Tips

This map is simple as long as you remember that all maps in World 2 have routing restrictions on the maximum number of CV(L)s. With a limited number of these, your path to the boss is guaranteed.

Recommended Fleets

  • 1(F)BB, 1CV, 1AV, 1CL, 2DD
  • Route: C E D H

  • 1CL, 1AV, 4DD (fast)
  • Route: C E H
    • This is the shortest route possible to clear this map with only 2 battles.
    • The comp is very light and does not have any carrier air strike power. It can be helpful to use AV/CL able to carry out an Opening Torpedo Salvo as well as   Seaplane Fighters.
    • Replacing the AV with another DD is also possible, though this comes at the cost of airpower and runs the risk of encountering an extra battle by routing C D H instead. It is still a viable alternative though, especially if using strong destroyers.

    • AV guarantees routing to E.

Resource Nodes

B E are "Normal Resource Nodes" rewarding respectively steel   and instant construction materials  .

  • See here for more details.

Steel and Transport Farming

  • 3CV/CVL, 3XX routes C B A
    • Good for killing 2 Transports per run and gathering a small amount of steel.
      • But 2-2 is probably better for farming transports, as it does not include an enemy CVL and is therefore less likely to damage the fleet during the opening air combat phase.
    • Bringing additional Drums , Landing Craft 
       
      , and Tanks  will help to farm additional steel.
