Tips

Orel cruising

Due to its resource nodes, relatively low enemy ASW, and presence of transports and carriers, sending submarines to 2-3 (commonly referred to as "Orel cruising") has been a famous tactic used by players to gain fuel and clear quests such as Bw2, Bw3 and Bw4 cheaply.

For resource gain:

  • In 2-3, you have a one-in-eight chance of fighting three battles (CHIK), with the other seven-eights being two-battle routes. Assuming no retreats, the average consumption for a single submarine in 2-3 is therefore just over 2 fuel per sortie, and 4 ammo
    • Fuel nodes A, E and I can give 15-45 fuel, while ammunition nodes D and J can give 20-45 ammo.
      • Route A-B-E hits two fuel nodes, getting an average 60 fuel.
      • Route C-D-E hits one fuel node and one ammo node, getting an average 30 fuel and 32.5 ammo.
      • Route C-H-I hits one fuel node, netting an average of 30 fuel, and has the option of getting routed to node J, giving an average of 32.5 ammo.
        • Combined, the gross fuel income of an orel cruise is approximately 45 fuel per run.
      • You have a 37.5% chance of hitting an ammunition node. Both ammunition nodes average just over 30 ammo.
        • The gross ammo income of an orel cruise is hence 30 multiplied by 37.5%, or approximately 12 ammo, rounding up as the actual ammo average is higher than 30.
  • The principle behind Orel cruising resource gathering is to achieve negative sortie costs (i.e. net resource gain).
    • Pure submarines have a consumption total of 10 fuel and 20 ammo (i.e. 1 fuel and 2 ammo per battle node), with the exception of Maruyu who consumes 10 ammo
      • Consider a single submarine (e.g. Ro-500) going to orel, assuming no retreats, will have an average gross expenditure of 2 fuel and 4 ammo, while collecting an average 45 fuel and 12 ammo.
  • Three submarines going to Orel are approximately ammo-neutral (slight net expenditure), while collecting somewhat under 40 fuel per sortie.
  • In practice, sorties can and will result in retreats from critical damage, thus lowering the average gain per sortie.

Orel cruising, in general, has a relatively high opportunity cost. However, it provides relatively low gains for the time taken, which is why players mainly Orel cruise to complete quests and consider the resource gain as a bonus. Orel cruising is generally recommended to have:

  • A fleet which contains at least 3 submarines--the more submarines you use, the easier the map will be.
    • Submarines with high luck should be placed at the bottom of the fleet list to increase their chance of performing cut-in attacks on the stronger enemies during night battles. Doing this can help you achieve an A or S rank victory, especially if you have to fight the enemy fleet located at node G.
  • Submarines should be fully modernized (at least fully upgraded torpedo attack and armor)
  • Submarines are recommended to be non-remodeled because non-remodeled submarines have shorter repair time and consume very few resources when resupplying (especially ammo). Please note that compared to a non-remodeled submarine, a remodeled sub will take twice the amount of time to repair.

Tips

  • A fleet with CVL is more likely to go to node K.
  • If you are aiming for the boss node and end up going down the A-B route on 2-4, you should end the sortie as you are likely to run out of fuel and ammo by the time you reach the boss and will only deal scratch damage.
  • A-F route will guarantee you a boss fight.
  • As one of the hardest maps in the game relative to the point it is unlocked, the conventional way to finish 2-4 is using a combination of 2-4 BBs and CVs.
  • Subs can be a cheap way to clear the map, but will require a lot of patience (and submarines). It is possible to clear 2-4 with a single well-leveled submarine, though by such a point one would hopefully have acquired more options.

You are required to sink the flagship at boss node 4 times to clear the map. The reward for clearing the map is 100 points and a medal. Boss's HP Bar will reset at midnight at the beginning of each month.

  • A certain amount of ELoS (new equation) is required to reach the boss node
    • Below 31 (using the new formula 33; 57.2 for 2-5 fall formula) will not go H to L
    • 33 or more (using formula 33; at least 70.4 for 2-5 fall formula) guarantees H to L
  • Akashi can drop with a small chance in 2-5, but only for Admirals who have do not have her yet in their base. If you already have her, she will not drop in this map anymore. However, Akashi is still obtainable in maps like 3-5 or 6-2.
    • Alternatively, if you do not want to go through the trouble of locating Akashi in 3-5 or 6-2, you can choose to scrap Akashi after you remodel her and take her repair facilities, and then return to 2-5 until she drops again. The game will treat it as if you do not own her.

Tips

There are three routes to the boss node, from northmost to southmost, they are

  • North route A-D-(H)-L
  • South route 1: B-E-(H)-L
  • South route 2: B-E-I-L

n.b. H node does not have a battle

General Considerations

  • The main factor to consider when choosing between the north route and a south route will be the night battle node D (which varies with HQ level) against the Ru-Flag at E (on all HQ levels)

South route B-E-(H)-L and B-E-I-L

Example Fleets:

  • B-E-(H)-L: 2CAV 2CVL 2DD, 2CA 2CVL 2 DD, 2CA CLT CVL 2DD, 3CVL 1CL 2DD
  • B-E-I-L: 4CA 2CVB (BM1, B34), Any (F)BB(V) or CV(B)
  • Non-Guaranteed Routing: 4CA 2CVL, 3CA 3CVL
  • The difference between the two south routes is having to route through the battle node I, which includes a Wo-Kai (or Flag-wo below HQ 100)
    • Any BB or CV ensures that you will be directed to I node
  • While the Wo-Kai at node I is a strong enemy, it is the much weaker base Wo-Kai, and not the Wo-Kai Type IV often seen in events. (12 less accuracy, less FP, weaker airstrike, etc.)
    • If doing the Myoukou fleet monthly (BM1) or any similar quest where guaranteed routing to H is impossible, it might be worth it to simply bring CVs and accept the inferior routing to I in exchange for bringing a stronger force.

The standard guaranteed routing for this map involves 2 DDs, 2 CVLs, and 2 CAs or 2 CAVs (not 1 CA 1 CAV). Aside from routing, this setup also ensures a powerful opening strike (only 70 FP is needed for AS+); the only realistic chance of a retreat here will be posed by the Ru-flag at E node.


North route A-D-(H)-L

Example Fleets:

  • 4DD CA CL (BM7)
  • 3CA 2CAV CLT or 3CA 2CAV FBB (BM1)
  • 3CL CA 2CLT 2DD (B85)
  • 2BBV CL 2DD CA (B102)

While the north route is usually thought of as a "lighter" fleet, as the examples above show, it is possible (though not necessarily recommended) to bring even battleships by carrying drums, only CV(B/L)s are prohibited from this route.

More importantly, this route is the one used for monthly quest BM7, which requires 4 DDs (with one as flag), a CA, and a CL. More specific BM7 advice will be given later.

  • There are three main challenges this fleet will face, one at each node.
  • Node A has a formation with Chi-flag CLTs at HQ 100+, which are a threat to lighter ships especially in the absence of a second shelling phase.
    • Sub HQ 100, this node can still be dangerous to lower-levelled ships.
  • The night battle Node D has the possibility of a Ri-Kai at HQ 90+
    • At lower HQ levels, Node D is somewhat easier. Nonetheless, although only the Ri-classes are capable of performing special night attacks, a single attack from a He-flag (48+80) is a significant threat to a DD.
    • It is not necessary to bring specialised night equipment for this node, a star shell may offer limited value, but a searchlight may be outright detrimental.
  • Lastly comes the boss node L, with at least 3 BBs. If you have opted for a DD-heavy fleet, a night battle is almost certainly required here


Monthly Quest: "Surface Counterattack Fleet" (Bm7) Advice:
  • The main consideration for this quest is achieving the required LoS of about 60 with 4DDs in the fleet (or 33 LOS using the LOS33 formula).
    • Your DDs will probably need radars to add LoS and therefore are unlikely to equip any night battle equipment. Try balancing between ships that can provide high firepower (Yuudachi Kai Ni, Ayanami Kai Ni)and ships that has good base LoS (Akatsuki Kai Ni).
  • For your CL, good options can be either Abukuma Kai Ni, Jintsuu Kai Ni, Yura Kai Ni or Ooyodo/Yuubari. It is recommended to equip a seaplane or two on your CL, as seaplanes contribute much more LoS than radars do, contributing twice their nominal value while radars only contribute their nominal value.
    • Abukuma comes with a strong opening torpedo, which gives her the highest total damage output of any CL in the game
    • Yura is the only CL capable of providing air control, while her opening torpedo is much weaker than Abukuma, it is still capable of killing lighter targets like CLs and DDs
    • Jintsuu has the highest shelling potential of all CLs, and gets much stronger if Zara is used
    • Ooyodo has the highest base LoS among all CLs, and comes with a fourth slot to carry an extra seaplane
    • Yuubari is an option in the absence of Ooyodo, as she can carry seaplanes in her fourth slot to add LoS (see above), despite having 0 plane slots.
  • Options for CAs can be a Myoukou-class Kai Ni, Choukai Kai Ni, Zara-class, or pre-K2 Tone-class.
    • Zara or Pola are arguably the most recommended CAs for this quest as they can carry seaplane bombers to gain Air Superiority at the two daytime nodes.
      • Although the only beneficiaries of artillery spotting are the Zara-class themselves (Abukuma does not benefit from arty spotting), their artillery spotting (about 50% of the time) alone allows their damage output to exceed even Choukai.
      • Do note that their innate LoS is lower, and that seaplane bombers confer less LoS than recon seaplanes. Ensure that you can obtain the required LoS before placing them in.
    • Myoukou-class Kai Nis and Choukai Kai Ni are all-round excellent CAs, with great innate LoS along with excellent offensive and defensive stats.
    • If you don't have either of those groups and are struggling to meet LoS requirements, the unremodelled Tone-Class have the highest LoS stats of all standard CAs.
