- Although there is not strategy guide or book available for the game, below
- are some tips from the testers.
-
- - Try to spot with AWACS and use long range missiles to sink enemies from a
- distance. Do not waste your
- multi-head missiles unless you have good radar contact.
-
- - If you have an island falling under attack, and you have no ships in the
- area, get your cruise missiles ready. As soon as the enemy gets near the
- island, begin attacking. Make sure to sink the ships, otherwise, they will
- repair and come back to haunt you. You might want to leave a fleet of
- missile subs near an island for garrison duty.
-
- - If you have a fleet with nothing but a carrier, preferably a super
- carrier, send it into battle first. Super carriers are very hardy and take
- a long time to sink. Move the carrier right next to the enemy, and it can
- act as a spotter for a fleet farther away with a long-range weapon.
-
- - If an enemy sub fleet is close to your fleet, and you have helicopters on
- sub defense near them, use the helicopters instead of your ships' weapons.
- The choppers are much more accurate hitting subs than the ships are.
-
- - Always target warships before carriers. Carriers have no weapons usually
- have already launched all their aircraft when you are in firing range.
- They are no threat after the planes are launched and take and enormous
- amount of firepower to destroy.
-
- - If an enemy is attacking you from the far side of one of their islands,
- try to grab the island first. Do not try to sail around the island, as this
- will give them all the time in the world to fire at you, using the island
- as a spotter. Take the island to turn the tables on the enemy.
-
- - When going into battle, always launch all aircraft . If you lose the
- fleet, immediately switch to the circling squadrons(if there are any left),
- and keep attacking with missiles. You can often cause the enemy to lose the
- remains of their victorious fleet.
