Your first target should be the tanker ''Horai Maru'', shown right. It's an easy target for your plane's machine guns - just aim for the flat spots to send it down. Notice the two destroyers sandwitching the ''Horai Maru'' - they'll attempt to flak you down, but as Donald you're an elite unit - you can take the punishment. | Your first target should be the tanker ''Horai Maru'', shown right.

It isn't long until Tiger Squadron enters the mission area. Coming in with SBD Dauntlesses with bombs, their objective is to hit the ''Tone''. Instead, open up the tactical map and change their target to one of the enemy destroyers. They'll do little hurt to the ''Tone'', but they should sink an enemy destroyer. | It isn't long until Tiger Squadron enters the mission area. Coming in with SBD Dauntlesses with bombs, their objective is to hit the ''Tone''. Instead, open up the tactical map and change their target to one of the enemy destroyers. They'll do little hurt to the ''Tone'', but they should sink an enemy destroyer. Follow your squadron leaders through the dive - they do a much better job than anyone can. Just make sure you fly over your target and let the wingmen fly in front. When they start to dive, you start your dive too - and you should be in a perfect opportunity to bomb the daylights out of one of the two destroyers. Once all ordnance is deployed, the squad turns around and heads for a nav point. They'll go automatically, so open the map screen and switch to Donald. Have him shoot some stuff - there isn't much to shoot aside from cargo ships, so do that while you wait for the next squadron to arrive. | ||

The next squadron to arrive is Bobcat Squadron. These guys are flying TBF/D Avengers, and honestly have enough firepower to sink the ''Tone'' in a single attack. However, the trick is to sink all the destroyers here first to save you time later - so switch targets again to the final enemy destroyer. Come in on it at low altitude and drop the torpedo when you're almost right on top of it to guarantee a direct hit. If it can sink the ''Tone'', it can sink a destroyer. The destroyer should really be sinking after only two torpedo hits, but since you have five planes in your group - you might as well the thorough. | The next squadron to arrive is Bobcat Squadron.
