603-717
* LOS to {{MapRoute|U|red}} are: Cn3 = 35/35/46/54 for Casual/Easy/Medium/Hard
