Best Strategy for Pearl Harbor?

Post by Longasc »

I never managed to fulfill all objectives.

I shot down 5 fighters, defended the battle ship and got a naval commander and some extra flaks. But the 5th airfield for fighter cover secondary objective never worked out for me.

If you have a solution, it would be much appreciated!

you need to drive directly down to activate the AA. Your jeep then rushes to the objectives in the lower left corner. From there your jeep drives back past the harbor and to the far right objectives, while the activated AA w/transport goes north. when the AA w/transport gets to the next AA in the north, the one without transports goes further north, while the other with transports goes to the right across the middle of the map and activates the last obj. Dont stop for anything with these units.

I figured it out, though I must say either I couldn't quite follow you, or I did it differently.

Let me explain how I did it:

First Jeep goes to the right and unlocks an AA, that AA grabs the harbor airfields. Then the Jeep drives left, the AA with the truck goes RIGHT to the far away airfield, while the Jeep goes up the Northern airfield. From there it drives East to capture the two seaside objectives. The AA unlocked at the Northern Airfield slowly walks up to the radar tower and unlocks the naval commander.

Was that the same as yours, Homer?! :)

Speaking of Homer, "D'oh!" I never though of using an AA unit to wake up other units! The two times I played Pearl Harbor, the jeep did all the traveling around while I hustled AA units down to the harbor. I won on middle difficulty both times but never had more than one severely damaged battleship left at the end.

Longasc, yes it was almost like my suggestion, only I drive the jeep east and the AA w/transport north after activating the obj. in the lower left corner.
