Line 21: Line 21:
If you're playing on Veteran (without the TBM Avenger), leave at least one squad of Wildcats in the air. Right as you send in your attack aircraft for a bombing or torpedo run, have your squad of Wildcats move ahead in front and target the Zeros. Even if your Wildcats get shot down, this will distract the fighters long enough to keep them off your Avenger and Dauntless squads. Repeat until ''Junyo'' sinks beneath the waves.

If you have the TBM Avenger and you do not like losing aircrafts, leave three of Wildcats in the air to protect your Enterprise. Then launch the TBM Avenger will 8 rockets. Fire your rockets at the carrier at a distance of approximately 1.3 to 1 mile to avoid AA gun fire. Once you've fired all 8 rockets, immediately make a 180 degree turn and wait for your rockets to refill. Repeat the attack four or five times and you'll be able to take down the carrier with minimal loss of planes.
