How do you do the level 60 BP challenge “Excellent Naval Air Defense Specialist” it seems impossible and i need really a help…

The one asking to destroy 5 player aerial vehicles by operating the guns of the coastal fleet in manual mode…

It’s probably easier to do in Naval Arcade given that the new aim system means you just have to aim at the aircraft and the guns will automatically lead themselves. In my experience people also seem more willing to use planes in Arcade compared to Realistic.

Also make sure you are using coastal that has decent AA armament - multiple 20-37mm (bofors 40L70 are great too - 40/60 not so much), or US multiple .50’s, Sov multiple 12.7’s etc!!

I’ve done this so I’ll share how.

Do it in arcade for a start, you get lead targets and enemy markers over the planes. Although I’ve noticed that depending on how far the plane is form yoj depends on how you have to sim at it, lead markers seem to be what to aim for when they appear but the body of the plane when they aren’t.
Either way just target the planes and spam guns at the things until theyre hit

I usually have a lineup of pt-811, frank knox and gearing.
I’ll normally take the pt out first in a match.

However for this challenge I would take gearing or Knox out first and second and then the pt boat last to allow the enemy players to get to the point of spawning planes a bit. Any coastal with similar type of guns will be fine.

I wouldn’t chase anything or attack anyone unless I had to then to not draw any attention, I’d knock my engines immediately into reverse on spawn to look where I am then get into cover as quickly and as best as possible and sit there waiting for planes to come in

It’s then down to the luck of if a plane comes for you or not or comes your way enough that you can actively go after them and hit them easily enough. Some maps really help with this, it also helps to know where the planes spawn from and fly into battle from too.

If you go into the match with the attitude of “if I get one in this then bonus” and just play each match to play the match not hope for planes you’ll find it suddenly gets done quickly.

I think it took me 3 matches to actually complete, and about 8 matches in total to get that done

Good luck!
