<u>Overview</u>: A map that's not too difficult for low level admirals who have the right vessels. This map is generally for leveling ships that are armor and firepower heavy. Eg CA(V), BB(V), CV(L). The node offers a decent amount of exp at the cost of morale so be aware of that. Not as effective as 3-2 so use it as a leveling spot with the goal of clearing 2-4 to advance to 3-2.

* Enemy fleet does not have any air power, so there is no need for fighter (green) planes: Use torpedo (blue) and dive (red) bombers instead.

* Never go past the 2nd node. 3rd node will have enemy carriers and battleships and is unsuitable for farming.

<u>Notes</u>: The nodes after the first are progressively more difficult. You can try them out to get a feeling for the difficulty. Take your time to let your ships recover from fatigue.

* For more experienced Admirals that do not need ships drops, leveling speed can also be increased by sortieing with maxed out ship slots so that you do not waste time getting new ships.

* Using spare level 1 ship drops can help reduce the cost of sorties. This is usually used with the objective of focusing XP on a single ship as it takes other slots away from being able to gain XP. When the ship is heavily damaged or runs out of supplies (fuel/ammo), they can be used as modernization fodder or scrapped. <u>Examples:</u>

==== Artillery Spotting ====
* Artillery spotting helps increase the chances of doing damage and the amount of damage done.
* Achieve air superiority an air phase to utilize it.
* Double attack, Mixed and Cut-in will vary damage outputs.
* Typically put Double attack (with Radar) or Mixed (AP) on the ship you want to MVP.
* Cut-in setup can be good for supporting ships as it helps boost accuracy and damage slightly but does not have chance for high amounts of damage like the other modes.
==== Carrier Equipment Configuration ====
* Torpedo bombers tend to do more damage on average. Dive bombers have more consistent damage.
* Both contribute similar amounts to shelling damage (Dive bomb stat adds +2 firepower and Torpedo stat adds 1.5 firepower).
* You can place torpedo bombers on a carrier you want to MVP, and weaker or less bombers on other carriers.
* A Saiun on any carrier avoids getting T crossed (both sides do much less damage). It is often useful to help you achieve consistent results.
