Mission Strategies

After joining your shipmates on the deck of the USS California, your valiant fight ends with an explosion that sends you tumbling into the harbor. A passing PT Boat skipper hauls you out of the water, and the fight resumes. As one of the only ships on the move, you grab the deck gun and do your best to slow the Japanese air attack, while escorting the USS Nevada out of the harbor.

Introduction

As soon as you find your sea legs, swivel the turret to the left and start firing, while a wave of Japanese planes passes low and fast.

Mission Objectives

Defend Battleship Row Escort Nevada Shoot down 20 planes (bonus) Destroy 75 planes (bonus)
Center the turret over the bow and take out another group of dive-bombers. Another wave of planes passes by, but this time they are climbing. Elevate the turret and keep up a steady stream of fire as they ascend.
PRIMAS OFFICIAL STRATEGY GUIDE
When you hear Gunny shout that the Oklahoma is going down, the PT Boat turns hard to starboard, almost clipping the severely damaged battleship. More planes pass overhead, including one diving straight toward your boat.
When the boat completes its turn, look for more bombers overhead as you return to Battleship Row.
As you clear the last two ships, including the capsized Oklahoma, a pair of planes dives in hard and fast on a strafing run.Three more planes join in from across the harbor. After passing the Oklahoma, the boat maneuvers into Battleship Row. Several planes pass directly overhead. Elevate the turret and fire at close range, while watching for more bombers coming at you.The Japanese planes are moving slowly, so you should score several hits.
[TIP]. As the pl anes erupt into flames, your view is almo st completely obsc ured. If you continue firing between th e battleships, you ll hit more plan es as they fly toward you.
When you hear Gunny call To the left! swing the turret and look for five more planes flying parallel to the ships. Keep the turret level and fire across the formation for five easy kills.
p r i m a g a m e s. c o m
As the PT Boat passes the last battleship on the left, you see a squadron of five Japanese planes crossing your path from right to left. Line up your sights on the lead plane and rake the planes with steady fire as they fly overhead and then bank to the left.
[TIP]. You can sw ivel the turret and continue firing at planes after they pass you, but do nt linger too lo ng, because most of the action is to starboard.
After a bomb explodes close to the boat, the radio goes out and the turret loses pressure.Youre unable to fire, but there are no Japanese planes directly overhead, so you can take a breather. As the crew struggles to get the turret and radio up and running, you watch in horror as a cluster of bombs destroys the USS Arizona.

MISSION: 2

After the Arizona is mortally wounded, your boat turns and re-enters Battleship Row, where the scene is almost complete devastation.The radio comes to life with a cry for help from the USS Nevada.They are requesting an escort as they try to leave the clogged harbor.
After narrowly missing a turning ship, youll see multiple formations of dive-bombers attacking the Nevada. Fire at the first planes coming head on.Then swing the turret to fire on the next approaching formation. If you wait for them to pass overhead, the damage to your boat from the tail gunners is almost always lethal.
The targets are too numerous to count, but dont get distracted by the planes off in the distance. Stay focused on the bombers overhead. If multiple planes pass your boat intact, swing around and fire before the tail gunners turn you to flotsam.

If you can hold your own against this massive attack, the Nevada will safely clear the harbor.Youve done your job, but the battle is just beginning. Next stop: the Philippines.
