Your first target will be the ''Prince of Wales'', since apparently your torpedo bomber pals are a little behind. The British have three destroyers escorting - the HMAS ''Vampire'', ''Electra'', and ''Express''. None of the destroyers are a pressing concern - all of them are represented by the American Clemson-class, and as such lack a lot of anti-air weaponry. As a result, try not to dawdle in their destruction - after all, they aren't your objective, and the Betty has apparently received some armour upgrades since the last game. It also carries many more bombs - bombs that are now effective against battleships.

Stoop down to a low altitude and fly over the length of ''Prince of Wales''. While at low altitude, you won't have to lead your target as much. Additionally, by flying over the length of the ship (stern to bow or bow to stern, instead of side-to-side) you can guarantee all bombs hit, causing maximum destruction.

''Prince of Wales'' shouldn't last too long. If you manage to get all your bombs to hit, it should only take about four or five runs at most. You only have five squadrons to do this with, but that should be more than enough. For those who have already beaten the campaign (especially for those reattempting this mission on Veteran difficulty), feel free to use the Ohka Carrier to cause considerable damage to the enemy battleships. Also if you got the Mustang DLC pack, also feel free to use Japan's best level bomber: The Nakajima G5N Shinzan (Allied Code Name: Liz). It matches the US B17 in pretty much everything.

But whatever happened to those torpedo bombers? It appears that several squadrons of Australian F2A Buffalos have made their way into your squadron. Shifting now to the G3M Nells, your job is to ride shotgun on the bombers. You now have complete control over a bomber's turrets. Use them to shoot down the Australians and protect your bomber formation.

Destroying ''Repulse'' is even easier than ''Prince of Wales'', given that torpedoes are a battleship's nemesis. As with the previous encounter with ''Prince of Wales'', try to dart in and out with torpedo runs against ''Repulse'' to sink her in short order. Don't bother with the destroyers - they aren't a big enough threat to worry about them.

You'll know you're getting close when the British begin sending SOS signals via morse code. That, and of course, you'll be able to see ''Repulse'' listing and her dwindling health bar. This means you must work quicker, however: reinforcements are underway for Force Z.
