Since the shipyard is immune to torpedo attack, the enemy deploys massive waves of SBDs at you. As soon as one squad is down, another rises to replace it - further complicating your issues in defending the hangar. Chances are you'll have to perform this section of the challenge many, many times - each time, you'll have to confront the B-17s and the previous destroyer-attacking SBDs and TBF/Ds, making this challenge mission one of the most annoying to complete. | Since the shipyard is immune to torpedo attack, the enemy deploys massive waves of SBDs at you.

Don't set up a CAP around the shipyard - your Zeroes will engage at too short a range. Put them as close to the SBD spawn point as possible, and don't let any bombers get through | Don't set up a CAP around the shipyard - your Zeroes will engage at too short a range.

If you have to pursue a bomber that's on its way to the hangar, switch to the closest squadron. You can easily forget that you have the ability to switch planes - use this to switch to the plane closest to the enemy you want downed. | If you have to pursue a bomber that's on its way to the hangar, switch to the closest squadron.
