depth charges are used for the sub not ships.. use torps rather then bombs.. the torps do more damage because they are below the water lvl.

What i did against the Fuso (im guessing you mean the Fuso battleship) is send 5 torp bombers 5 dive bombers and 2 Fighters. The two fighters are to draw the zeros away and i send in the torp and dive bombers in. It may take a few trips to sink it. after a while the zeros will have been distroyed so that means you could add more attack planes in to finish the job.

btw Depth charges will not hurt the ship. use these against subs only. Use Bombs and Torps only.

Especially in SP.
The AI just puts everyone at general quarters so torps do massive damage against ships.

I have just done this mission on veteran level here is how to do it.Send two squadrons of fighters to deal with the zeros launch two squadrons of dive bombers send one to the the two destroyers that are beside the first ship you sank in the first part of the mission.Then when your fighters have cleared the skies order them to land while they are heading back order the second squadron to dive bomb one of the two escorting DD`s.Keep doing this until all four DD`s are sunk thus completing a hidden objective.Then when all four squadrons have landed launch all four squadrons of avengers equipped with torps.They will make short work of the BB.

After the first part of the mission, your men will realize that that ship you just sank was not the battleship. The battleship, in fact, is headed for Lady Lex. Put up 3 squadrons of Avenger Torpedo Bombers and 1 squadron of F4F Wildcats. Send them towards the Fuso. Have the Wildcats take on the enemy aircraft while the 9 Avengers torpedo the battleship to its death.

Best regards and happy gaming!

The Admiral

I will let you in on a secret, the Fuso goes 20, and the carrier goes 20, so the Fuso will never catch you, only you will go off map or somthing of that sort. any ways, torps. will own it. Also, you have a lot of time, so use it. 1st send in fighters, kill the zeroes, then divebombers, kill DD. then there is minimal AA. then, just a ton of torps. and BYE BYE Fuso!!

at my knows a fuso is a CA and DD's are more vulnerable to bombs then CA's

and to hit a DD with a torpedo you have to get pretty close to have a chance to hit it

Yes but everybody should know what a depth charge is if theyve ever seen a naval movie or are interested in the Navy at all before buying this game, and they should also know that Depth Charges are used for subs.
