How to unlock the Admiral of the Navy achievement in BATTLESHIP - Definitive Guide

The other guide is correct but I wanted to create a more gamplay oriented guide to help everyone.

Deployment:
This is the deployment I used for all 38 of the missions (8 Tutorial and 30 Main):

C X X X X X X X X D - C = Carrier
C X X X X X X X X D - B = Battleship
C X X X X X X X X D - D = Destroyer
C X X X X X X X X X - S = Submarine
C X X X X X X X P X - P = Patrol Boat
X X X X X X X X P X
X B X X X X X X X X
X B X X X X X X X S
X B X X X X X X X S
X B X X X X X X X S

Attacks:
I used almost exclusively the Carriers White attack and the Submarines Red attack, these are the two attacks around detecting entire lines of the board, the red will usually do two lines but stop when it finds a hit. Alternate between vertical and horizontal and every other line, as follows:
-----V---V---V----V---V
| X X X X X X X X X X
> X X X X X X X X X X
| X X X X X X X X X X
> X X X X X X X X X X
| X X X X X X X X X X
> X X X X X X X X X X
| X X X X X X X X X X
> X X X X X X X X X X
| X X X X X X X X X X
> X X X X X X X X X X

Once you have detected 3-5 boats then save up and use the Carriers Red attack which will always get you a better deal on Red shots, Try to never use the single Red attacks on guessing where a boat is. Also use common sense one when to change direction of the Red lines if there is a boat at the top for example and is ending the Red lines early.

Using this approach I completed each level (except level 24) in 1-2 tries, usually 1. The early 20s are the only difficult levels, levels 25-30 are the same difficulty of 1-20.

Level 24:
For this level you are going to need to get lucky, getting half the resources of the other team makes it very difficult, my only advice is that if the Carrier or Sub gets taken out early then just restart, you are going to need their attacks, and also try to use the Carriers Red attack as soon as you know about a couple of ships as resources are the main issue. For me it took about 6 goes but as I said, a lot of luck involved.

I hope this helps, If any of this is unclear, please say in the comments and I will try to explain better.

Good luck!

Yes I am. With the guide above, 26-30 took 1 try, maximum 2.

I would suggest restarting level 24 if the computer's cheating ass gets lucky within its first few strikes and gets multiple targets because you'll be wasting your time if you keep going.

I got lucky and finally beat level 24 due to the AI's stupidity. The carrier and the battleship are your two important ships.

I have been one turn away three times in a row on that stupid level 24. I had one ship coordinate left for several turns then when I was one away, they decided to stop toying with me and finish me off. This is a pretty stupid level.... EDIT: I got it on my fourth real try. I think I restarted it two or three times before really playing it because they hit my carrier the first go.

Just wanna say Screw Lvl 24. But after a hour of trying thr level. I tried your placement and only used Balloon Line and Torpedo Line to reveal. And Carrier Red when 9 Green appears. Got it on my second try of doing this. +1 for sure.

Thanks so much for this. Level 24 was such BS and I was worried that even if I got past it, the rest of the levels would be just as bad, so thanks for mentioning they go back to a normal difficulty.

This tactic isn't working at all. First two turns and I already have two ships that are destroyed by the AI. This happens time and time again.

I was afraid of what Level 24 had in store, because I got walled on some earlier levels for 5+ attempts including Level 7. The Level 24 AI found all of my ship locations in the last 5 turns of the game, but... just didn't attack them. And I got through it first try. The AI is strange.

It's a fucking LIE that 24 is the only hard one. 27 is brutal too since you can't use a single special attack. If you don't get lucky finding their patrol boat right away, you're almost guaranteed to lose while you slowly search for it.

My achievement progress didn't go up after completing Mission 26. I replayed it, and still nothing. I quit the game, and still nothing. Luckily, upon beating Mission 27, the achievement tracker went up enough to cover both missions.

Level 7 is ludicrous. Limited resources and even following the guide I've lost 17 times in a row. I can't even deploy what the guide says to use without bypassing my turn 3 times.

24 was the only level that I had to replay on my playthrough. just what helped me was to use the abilities for target line 2 per roll(cost 3 per aircraft carrier) and the 2 lines ability that ends in a hit(costs 5 per submarine)

Level 24 was the worst of the game by far. I'm not convinced the AI doesn't know the placement of your ships. I moved my Patrol Boat to J5-J6 and it seemed to help in the sense it wasn't nuked into oblivion on the opponent's second turn.

Hi All,

not really a guide, just a heads up to others, in case they run into the same issue:

I have finished my last 3 campaign mission today, received the final congratulation screen and the achievement stayed at 92% completion rate. I have even replayed the last training scenario, nothing. Then later today noticed, that the achievement have popped an hour later, when the game wasnt even on...

So dont get scared if the same happens.

Lets add some guide related parts as well, not that the game needs it... There are 8 training and 30 campaign scenarios, unlocking one after other with completing the previous ones. Some in the early 20's can be a bit more difficult, but dont get scared, the last 2-3 will be very easy with plenty of resources and a weak AI. Place your ships always to the 4 side rows / columns, use airplane carriers / torpedoes to recon, mines / carriers / single shots to destroy afterwards and you will win 90% of time. Placement to the sides is the key, cant remember losing a single battle since I started to do it.

Hello, I read your post but I do not understand your tactic to win a 90% a each can be more clear because I struggle mission 7 or the AI more than we

Sure, I hope you read this.
Always place your ships to the top/bottom row or to the two side rows, never to the center. The AI always shoots to the middle squares at the beginning.
For your own shots, always collect resources to maximize the cost/squares revealed ratio. Use single shots only in the endgame.
Does this help?

Thumbs down as this is not a true solution. Need to be more specific on what missions are difficult and how to have a good strategy on those missions.

Sorry it couldnt help you, though I indicated at the beginning that this is less of a guide and more of a warning.

As for the strategy for the more difficult missions (which missions can vary per person), my advice is in the second part of my post, regarding ship placement and weapons to be used.

Good luck for beating the game, despite :)

Mission 24 is next to impossible, been trying for 10 hours today doing every strat I could find and I never stand a chance. Heard there was an update for the game and I don't know if it messed with the game's AI. I guess I just don't have luck on my side, will file this as a will not complete game and delete it.

After 10 hours dont give up... Place ships to the top / bottom rows and to the ones on the side. 2-2 to each side of the square. Use the carriers and the torpedoes in every second row / column to find the ships and only shoot once you can maximize the impact (cost/shot). It will come.

Turn 3 is when I lose my carrier, battleship, and submarine. Can someone tell me whose dick do I have to suck to finish it or does this game hate white people.

I'm having the same fucking problem on mission 24. I can keep getting it to where I only need 1 hit to finish them off and they magically find my remaining ships and sink them with their 4x4 resources on their next turn.

"cant remember losing a single battle since I started to do it"
If that includes mission 24 then I don't believe you.

I have the same problem as most others here on mission 24. AI destroys 2-3 ships in the first 2-3 rounds. I have tried every strat multiple times with the same (sad) result. I don't think this game will be a completion for me :(

I got lucky and beat mission 24 on my 2nd try. Just keep your ships to the left and right sides, and i put my patrol boat in the bottom middle. Try to save as much resources as you can, and use the line attacks. Dont guess with your missiles. Only use them if you are 100% sure of a hit. Keep in mind what ships the cpu has remaining and plan your shots strategically so you cover the most amount of grid.

Start off by playing through the tutorial missions if you didn't already, then move on to the campaign ones. There are a total of 8 tutorial missions in which you are taught the basics of the game. There is also 30 campaign missions that are basically just you vs the computer in different battle situation with the occasional added difficulty thrown in (less points each round, start off with less ships, etc).

Most of the early ones are pretty easy as even when you are handicapped in some way, the computer is not that bright and you still can beat them easily, but the later ones will test you as it seems the computer just knows where you are located and just destroys you at times. If for some reason you don't beat a mission, you can just re-select it and try again. Just keep trying while using your white attacks to find their ships and multi-attack red attacks to eliminate as many ships as fast as possible to cut down on their fire power. Honestly some of the missions come down to luck of finding their ships before they find yours and it can be frustrating, but just keep trying and eventually you'll get through them. Once you play through them all, the trophy will pop.

There are 8 tutorial missions and 30 campaign missions to complete in order to unlock this achievement. My best advice is to place your ships along the border of the map, spaced apart. Try and save your resources to purchase the Search Plane and Torpedo abilities. These reveal entire lanes of the battlefield and are much more efficient than shooting randomly.
