Overview
Walktrough and best strategy to beat the mission.
Introduction
This is a tough mission. There are plenty of strategies on the web for this, but they are one thing in common. They s*ck. I will show you strategy to not only beat the mission, but to do it barely undamaged and without loss of a single ship. Let’s begin.
Getting started
You will face 5 waves of enemy units. Each wave consists of a cruiser, and two destroyers for escort.
First 3 waves are light cruisers, next heavy cruisers. First thing you need to do immediately after gaining control of your ships, is to send destroyers far away ( U will not need them) and set the course of Nachi to the nearby island.
Next, you need to quickly hide behind the island. The trick here is to use environment to your advantage, and while hiding behind the island so the enemies can’t hit you, effectively destroy them with shellfire. Deal with destroyers and then finish off DeRuyter, all while hiding.
Later stages
Now all you had to do, is follow that dam… is to repeat this tactic on each wave:
Step 1 – When enemy cruiser is 1.6 miles from you, launch torpedoes at him. There is always a chance some of them will connect and make your work easier later.
Step 2 – Deal with destroyers . It’s incredibly important to finish those small fast motherf***ers first. Their pea-shooter guns can only scratch a varnish of the Nachi, but their torpedoes can pack a lot of punch. Thankfully the island is excellent shield against them. Here are some hints how to destroy them :
– When approaching head-on, aim slightly ahead
– When attacking you, you need to aim this way
Step 3 – finish off the lone cruiser – surprisingly easiest part of the cycle. While hiding wreak havoc on the enemy cruiser with your massive cannons, aim at the front part of the ship :
Repeat this cycle until Houston is no more, and then mission is over. Congratulations.
