This map is fairly straightforward, although you need to be rather thorough to receive the hidden objective. Primary Objectives
- Destroy all enemy airfields.
- Sink the USS Yorktown.
- Sink the USS Enterprise.
Secondary Objectives
- Sink the USS Atlanta.
- Put 30 planes in the air.
Hidden Objectives
- Destroy all fuel tanks.
The destruction of enemy airpower is first and foremost here. You can easily knock off one of the secondary objectives and complete a primary objective right away - start the mission by splitting your force up in two. The carriers should move south, toward the shipyard island, and have the Fusō advance with your warships to the east. You also have a submarine on this map. Send it to the water between the two largest islands on the atoll, and have all three ships - the Fusō, its cruiser escort, and your submarine - launch their planes.
Put up eight squadrons of D3A Vals and have them all charge, simultaneously, in the direction of the enemy airfields. Aim at the destruction of two of them and save the third for dessert. It's important to launch all your bombers at the airfield simultaneously, and overwhelm the enemy's Buffalo and Wildcat defences. Additionally, the tail guns provide some protection against enemy CAP. Have a seaplane - one unequipped with depth charges, preferably - assist the bombers in paving the way to the airfields. If you disable an airfield, make sure all bombers switch targets to the second one. Otherwise they'll simply circle around and do you absolutely no good.
Bombers who have unloaded their cargo should do three things, in order of priority - target the enemy fuel tanks for the hidden objective, target enemy CAP for the other bombers, and then finally target the enemy land-based anti-aircraft artillery. The destruction of the airfields is paramount, but is probably the most difficult objective in this map. That said, the Fusō can pretty much handle the entire map alone.
Neutralize the airfield with bombers, the Fusō, or a combination of both. Ensure, however, to put up, at some point, four squadrons of planes from both carriers for the secondary objective.
