DarkHeron Propasal

Historical Bonus

French Fleet (Richelieu and Commandant Teste) Richelieu and teste x1.5 in boss node against any other enemies (x2.0 if she targets the boss) Everyone gets x1.2 bonus Routing

Routing from E -> H requires 2 Radars for radar check

LBAS Recommendation Can be able to sortie 1 Land Base in this map only

Boss is 5 range so it allows flexibility to send LBAS fighter with range 5 or more to the boss

1 LBAS Fighter, 3 LBAA Bombers.

Grunilgs Proposal

Locking Recommendation Total of 8/9 Ships:

1 (F)BB(V), ideally Richelieu due to historical Bonus, provided she has no strong bonus on later maps, which is currently unknown
1/2 CVL
1 CL
5 DD, 2 with OASW capability, 1 TCI-Capable

Phase 1: Scouting the area (Unlocking the Boss Route)

This is pretty straightforward, as it requires you to A-Rank the Nodes A, D, K and L. You have one LBAS at your disposal, which you can send to help you complete these nodes. The maximum Range required is 5

Recommended Composition is 1CL 5DD or 1(F)BB(V) 1CL 4DD
The Route is C-F-B-A/C-E-F-B-A with C and B being fairly unimpressive enemy torpedo squadrons and F, E being choice nodes
Node A is a Submarine Node, bringing ASW-Equipment is recommended.
- A Battleship will enable a second shelling phase if you struggle to kill the subs

Recommended Composition is 1CL 5DD or 6DD
The Route is C-E-H-D with C and H being fairly unimpressive enemy torpedo squadrons and F being a choice node
- There is a RADAR-Check requiring you to bring at least 2 Surface RADARs
Node D is a Submarine Node, bringing ASW-Equipment is recommended.

Recommended Composition is 1CL 5DD, 1(F)BB(V) 1CL 4DD or 1CA(V) 1CL 4DD
The Route is C-F-G-K or C-E-F-G-K with C and G being fairly unimpressive enemy torpedo squadrons and F, E being choice nodes
- There is a RADAR-Check requiring you to bring at least 2 Surface RADARs
Node K is a Surface Combat Node containing an Abyssal CVL. You can consider bringing Airpower or AACI to combat this

Recommended Composition is 1(F)BB(V) 1CL 4DD, 1CA(V) 1CL 4DD or 1(F)BB(V) 1CL 1-2CVL 2-3DD
The Route is C-E-H-L with C and H being fairly unimpressive enemy torpedo squadrons and E being a choice node
- There is a RADAR-Check requiring you to bring at least 2 Surface RADARs
Node L is a Surface Combat Node

Completing these tasks will unlock Node N containing the Boss

Phase 2: Fighting Summer French Battleship Princess

To clear the map, you are required to deplete the HP Bar by damaging the Summer French Battleship Princess and sink her on Last Dance. As she has up to 254 Armour on Last Dance, bringing TCI or Ships with historical Bonus is highly recommended.

As the Preboss nodes are fairly weak, you can send a 5 Range LBAS to the Boss. You are required to have 58 Fighterpower to meet Air Denial on all compositions.

AS on the boss itself ranges from 108-257, so plan the Aircraft of the LBAS and your Fleet accordingly

There are two routes:

Recommended Composition is 1(F)BB(V) 1CA(V) 1CL 3DD
Recommended LBAS for First Land Base is 1-2 Fighter / 2-3 Torpedo Bomber or Land Base Bombers
The Route is C-E-F-G-M-N
- Nodes C, G being unimpressive torpedo squadrons, M being a subnode, E, F being choice nodes and N being the Boss node
- There is a RADAR-Check requiring you to bring at least 2 Surface RADARs
- There is a LoS-Check at node G
This approach limits the Airpower you are allowed to bring to the boss, so you might not be able to make use of Daytime Special Attacks
Bringing Boss Support is recommended

Recommended Composition is 1(F)BB(V) 1CL 1-2CVL 2-3DD or '1(F)BB(V) 1CL 1CVL 1CA(V) 2DD
Recommended LBAS for First Land Base is 1 Fighter / 3 Torpedo Bomber or Land Base Bombers
The Route is C-E-H-L-N
- Nodes C,H and L being surface combat nodes, E being a choice node and N being the Boss node
- There is a RADAR-Check requiring you to bring at least 2 Surface RADARs
- There is a LoS-Check at node H
This approach allows you to bring more daytime firepower to the boss as achieving Air superiority and using special attacks will help your Damage. However, you will be arriving under a slight Ammo Penalty as you are facing three preboss-nodes.
Bringing Boss Support is recommended
