Next Event - General Information
Our next event will be a “Sink the [Insert Battleship]” variant similar to the Scharnhorst one run last year. This time however there will be some major improvements, firstly the Allied team is entirely composed of Air power while the Axis/IJN side is mostly vessels. In essence this event is a Air Defence/Escort mission for the Japs and a Strike mission for the Allies. The Victory condition for the Aircraft team is the Destruction of the enemy Battleship (IJN Fuso or possibly Kongo), the Japs win if their Flagship survives all 3 main waves of Aircraft.

How Will it Run?
The IJN team will head south as soon as the match starts and form a circular defence formation around the Flagship. The First wave of Aircraft will include the Fighters and Dive Bombers which will take off from the Carriers one by one, form up and head towards the enemy fleet via directions from the Scouts. Scout Aircraft can immediately begin searching once spawned. Once the Air Strike force reaches the target, fighter escorts will strafe/bomb the Jap Fleet softening their defences and providing a distraction for the Dive Bombers. Once enough Aircraft have returned/respawned at the Carriers the 2nd wave can begin (the TBF Avengers).
