=Carrier Night Attacks=
 +
 +
Normally carriers cannot attack at night unless certain conditions are fulfilled. There are three different kinds of carrier night attacks: Standard Shelling, Swordfish Night Attacks, and Carrier Night Air Attacks.
 +
 +
This is not to be confused with [[Combat/Artillery Spotting#Aircraft Carrier Cut-in|Carrier Cut-In Attacks]] which are for daytime shelling.
 +
 +
===Trigger Requirements===
 +
'''1. Standard Shelling'''
 +
* {{ShipLink|Graf Zeppelin}} (all remodels), {{ShipLink|Taiyou Kai Ni}}, {{ShipLink|Shinyou Kai Ni}}, {{ShipLink|Saratoga}} (base only), and {{ShipLink|Kaga Kai Ni Go}} are able to attack at night with guns regardless of equipment.
 +
* This attack '''can be triggered''' even when <span style="color:orange;">moderately damaged (中破)</span>.
 +
* The attack power is calculated using the [[Damage_Calculations#Surface_Night_Battle|'''surface night battle''']] damage formula.
 +
** Because of this, these attacks are weak.
 +
* There is no critical multiplier bonus from plane proficiency.
 +
* If the enemy fleet contains a submarine, the light carriers will be forced to target them.
 +
* May be set up to activate [[#Original Cut-ins|Double Attacks and Cut-Ins]].
 +
 +
'''2. Swordfish Night Attack'''
 +
* This is just limited to {{ShipLink|Ark Royal}} (all remodels) when equipped with [[:Category:Swordfish|Swordfish]].
 +
* This attack '''cannot be triggered''' when <span style="color:orange;">moderately damaged (中破)</span>.
 +
* The attack power is calculated using the [[Damage_Calculations#Surface_Night_Battle|'''surface night battle''']] damage formula but '''only taking into account''' Ark Royal's base firepower and the Swordfish's stats.
 +
** All other equipment stat bonuses are ignored.
 +
* There is a critical multiplier bonus from plane proficiency.
 +
* May be set up to activate [[#Original Cut-ins|Double Attacks and Cut-Ins]].
 +
 +
'''3. Carrier Night Air Attack'''
 +
* When equipped with either the {{AviationPersonnel}}[[Night Operation Aviation Personnel]] or [[Night Operation Aviation Personnel + Skilled Deckhands]] along with the right {{PurpleFighter}}{{PurpleBomber}}[[:Category:Night Planes|night planes]], all carriers are able to perform carrier night air attacks.
 +
** {{ShipLink|Saratoga Mk.II}}, {{ShipLink|Akagi Kai Ni E}}, {{ShipLink|Kaga Kai Ni E}}, and {{ShipLink|Ryuuhou Kai Ni E}} are able to do this by default when equipped with the right night planes.
 +
* This attack '''cannot be triggered''' when <span style="color:orange;">moderately damaged (中破)</span>.
 +
** Armoured carriers '''can still trigger''' the attack at moderate damage.
 +
* The attack power is calculated using the [[Damage_Calculations#Carrier_Night_Air_Attack|'''carrier night air attack''']] formula.
 +
** Only the base stats of the carriers and the stats of the night planes are taken into account.
 +
** Slot size plays a role in determining damage.
 +
** Planes in slots that have been reduced to 0 are ignored.
 +
* It can trigger regardless of the result of the [[Aerial Combat#Fighter Combat|fighter combat]] phase in day.
 +
* You need a minimum of one [[:Category:Night Fighters|night fighter]] and the Night Operations Personnel to trigger this attack.
 +
** It can trigger even if you have no bombers.
 +
* There is a critical multiplier bonus from plane proficiency.
 +
* Light carriers will ignore submarines to target surface ships with this attack.
