Navy
Destroyers - These huge floating guns are great for moving
round into difficult positions to bombard the enemy's ships or landing
positions. These ships have depth charges and naval battles are great
fun.
Aircraft Carriers - These have two planes on them and should
be used to best effect, try to move the carrier with the destroyer,
to provide anti aircraft cover using the AA guns and planes. Turn
this huge hulk of metal inland so that the planes can attack straight
onto the enemy positions.
Submarines - These have torpedoes and are deadly things, only
available in multiplayer. Watch out for Depth charges from lurking
destroyers, which have radars to hit the subs.
Landing craft - These are good for getting large amounts of
men ashore quickly. Also use these for AA duties with their machine
guns. The Japanese boats give the driver complete cover, but the gunner
is very exposed, while the American versions give reasonable cover
to both driver and gunner, though both are exposed.
