I tried the scenario several times till I had all secondary objectives, my initial mistake was to steam South. I didn't pay attention to the location of the fuel tanks. Later on I ignored the southern island and steamed right through to the west, bombing everything along the way.
I bought a Lexington Carrier - for sinking transports its a great ship, afaik the Lex was an old Battleship turned Carrier and it shows.
I bought two Dauntlesses for it, and one Wildcat. IMO I will change that to 2 Wildcats 1 Dauntless in future, 1 as CAP and 1 to escort the Dauntless. I just wondered about the "normal" bombing capability of the Devastator, by default it comes with a Torpedo and while effective against ships I found the Dauntless more versatile and easier to understand/use.
How about you? And what did you pick as specializations? I went with Field Medic and Flight School given the choices.
