''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. | ''Prince of Wales'' shouldn't last too long.

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. | But whatever happened to those torpedo bombers?

There will be two waves of Buffalos, each consisting of what appears to be at least ten to fifteen fighters. Once you deal with the group already attacking your group, the second wave will appear at twelve o'clock low. Focus on one target at a time and bring the buffalos down. | There will be two waves of Buffalos, each consisting of what appears to be at least ten to fifteen fighters.

Like the Betty, the Nell has received significant armour upgrades since the last game. Its weapons are also far more superior than before, and as a result players will find the G3M and the G4M much more independent from the previous game. However, its improved power is still not a reason to leave it without escort. | |||
Once your bomber formation is in range, you'll reach a checkpoint and proceed onto the third and final phase. | Once your bomber formation is in range, you'll reach a checkpoint and proceed onto the third and final phase. | ||

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. | Destroying Repulse is even easier than ''Prince of Wales'', given that torpedoes are a battleship's nemesis.
