The Battle of Port Arthur Stage 5 is going to be quite a tough task for an average player like myself, but I know I have the ability to complete this Stage, as I did in completing the Battle of Makassar Strait.

I was thinking maybe the best ship for me to use would be the Zao, what other ships do you recommend for completion of the 3 tasks within Stage 5?

It want us to do that in one battle? Entirely possible with Zao, Hindy, Des Moines. Mino. Basically a tier 10 cruiser. Or a tier 10 BB maybe. Possibly Iowa/Missouri.

Guess WG wants to flip the finger to non tier 10 and non unicums.

High tier ships.  BBs and CVs would be as capable as the cruisers/dds mentioned above

That's a pretty crazy goal...

 

I've probably done that a handful (maybe 10 or so times) in all the games I've played.

 

So 160k damage with a variety of targets :sceptic:

CV? (high tier of course) If you bait out Def. AA, even cruiser damage mission should be doable much less mission "hit DD with plane torpedo" and "kill a blueliner"

I think the Zao is probably the best bet for this one, or possibly a lucky Belfast game (With IFHE the CA damage should be easy enough)

Probably Khaba, 5k on dds is easy if you follow yours at the beggining of the game.

100K on BBs is easy, just find a group of them and farm fires.

The cruisers... thats can be tricky americans and germans can be farmed in a solo fight, but russians and japanese will probably get you. The british will probably smoke up.

Probably extremely easy in a Hakuryu in a T8 game with a potato CV adversary. Or even if the opposite CV is good, agree to allow farming lol

Lower tier CV it is doable, I think I've done these numbers in Zuiho. In any case CV gives you the option to select the targets that you need. In any other ship it would require not only playing really well but also luck finding the right target.

Yes any CV puts it more in your hands however lower tier ships may run out of HP before you're fully farmed up!! Then again Cruisers at T10 can be fairly hard for CVs to pop unless they AA bait and make them waste Defensive Fire.

 I'd laugh at the rage on both teams if that ever happened.

Khebab farming my DM????

Did you mean the contrary maybe???

 

in my DM, 5K on DD = easy, 100k on BB = achievable but the 55K on CA on top of that.... I maybe do that once every 30 games at best....

 Probably because all the cruisers have been nuked by BBs before you get a look in lol

EDIT 

I managed to get 172k in a game with the Murmansk yesterday, For the help of some T4 - T6 players, what ships do you recommend for those tiers? 

 

 

None, since mission has t6+ requirement

And on t6 scoring that would maybe be possible with great CV game, or something like Budyony/Cleveland if you are lucky enough to start bunch of fires on numerous different BBs that wont die before you manage to farm that damage.

Sadly, if Khebab player is good, and did not make a mistake to come <10km away from me while I'm in DM, he can win that 1v1 fight...

With DM bad shell arcs, and Khebabs insane speed,  hitting Khebab from 12 km is a freaking lottery...

That last mission is not easy, but neither is it extremely hard.

It should not be tough to get with any T7+ RN cruiser imho.

Your best result in Fiji after 70 games - 137,000, Neptune after 100 games - 168,000.

 

I know you've had better results in Edinburgh & Minotaur, but seriously even a player as good as you could easily go through 100 games without completing the mission, that strikes me as being extremely hard.

Just shoot him at max range, usually cruisers rage and chase you while burning and dont forget a BB can nail your citadel, not mine :P (but this will make me need to find another poor cruiser to farm)
