This video serves as a brief explanation of the main strategy that has to be used for the successful clearing of this stage. The purpose of it was to show the safest and resultative way of dealing with the boss’s special mechanics so that even the beginners can try to beat it without too much trouble. Therefore, I wasn’t trying to destroy The Horseman as fast as it could possibly be done and wasn’t aiming for the score.
In addition to everything said in the video, it should be noted that evasion mechanics do not work in the EX mode, making Improved Hydraulic Rudder and other auxiliary equipment of the same purpose completely useless. Therefore, your Vanguard must use items that give them more HP or/and those, which increase the fleet’s overall movement speed, which can be considered as one of the most important things in this gamemode. As you’ll see during the equipment reveal, Little Beaver Squadron Tag is an indescribably wonderful way to increase the mobility of the Vanguard line.
Moreover, I would highly recommend you to use one aircraft carrier instead of the third battleship or escepially a battlecruiser, because, when you launch an airstrike, all of the projectiles and shells, that were fired by the enemy, will be nullified. This obviously can be helpful in plenty of situations.
And last but not least, remember that The Horseman is a battleship with a heavy type of armour and choose your ships’ equipment accordingly. For example, fighters with rockets, such as the Messerschmitt BF-109G or the newly added Hellcat with HVARs would only be able to deal half of their base damage to the enemy, while torpedo bombers manage to get to 130%. The same goes to your battleships: armour-piercing rounds would be immeasurably more effective at penetrating the enemy, rather than high-explosive ones.
In conclusion, you don’t have to try and deal the highest amount of damage to the enemy at all times, because in most situation it will just obliterate your frontline.
As always, I hope that this video will be helpful to you!

Really nice video, ty so much.
Thank you so much for this. I really need them cog chips.
Thanks, by your help it took me only 2 times to beat it
slight correction is the description; the boss is medium armored, not heavy, so rocket fighters & skyraiders are the best planes for it. you can quick-check it by using the SAP gun on a preload BB, it's heavy if grey numbers pop-up.
