Historical Routing

Ships with special routing on the map:

CV(B/L)
     
CL
 

Tips

This map is based on the historical operation known as Operation MO. Ships that participated in this operation can be used here to obtain special routing on this map.

  • As every World 5 map, Support Expeditions are available to help you clear the map, something often useful to clear harder quests.

Recommended Fleets

  • Shoukaku, Zuikaku, 2(F)BB/CA(V), 2DD (Fast)
  • Yuubari, 2CVL, 3CA(V)
  • 2CV(L/B), 2DD, 2CA(V) (Fast)
  • Route = B C D F O
    • LoS required: ≥ 71 (Cn2)
    • Heavier fleets have a chance to off-route to Node I, which will significantly deplete your planecount due to the nature of that node.

  • 2CV(B), 2FBB/CA(V), 2CA(V)/CL(T)/DD
  • Route = B C E F O
    • LoS required: ≥ 71 (Cn2)
    • Will pass through Node E instead of D compared to historical fleets, which is way tougher.

Resource Nodes

G J are "Normal Resource Nodes" rewarding respectively ammo  , and bauxite  .

  • See here for more details.

SS and Carrier Exp farming

The 1st enemy node being an Air Node, it's possible to take advantage of how it works to level up any SS(V) as well as "carriers" risk-free.

  • All SS(V) won't take any damage on Node C, so any SS(V) fleet can level up risk-free on this node.
  • If possessing one or more 12cm 30-tube Rocket Launcher Kai Ni , it is possible to take advantage of the AARB mechanic to also level up CV(L), BBV, CAV, and AV.
    • By equipping one RLK2 on carriers, passing a certain AA threshold, said carrier won't take any damage on the Air Node.
    • Having more than 1 RLK2 on the same ship decreases the AA threshold, making it possible to level up weaker carriers.
  • Once Node C cleared , retreat to the base and repeat.
  • There is a random chance to off route to Node A, losing some resources, but this is negligible.
