I'm playing with RSRD Campaigns in career mode.

I just came across one of the largest task forces I have seen in the game to date in "The Slot" of the Solomons. Its 1942, so low use of IJN radar.

Its a tight place to battle with only a few escape routes.

The task force is over 15 ships large, with a couple of juicey battleship targets in the center. All in a circle with some squirrelly destroyers jumping around.

Other than the long distance 6000+yard fire all 6 salvo blind, what kind of strategy do most people use to sink one of the juicy targets?

So far I have tried a peek-aboo with destroyers, that come running. I can get 3 to chase me, dive, come up about 5000 yards out and surface run at the group or surface run out front of the group, but again, the closer they get the more of a chance the destroyers come running in, so I wind up with a 6 salvo blind shot at the group.

What would do you do?
