In the final battle, destroying the 2.5k forts leads to 1-2× morale drop for all enemies. However, the forts seemed to be programmed to spam troops upon approach. It may even stack troops that were not spawned.
Still, besides a 2-pronged attack, I can't find a better way to attack the USA and finish more quickly. My gens are nearly wiped out, but one may argue that having lvl 3 ribbons on the core six is a big reason.

With normal difficulty it was key target to destroy the Fortress. The samurai with Yamashita and explosives was the gamechanger. On hard mode, i think the last mission was even easier. Your allies will take Vancouver and Seattle. I only needed to help take Portland. I finished the Mission turn 23 i think. With even 5 nukes created.
First target to destroy ist the carrier at San Francisco. He Targets your medic. Keep him alive. It should be a medic at lvl 9. Heals 150hp and 100 himself. That is insane to keep your generals alive

My gens are nearly wiped out, but one may argue that having lvl 3 ribbons on the core six is a big reason. I couldn't complete it either. I think that destroying all Fortresses is of high importance. It is the only one serious threat. Regular counterattacks are poorly coordinated and easily repelled. It is actually the only one mission so far when I regretted that I don't have any powerful elite units. I believe that any of elite heavy tanks and T44 (with a range 2) are significantly more efficient and in general cheaper to produce than 3 stacked Japanese heavy tanks. I am also curious to use B4 Howitzer with Konev next time (I am close to unlock it).

I’m going to attempt a f2p Pacific Hard mode in the next few days.
Since my lineup is currently optimized for not being f2p, and since the Japan event is by-far the hardest, I expect I might need to cloud save and sell some generals to get another artillery and upgrade navy (I only have Konev as a f2p arty gen).

I did this f2p rather easily. I think, along with nerfing the Allies in ‘43 conquest, they might have made this easier.
The only hard missions are the last two. I heavily encourage everyone to get Yamaguchi and put the Navy and Honor Medals on him (navy attack + hp regeneration and higher fleet leader activation). If Donitz and Darlan are within him, and he’s on a submarine attacking a cruiser or carrier, he can do around 400 damage. This makes the navy-dominated missions significantly easier.
The rest of the strategy boils down to taking it slow, spawning Guderian/Rommel on elite tanks, and using your combat medics to your advantage. Always put the AF Medal and ribbons on your Akagi, and on navy missions use it to attack subs (or clustered units), but on land missions (especially 7) use it to attack land units, especially artillery. It’s generally a waste to use it for units with air defenses: let other units take care of them.

Is Yamaguchi a must? I'm aiming for General rank for my best gens for the final Frontier series.
I have Doenitz, Nimitz, Horton, and Kuznetsov.

Non-Yamaguchi compared to him is like using tank generals without armored assault. Especially if you have Donitz (or someone else with Wolfpack) and Darlan’s Wolfpack-like perk, them two near Yamaguchi just does an insane amount of damage.

I dont have Yamaguchi...but my Donitz max damage is 742, Yamamoto 672, and Darlan is batting 651, not maxed out. Also have Nimitz and Horton but didn't look them up. wondering if that's par with everyone else.

Mine could never reach such level.

Not that I have unlocked any of those units, but I was pretty sure it had to be Richelieu/combined damage of two ships attacking a city..?

Any tips for f2p players for the last mission? Which way is better to go? Is it worth destroying fortresses?
