Occasionally, to the north, you'll encounter a [[Battlestations: Pacific/Allied Warships#Narwhal-class|Narwhal-class submarine]]. This can be easily sunk by recon planes launched from your battleship and your cruiser. Also send the destroyer to hunt it and make things quick. It will invariably head for your carriers, but you can turn this against it by moving into the shallow water around the islands. Don't move in, though, until you've neutralized the enemy command buildings - thereby preventing enemy coastal guns from firing on the carriers. Although the carriers are not necessary for victory, it's best to avoid damage to them where possible. | Occasionally, to the north, you'll encounter a [[Battlestations: Pacific/Allied Warships#Narwhal-class|Narwhal-class submarine]].

Neutralize the airfield with bombers, the ''Fusō'', or a combination of both. As you close in on the enemy islands, your NPCs will state that an [[Battlestations: Pacific/Allied Warships#Atlanta-class|Atlanta-class cruiser]] is closing in on the islands | Neutralize the airfield with bombers, the ''Fusō'', or a combination of both. As you close in on the enemy islands, your NPCs will state that an [[Battlestations: Pacific/Allied Warships#Atlanta-class|Atlanta-class cruiser]] is closing in on the islands. It will always spawn in front of your planes so it won't be possible to flank to the north to try to avoid it. Its AA defenses can make bombing the island - and it - problematic. This is what you've positioned your submarine earlier for - use it to eliminate the Atlanta with a few well-placed torpedoes. Be careful around the islands, however, because enemy PTs lurk around, and try not to surface near the Atlanta or near any coastal guns on Midway. Although you can also use your dive bombers and torpedo bombers to eliminate the Atlanta, it's best to use a boat of some kind - the Atlanta will cause unnecessary damage to your air forces. If you lack the submarine, launch a few squadrons of Kate torpedo bombers once a few spaces have cleared on your carriers, and send these in to attack - three or four squadrons should take the ship out in a matter of moments, and these can then be kept in the air for the incoming carriers. | ||
Once the enemy no longer has the airfields and the [[Battlestations: Pacific/Allied Warships#Atlanta-class|Atlanta-class cruiser]] is down, take some time to ensure the enemy does not have any more fuel stocks on Midway. These are easy to find - the large fat cylinders are your objective. Take a plane and fly over '''both''' islands in the atoll, destroying all of them. On the shipyard island, there are three of these cylinders (they are grouped together), and on the airfield island, there are six fuel tanks in three groups of two. The only indication of you completing this objective is the sound saying you received a naval supply, so be thorough and take your time - the enemy is not in a position to stop you. To make things easier, neutralize the enemy command building (that is, the command building on the shipyard island and the radar tower on the airfield island) to silence all land-based AA guns. Don't bother trying to capture either island, however. Also, have your submarine sails to the northeast of the airfield island, near the border to await incoming enemy fleet. | Once the enemy no longer has the airfields and the [[Battlestations: Pacific/Allied Warships#Atlanta-class|Atlanta-class cruiser]] is down, take some time to ensure the enemy does not have any more fuel stocks on Midway.
