*The reason why a TP phase is the first phase is based on the fact that during the Omaha landings, the first wave were made up of mostly Combat Engineers tasked with clearing the beaches for the landing crafts, Sherman DD's, and LSTs. Sadly most of these units suffered heavy casualties but it is thanks to their sacrifice in clearing the beaches and barbed wires that the succeeding waves were able to land and push in.

Sandbox Rules

This sandbox is to be used to construct an event guide for the above-mentioned event map. These guides are to all of the following requirements:

  • An overview of the map, including ship/equipment bonuses, Ship Locks, and special mechanics,
  • List of branching unlocking requirements (if there are multiple requirements, compositions for each path along with the below requirements will be needed to discuss the unlocking requirements in question),
  • A list of working compositions that work: (T=these must have possible alternatives for players who may or may not have all ships needed for a specific path),
    • The Paths said compositions will take (to explain each path the composition will/can take),
    • A summary or description of what kind of obstacles a composition will face.
  • A description of the boss node: what it consists of, and a descriptive guide on what the player should consider for a course of action to successfully win the battle,
  • Optional: Tips/guides to farm certain ships and/or resources (this can also require compositions, paths, and possible descriptions).

Editors are to construct their own version of the guide/part of the guide, and complete it in a timely fashion.

No editor is allowed to edit over other editors' work without the consent of the editor and his approval to do so.

Several versions will be constructed through this page and will be reviewed and approved by the staff/collaboration committee before being moved for the Summer 2023 Event, being reviewed and updated once more before it can be released.

Overall there should be 3 versions of the guide that have to be constructed, including: Preliminary > Polished > Finalized Guides

With each approval of each version of the guide, the said guide will be updated to the main page, and construction of the next version will begin.

All guides outside of the approved version will be removed and work will begin from the approved version to make it better for the next version until the finalized version is made.

  • All ship types suffer a severe Accuracy accuracy and Firepower firepower penalty against PT boats.
  • Attacking them with larger guns is not very effective, smaller guns being recommended instead.
  • Support Expeditions are not affect by any of the following[1].

Notes
  • It is recommended to use anti-PT setups on DDs only, such setups compromising overall combat effectiveness.
  • Having a Reinforcement Expansion is important because it can save a ship slot by containing a machine gun or skilled lookouts.
  • Combining equipment is recommended to see significant boosts to accuracy.
  • The Amphibious Vehicle Ka-Tsu TanksSpecial Type 4 Amphibious Tank
    Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai     bonus does not stack with the Landing Craft Armed BoatsSoukoutei (Armored Boat Class)
    Armed Daihatsu     ones.
  • Using other setups improving accuracy is also advisable:

  • Refer to #Phase 1 - TP's fleet for composition and routing.
  • Take note after Phase 5 that the compositions used in Phase 1 and 2 won't be able to route here or start at Starting Point 1 at all difficulties|
Compositions that have 4 Battleships are needed for assured routing to Node H and G:

  • Refer to #Phase 3 - Boss / #Phase 4 - TP's fleet for composition and routing.
  • Node P needs to be done twice in total for debuff and/or shortcut unlocks.
    • Run a TCF Fleet for one of the A rank requirements as TCF is the only fleet that reaches node S.
    • Afterwards, use an STF to secure the other A rank needed for both Armor Debuff and Shortcut.

Accuracy formula against PT boats
The Accuracy formula against PT boats:[5][6][7][8]
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Hit Rate}_\text{vs.PT} \text{%} = \Big\lfloor ( 0.3 \times \text{Accuracy}_\text{Atk} + \sqrt{\text{Accuracy}_\text{Atk}} + 15 ) \times 1.2 \times \text{Mod}_\text{Ship} \times \Big( \prod^{All Equipment}{\text{Mod}_\text{EquipmentAcc}} \Big) \times \text{Mod}_\text{Night} \Big\rfloor - \text{EVA}_\text{PT} + 1 }[/math]
With
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Acc}_\text{Atk} }[/math] the standard accuracy described here
    • PT boats are "DDs" in the game, so the [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{formation} }[/math] for vanguard is 1.1 during shelling, and 1.2 during the torpedo phase.
    • Historical accuracy bonuses during Events are included in the Standard Accuracy Term, i.e. it is affected by the [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{PT} }[/math] modifier.

Amagiri Kai Ni/DAmagiri Kai Ni
Amagiri Kai Ni D has the ability to prioritize focusing on attacking PT imps with significantly increased accuracy if any are present.

  • DD placed in the composition slots above and below her will gain a noticeable accuracy boost and will prioritize attacking PT boats if any are present.
  • The PT boat targeting rate is 100% for all affected ships [9].

During Events, some special bonuses may be added, with "historical" ships and equipment gaining some accuracy bonuses[10].

Notes
  • It is recommended to use anti-PT setups on DDs only, such setups compromising overall combat effectiveness.
  • Having a Reinforcement Expansion is important because it can save a ship slot by containing a machine gun or skilled lookouts.
  • Combining equipment is recommended to see significant boosts to accuracy.
  • The Amphibious Vehicle Ka-Tsu TanksSpecial Type 4 Amphibious Tank
    Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai     bonus does not stack with the Landing Craft Armed BoatsSoukoutei (Armored Boat Class)

  • Using other setups improving accuracy is also advisable:

Trivia

This map involves many references to the real operation Neptune:

Node A5
  • This is an anti-installation/landing operation on the island of Guernsey; a strategic location on the Channel Islands. This operation occurred simultaneously with the D-Day Invasion
Nodes B3 & B4
  • This is ASW Sweep around Jersey Island and Saint Malo's Fort de la Conchée; both of which were occupied by Germans and then liberated during the Invasion of Normandy
Node C3
  • Node C3 is in Poole located in Southern England. Poole is the 3rd Largest Embarkation Point during the D-Day Landings. Ships and munition ships came here to resupply and head to the Beaches
Phase 1
  • The reason why a TP phase is the first phase is based on the fact that during the Omaha landings, the first wave were made up of mostly Combat Engineers tasked with clearing the beaches for the landing crafts, Sherman DD's, and LSTs. Sadly most of these units suffered heavy casualties but it is thanks to their sacrifice in clearing the beaches and barbed wires that the succeeding waves were able to land and push in.
Phase 2
  • The 2nd phase being an HP phase might be a reference to the fact that it was via the Second Wave and succeeding waves of landings that the American Elements were able to damage and take over the installations and bunkers at Omaha and Pointe du Hoc
Node U
  • Is in Dieppe which was the site of the first major Allied invasion attempt of Europe during WW2. Sadly it was a military disaster and the Canadian Landing Forces were all defeated.
Phase 5
  • The Boss fight is located at Calais which is the shortest crossing from the UK to Mainland Europe as well as what the Germans suspected as the landing site for the Allied invasion of Europe. This is the location of the diversion and part of Operation Fortitude which was an Allied effort to confuse the Germans.
