Master Operation Husky in Battlefield 1942. Learn Axis and Allied strategies, plane tactics, and how to use the Mosquito bomber effectively.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The map takes place in September 1943 during the Allied invasion of Italy.
  2. 2
    It is described as a great map with paratroopers, a powerful plane, wider beaches, fewer height advantages for the Axis, more capture points, and better balance compared to Omaha Beach.
  3. 3
    Players can experience the map by paratrooping onto the beach as the Allies or flying a plane as the Axis.
  4. 4
    The plane is considered overpowered on this map, with one player reporting a 66-3 record.
  5. 5
    Snipers are noted as being almost too useful after more experience with the map.
Tips
  • There are only two AA guns on the map, making the Mosquito bomber very survivable. The AA gun near the flag closest to the ocean is the primary threat to the Mosquito; the one near the end of the beach is often ignored.
  • Axis players should prioritize attacking the flag closest to the ocean if it's the only one held by the Allies, despite the AA gun.
  • Allied players should note that even if a Mosquito is shot down, it will respawn (be brought back to life at a checkpoint after death) quickly and shooting it down will not significantly alter the match outcome.
  • Mines and TNT can effectively defend the large bridge over the river near the farthest flag from the beach, but watch out for infantry crossing the river by swimming.
  • Allies should capture spawn points as quickly as possible to slow ticket drainage.
  • The second farthest flag from the beach can be captured by Allies by proning up a hill to avoid detection, then using cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) from walls to take the spawn point and kill spawning infantry.
  • Axis bombers should target flags and vehicles on the beach, especially if the Allies only hold one flag, to rack up kills.
  • Allies should avoid paratrooping after capturing two flags; instead, spawn at the spawn point and proceed from there.
  • Axis players can guard the farthest back flag, which some Allied players attempt to sneak to, with a tank if a low kill record is not a concern.
  • If your plane is shot down, it will respawn in approximately thirty seconds.
  • Axis players can quickly sink the destroyer with their plane, but bombing infantry and tanks is generally a better strategy.
  • Allied players should move their destroyer close to the beach to maximize its effectiveness, ensuring the front and back cannons can both attack the beach, even if beached.
  • Only one plane can be active on the map at a time; avoid plane camping unless no plane is currently in play.
  • In some servers where friendly fire from grenades and TNT is disabled, Allies can use explosives to reach higher ground.
  • Allies generally find snipers to be ineffective on this map, as by the time a good sniping position is established, the team will likely have captured flags. Axis scouts, however, can make good use of snipers.

Strategy:

  • Axis: Spawn at the farthest back point to attempt to secure the Mosquito, or spawn near the beach to defend against infantry. Using a defgun to eliminate attacking infantry is a smart choice. A good Mosquito pilot is crucial for sustained air support.
  • Axis players should be aware that some Allied players attempt to sneak to the farthest back flag, often from the hills to the right of the map. Guarding this area with a tank or infantry is recommended.
  • Defending this map requires staying low and using cover from walls. Instead of aggressive attacks, prone and utilize cover to hold off infantry attacking beach flags, which can greatly assist your team with good aim.
  • Allies: The most straightforward strategy is to attack the beach while staying low to avoid snipers in the surrounding hills. Either eliminate these threats or stay mobile.
  • A unique Allied strategy involves reaching a high hill near the flag closest to the water. This can be done by using a grenade to blow yourself up (if friendly fire is disabled) or by finding a less obvious path alongside the hill beyond the second flag from the water, requiring some searching to climb.
  • Once on the hill, swim across the river instead of using the bridge to avoid detection, and capture the flag farthest from the beach. This significantly helps the team and provides access to a plane if the enemy one is downed.
