| − | The calm before the storm, this is the easiest map (and possibly the only easy map) in this event. 1CL 5DD is the staple composition. Anti-submarine weapons will do the trick nicely. There's a LoS check pre-boss, it appears high LoS results in more ACDGI and low LoS results in more BEFHI. The LoS seems to be around '''42-49 effective LoS (old formula)'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It's recommended to have at least 4 sets of full ASW ships and 1-2 partial ASW ship for the final run. This leaves only two ships with radars/seaplanes to meet LoS requirement. In either cases, [[Ooyodo]] with 2x [[Type 0 Observation Seaplane]] and another DD with [[Type 33 Surface RADAR]] solved LoS issue.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To make matters worse, G node has surface ships. Our fleet relied on [[Yuudachi]] with surface equipment and Ayanami for surface damage. We went double line against G node during the first run. Afterwards, we adjusted the LoS (threw out a radar and put a surface gun in) and went north instead. Line ahead [[Submarine Yo-Class|Yo-class]]'s preemptive torp is bad but at least we were prepared for anti-sub warfare.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Another note: never, ever, go into night battle against a flagship submarine. Can't hit 'em at all.

| |
| − | This map is similar to World 3-3, but it's taken to 11. Possible compositions in this map are:
| |
| − | * 2CV 2FBB 1CLT 1DD for BCFHI, with B node is a fuel maelstrom
| |
| − | * 1CV 1CVL 2FBB 1CA 1CL for AFHI
| |
| − | * 1CL 5DD for ADEFI (?)
| |
| − | There is a LoS check preboss which we were able to pass with 1x [[Saiun]], 2x [[Type 0 Observation Seaplane]] and 1x [[FuMO25 Radar]]. Our fleet went with the first composition. For the first 6 kills, we followed this order: [[Hiryuu]], [[Kongou]], [[Kaga]], [[Kirishima]], [[Yuudachi]], [[Kitakami]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hiryuu was deployed with the following load out in slot order: [[Suisei (Egusa Squadron)]], [[Reppuu]], [[Suisei Model 12A]] and [[Saiun]].
| |
| − | Kaga went into battle with [[Tenzan Model 12 (Tomonaga Squadron)]], [[Reppuu (601 Air Group)]], [[Reppuu]], [[Suisei Model 12A]]
| |
| − | Yuudachi had AA Cut-in setup and Kitakami has Torpedo cut-in setup.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This composition allowed our carriers to shell heavily in daytime and Kitakami to preemptively cripple a Wo-class at boss, taking into account of the ammo penalty. As air power is limited in this set up, we ran into a major risk at boss against the opening airstrike.
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, this set up allowed us to pass F node against double Ru-class flagship easily as we have up to 4 ships capable of crippling Ru-class in daytime and Kitakami can also one-shot a Ru-class with her torp. High opening damage wiped the floor with the light ships and focused our shelling damage on the heavy hitters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Things changed at boss in final form because the number of heavy hitters on the enemy side increased to 4. We swapped positions and put our Fast Battleships in the first two position following by the Carriers. This gave us the first strike in night battle and second shelling should the carriers are crippled by Wo-class.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In total, we needed 3 more runs on the last kill. We retreated twice at F node and twice did we fail to hit boss. We did 13 runs in total and used up a measly 35 buckets. All the hard works in World 3-3 paid up!

| |
| − | For this map, our ''Quick Response'' combined fleet was optimized for ABFHK route. Sometimes, we head CEFHK instead, hitting an extra fuel maelstrom node at E. Our main fleet consisted of 3CV 1FBB 1BB 1CAV, the second fleet consisted of 1CA 1CL 4DD. We utilized a variety of carrier techniques in this battle and made the changes at the last dance since we had studied ahead of time the enemy patterns we would be facing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For the three boss kills, we ran with high emphasis on opening airstrike and overwhelming carrier shelling power, the load out of our carriers were:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Hiryuu: [[Suisei (Egusa Squadron)|Egusa]], [[Reppuu]], [[Reppuu]], [[Fleet Command Facility]]
| |
| − | *Kaga: [[Suisei Model 12A]], [[Reppuu]], [[Reppuu (601 Air Group)]], [[Suisei Model 12A]]
| |
| − | *Shoukaku: [[Tenzan Model 12 (Tomonaga Squadron)|Tomonaga]], [[Reppuu]], [[Ryuusei (601 Air Group)]], [[Type 2 Recon Aircraft]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Hiryuu has high innate firepower, allowing her to deal significant amount of damage with only Egusa. Additionally, her 3 plane slot is ideal for Fleet Command Facility as it has very little effect on her performance. Knowing the formula for calculating carrier shelling damage does not take into account of number of planes in slot, Kaga took two [[Suisei Model 12A]] on her smallest and second smallest slots.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The damage of opening airstrike, however, is affected by plane count. However, we need Kaga's largest plane slot for [[Reppuu (601 Air Group)]] and since she had already had 2 shelling planes, we put the Tomonaga Squadron and [[Ryuusei (601 Air Group)]] on Shoukaku instead. Shoukaku's evenly distributed plane slots fared better than Kaga and allowed more blue planes on her two medium slots. A [[Type 2 Recon Aircraft]] to further boost the opening airstrike on her smallest slots. All other slots are filled with [[Reppuu]] to achieve air superiority (AS) in every node.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Things changed a bit for the final battle as there are now two Wo-class flagship Kai at boss. The fighter power required to AS becomes 306. Since we would be facing even tougher enemies, we needed concentrated shelling power. So for the last run, the load out became:
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Hiryuu: [[Suisei (Egusa Squadron)|Egusa]], [[Reppuu]], [[Suisei Model 12A]], [[Fleet Command Facility]]
| |
| − | *Kaga: [[Reppuu]], [[Reppuu]], [[Reppuu (601 Air Group)]], [[Type 2 Recon Aircraft]]
| |
| − | *Shoukaku: [[Tenzan Model 12 (Tomonaga Squadron)|Tomonaga]], [[Reppuu]], [[Ryuusei (601 Air Group)]], [[Reppuu]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kaga became unable to participate in shelling but Hiryuu got an extra firepower boost necessary to cripple a Wo-kai or battleship at boss. Shoukaku carried the same general load out for opening airstrike and shelling power. With this set up, we relied heavily on the fact that Kaga would not get hit since we would lose air control without Kaga. Shoukaku was more expendable; we would be able to at least air parity with only Hiryuu and Kaga.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For the final run, we ramped up the scale and replaced Nagato with Yamato in fifth slot. The set up was [[Type 1 AP Shell|AP shell]], [[Prototype 51cm Twin Cannon|51cm cannon]], [[46cm Triple Gun Mount|46cm cannon]], and [[Type 0 Observation Seaplane|Obs plane]]. The FBB in fourth slot was Kirishima and she had a more accuracy-oriented load out with [[FuMO25 Radar]] and 2x [[41cm Twin Gun Mount|41cm cannon]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Fleet Command Facility]] was an invaluable asset in this map. BB-hime pre-boss was especially merciless and we had to pull damaged ships out this way to get our boss kills. Since FCF uses the undamaged DD from top down, not counting the flagship of escort fleet, Shimakaze was positioned in second slot. She has high evasion, expendable and can tank hits if necessary. Shigure and Yukikaze were vital in our night battle fleet as we would rely on cut-in to bring down 170 armor boss. Yuudachi was the next tow ship should something happen to Shimakaze.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For night equipment, a [[Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)|Night scout]] on third ship Nachi and [[Star Shell]] carried by flagship Shigure. Sendai on fourth slot and Yukikaze last slot.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The brainstorming was definitely worth it, we wiped the floor with boss fleet, final form, in day battle. AA cut-in from Yuudachi suppressed Wo-kai's airstrike. Both Late model DDs were sunk and Ta-class suffered light damage in a type-2-recon-contact bombing. Nachi double-attacked and crippled a Wo-kai. Our light fleet whittled down the other to medium damage in torpedo phase. Yamato crippled the light damaged Wo-kai, Hiryuu shelled Ta-class to smithereens and finished off the other Wo. Yamato added another shot dealing 100+ damage to boss before night battle. With star shell and night scout triggered, Shigure cut-in the crippled Wo-class, Nachi and Sendai finished off the boss before Yukikaze even had a chance to say "sha-sha-sha".

| − | '''Appendix'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | A comparison between ABFHK and CEHK routing.
| |
| − | *ABFHK has three pre-boss battles
| |
| − | *CEHK has two pre-boss battles and a fuel maelstrom
| |
| − | While this seems straightforward enough, the fuel maelstrom costs two-battle-worth of fuel so the fleet would end up at BB-hime node with ''less fuel'' compared to ABFHK. Since fuel affects evasion and lowered evasion spell trouble against BB-hime, we opted for another battle to have higher fuel level at BB-hime.
