[SCRUB] Aotearas Players 8,460 posts 13,076 battles Report post #1 Posted March 1, 2018 Keep the Gascogne away from the Richelieu, ram it if necessary, just keep it away. Enemy ships seem to move at 1/4 speed. Keep the Gascogne away from the Richelieu! Put a cruiser towards G10 at the start of the game, DDs will spawn there, no more than one though, would be a waste for more. Richelieu and Gascogne, keep them apart at all costs, TK the Gascogne if you have to!!! Aircraft spawn first from southwest (tier I fighters), south (tier I divebombers) and northwest (tier VIII divebombers and fighters from the GZ), south (tier I torpedobombers, lots) and northwest again (tier VIII divebombers and fighters again, from the GZ). Enemy CV (Adler) is northeast but surrounded by lots of cruisers, no point trying to rush him if you have ~15km range you can shoot it. Whatever you do, do not let the Gascogne near the Richelieu, seriously!!!1!11!! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I want to know why you shouldn't let Gascogne and Richell together - and I guess I'll have to go play it to find out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darth_Glorious Beta Tester 2,464 posts Report post #7 Posted March 1, 2018 Always focus enemy DDs first. Easy 5 stars win or waste of time depends on that Don't go behind Richelieu bot (Ruan) in the later part of the game, charge to those DDs if necessary to bait them to torp you. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[POP] AndyHill Weekend Tester 1,433 posts Report post #10 Posted March 1, 2018 - You need to send a nimble cruiser with hydro to dance with the dragons near the end point before your flagship gets there. - Pay attention to the carrier, just about everything else happens almost automatically, but that carrier may slip away and survive if you don't focus it down fast - Also earlier in the mission there's a Bayern or something like that; pretty harmless in itself, but it's part of a secondary mission and needs to be spotted and focused down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] aboomination Players 5,763 posts 16,940 battles Report post #12 Posted March 1, 2018 Tip: don't shoot down the first wave of planes in time - that way you'll be able to farm air kills non stop for the rest of the operation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was in either an Atlanta (and dead), an Indianapolis (and dead) or a Belfast, where it spawned behind an island and it took too long to get round to it.

There are two different versions, depending on where the storm is at the beginning....sometimes south sometimes north. I have had 4 or 5 goes and twice was south.

Darth_Glorious Beta Tester 2,464 posts Report post #20 Posted March 2, 2018 It is a bit harder if the storm coming from the northeast, the big island in lines 1-2 D-E can cover 3 approaching enemy DDs to ambush your Ruan bot near the evac zone, so you have to rush forward to deal with them fast.

Atlanta is an excellent choice if you can aim with it, and has AA that will shred the planes (100+). Only problem is its not very good at killing the GZ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
