If you dont have access to High Altitude Interceptors, your effective Interception power is halved. You need 539 Air Power to AS the easiest Air raid.
<br> <br>However it is still remotely possible to clear under this method if you can meet a few requirements:
<br> <br>To get AS regardless, you need to have at least the following, setting both bases to defend:
* Consider 7 Prototype Reppu and one +11 AA Plane or Interceptor
* 7x 10+ AA and one 11+ AA Plane or Interceptor
* Alternatively, if you have British BB, you can consider making Spitfires and training them to >>
* The above only works against the weakest composition, stronger planes can also take on harder ones.
* From there you will need to wait for the weakest Land Base attack to occur and hope for AS
* Therefore you might need to rerun this map until you roll the desired enemy air raid composition.
* '''If your unable to achieve this, consider dropping to Normal difficulty'''
* '''If you are mathematically unable to achieve this, consider dropping to Normal difficulty or obtaining the required planes via Development/Improvement or Quests'''
