==Introduction==
 
==Introduction==
On this map, you will be using a single fleet to complete the entire Convoy Operation.
     −
In this Event, the following should be noted:
+
* This map uses a '''Single Fleet'''
 
  −
* You will use a Single Fleet
   
* You will have 2 Land Bases accessible (1 available for Sortie).
 
* You will have 2 Land Bases accessible (1 available for Sortie).

+
* Phase 1.5 can be done before the completion of Phase 1.

==Preparations==
 
==Preparations==
   −
On this guide and with this map, it's entirely possible to run the entire event map using 1 whole fleet with at most 6-8 ships depending on who you bring and how you use them.
+
It is possible to complete this map with only 6 ships locked to the Hi-Convoy Tag. Certain concessions to unlock requirements or changing tasks might increase that number.
 
  −
Because of this, the information provided will cover the '''Entire event map''' for what you will use overall on this map.

Other Notes about the map:
 +
 
 +
* Node A's airpower is 118-143 AP | 264 - 321 AS | 528 - 642 AS+ on Hard Mode
 +
* Node C's airpower is 164-189 AP | 368 - 425 AS | 735 - 849 AS+ on Hard Mode
 +
* Most enemy comps will consist of light weight ships with possible light carriers with the exception of nodes P and U.
 +
* Vanguard Formation can help increase your pass rate in these fights

'''Beginner Strategies'''
 +
<br>
 +
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>To get AS regardless, you need to have at least the following, setting both bases to defend:
    +
* 7x 10+ AA and one 11+ AA Plane or Interceptor
 +
* The above only works against the weakest composition, stronger planes can also take on harder ones.
 +
* Therefore you might need to rerun this map until you roll the desired enemy air raid composition.
 +
* '''If you are mathematically unable to achieve this, consider dropping to Normal difficulty or obtaining the required planes via Development/Improvement or Quests'''
