The ''Yamato'' and ''Musashi'' are the core of your operation. In addition to having slightly heavier armour, the ''Yamato'' and ''Musashi'' carry 18.1 inch guns versus the Iowa's 16, so you have a slight firepower advantage. Duke it out with the ''Iowa'' and ''New Jersey'' until you or they go down. If the Americans sink the ''Yamato'' and ''Musashi'', you're left with the ''Chikuma'', a few destroyers, the shipyard, and (if the Americans didn't bomber rush) your airfields. In other words, you've pretty much lost. If you defeat the ''Iowa'' and ''New Jersey'', the Americans can still fall back on their superior air power and damage or possibly destroy both your battleships before they can close in with the ''Wasp'', especially if it's in the corner. | The ''Yamato'' and ''Musashi'' are the core of your operation.

You can either try charging the north BB into action against ''New Jersey'' right away and possibly sink the ''Wasp'' early, but you'll come under fire from the ''New Jersey'' and, depending on the skill of your opponent, either take considerable damage or sink outright. | You can either try charging the north BB into action against ''New Jersey'' right away and possibly sink the ''Wasp'' early, but you'll come under fire from the ''New Jersey'' and, depending on the skill of your opponent, either take considerable damage or sink outright. As for the southern force, you have the numbers advantage and with accurate fire from your battleship, probably destroy the southern enemy force, then charge to kill the shipyard then north to the airfield. And if your giving up the airfields, deploy all fighters to provide fighter cover for the battleships as long as possible | ||
Or, if you want to play it safer, try combining Yamato and Musashi. Then take on the Iowa or the New Jersey two on one. | |||
The mission becomes far simpler if the Americans lose the battleships, though. Then all you have to do is hunt for the ''Wasp'', and typically it's stuck up in the corner. Even if it's not in the corner, just send a few destroyers or the ''Chikuma'' to take out the airfields. Doing so will reduce the number of planes the Americans can field by a whopping two-thirds, so do so as soon as you can. After that, just send a few destroyers on a search-and-destroy mission for the ''Wasp'' to end the mission. | The mission becomes far simpler if the Americans lose the battleships, though.
