Tips
- To ensure the quickest and safest passage to the boss node, you'll need to form a combined fleet consisting of ships from the Malaya Historical Fleet, i.e. Kongou, Haruna, Choukai, Mogami, Mikuma, Suzuya, Kumano, Yura, Kinu, Fubuki, Shirayuki, and Hatsuyuki
- Information regarding the use of this composition can be found here. [1]
- It's hypothesized that having at least three of each of the above in each fleet is required for superior routing, with at least seven of the named ships in the combined fleet as a whole.
- Node B is a sub node.
- Node D is a land-based airstrike.
- The boss is an installation-type, as such, bringing landing forces, WG42s and AP (strong against artillery imps) or Type 3 Shell (against Supply Depot Hime) is advised.
- On hard, it is the Summer Harbor Princess, Supply Depot Princess, Two Artillery Imps and two destroyers in line ahead formation.
- Do consider the use of CAVs instead of CAs in the escort fleet for their ability to equip WG42s
- Consider concentrating as much air strikes as possible from your LBAS as possible on the boss node since it'll help wipe out some of the installations.
- Recommended LBAS comp for boss node attack:
- 2 fighters with a distance of 5 minimum and Land Attackers for both squadrons. (for concentrated damaged on installation damage)
- Otherwise, if you lack in Land Based Attackers, use 1-2 fighters and Torpedo Bombers (which while isn't nearly as effective, will still help)
- Boss Support is recommended especially on the final kill
- 150 Air power secures Air Superiority at the boss node.
- There is a method to do Armor Reduction against the Z Force Fleet of Node H, which while isn't required, will make things easier for admirals. In order to complete this process you need to do the following:
- Score an S-rank at node A (Surface Task Force is required, need approximately 4 FBB/BB)
- Score an S-Rank at Node D (Carrier Task Force is required, need 4 CV/CVL)
- Successfully completely intercept an Air Raid against your Land Base. (Take no damage from the Air Raid to your Land bases thus receiving a message in white which may require both land base defending)
- Completing this step result in a "ding" sound that will be heard upon returning to base, this indicates you have successfully completed the debuff and the Z Force Fleet of Node H will become easier to defeat now.
- As a small trivia piece, Force Z (Node H) is named after the historical Force Z, which comprised the Prince of Wales, Repulse, and four escorting destroyers.
