Historical: Battle of the Sunda Strait
Shiplock: (Shiplock #4)

• POSSIBLE HISTORICAL WARNING: BATTLE OF SUNDA STRAIT (Fleet with Kamikaze, Mutsuki and Fubuki sisters) FOR ALL THE COMPS BELOW !!
• Part 1: TP Gauge
  • TCF 2CA(V) 4DD + 1CL 2CA(V) 3DD going KLMNP
    • TP Phase, bring many DLC as much as possible
    • LBAS: 4 LBAA sent to boss both bases
• Part 2: Debuffing
  • Chip the boss HP Bar down to final form: STF 2CL 3CA(V) 1CVL + 1CL 1CA 1CLT 3DD going FGJMNRS
    • Must be done first !! As debuff only works in the Final Form !!
    • 85 air power recommended. Consider having one ship in the escort equipped with full OASW to deal with the submarine on the way
    • Other comps in Part 3 can also be used here, although this one is the most optimal comp. Watch out of shiplocks though.
  • A+ rank node P twice: TCF 2CA(V) 4DD + 1CL 2CA(V) 3DD going KLMNP
  • S rank node E: CTF 2CVL 1CL 3CA(V) + 1CL 2CA(V) 3DD going ACE
    • 230 air power recommended
  • Perfect airbase defence and score AS
    • Abyssal sky fortresses warning, requires rocket-launcher interceptors from last events (600+ air with 2 RL Interceptors should be enough)
• Part 3: Finishing off the boss
  • STF 2CL 3CA(V) 1CVL + 1CL 1CA(V) 1CLT 3DD
  • STF 1CL 4CA(V) 1CVL + 1CL 1CA(V) 1CLT 3DD
  • STF 1CL 4CA(V) 1CVL + 1CL 2CA(V) 1CLT 2DD
    • Routes FGJMNRS
    • Even with debuff activated, it's still highly recommended to use boss support and historical ships to increase damage as much as possible. In the Final Form, boss gets much higher armor. You may need to engage the night battle to settle with her
    • As a result, this is a good time to consider some ships with TCI
    • 280 air power recommended (AS+ possible), around 160 is enough for AS only
  • LBAS: 4 LBAA sent to boss both bases

Totaku's Proposal

Preperation

For this map, you will be utilizing ships from the battle of Sunda for this map. Which will consist of a large group of ships. Most which are not all relavent to the Solomon Sea Operations. And can be safely used here. Although some of them you may want to carefully weigh in upon before sending them to this map. In addition to this, you will be using all 3 combined fleets to complete the task this map will challenge you with.

In addition to this, you can also take advantage of special routing on this map to possibly save on using some Heavy Cruisers in favor of bring a FBB and a 2nd CVL if you consider using Akashi or Akitsushima. Below are the following questions you need to consider before partaking in the map:

• Do you have or wish to use Akitsushima or Akashi on this map to take a shorter path?
• Do you have any Fast Battleships you can consider using on this map that are not the Kongou-class?
• Do you plan to use Ryuujou (if you have her) or conserve her for a later map?
  • If you choose to conserve, do you have another CVL to use in her place?
• Do you still have a sizeable amount of CAs remaing in your fleet? (Approximately 8-10 or more)

If you agreed to the first option, you can consider taking advantage of a route and a way conserve your CAs torward the EO segment of the event. If you have other fast Battleships besides the Kongous, consider using one of them to save the Kongous for the Solomon campaign. If you have a CVL you can use in place of Ryuujou, consider them to conserve for a possible historical ship for EOs. Otherwise, if you really need her then consider use her for here.

Finally, if you have a lower amount of CAs than what is listed, you may want to consider weighing your options carefully as you may be forced to lower the difficulty at some point due to the lack of ships you may have to EO and more importantly the possible chance that you may lack in historical ships for certain EO segments. Plan carefully then and decide when it is a good time to drop in difficulty.
