There are four base resource in the game: fuel, ammo, steel and bauxite.
Fuel and ammo are generally used for resupplying your ships, while fuel and steel are used to repair your ships. Bauxite is used for planes: it is consumed to craft and resupply planes for your carriers.
In crafting, different amounts of resources will be used for different equipment; planes will require lots of bauxite, some guns require lots of ammo. Refer to the [[Development]] page for more information and specific recipes.

The natural regeneration of resources (totaling 1440 over 24 hours) will stop if you cross your resource limit. Other than that, resources gained from sortie, quests, or expeditions suffer no penalty, and can be stockpiled up to the absolute limit of 300,000. To look for your resource regeneration cap, go to your admiral's page and look at the right panel, last row: it is in blue. The formula for calculating it is:
There are two caps for your resources:
* The natural regeneration of resources (fuel, ammunition, steel and bauxite) limit called "Soft cap". Above the soft cap the natural genration of resources stop. To look for your soft cap, go to your admiral's page and look at the right panel, last row: it is in blue. The formula for calculating it is:
<math>\text{Resource Regeneration Limit} = 250 \times ((\text{HQ Level}) + 3)</math>
<math>\text{Resource Regeneration Limit} = 250 \times ((\text{HQ Level}) + 3)</math>
* The absolute cap for resources, called "Hard cap" is 350,000 while the cap for items such as Instant Repairs, Instant Constructions, and Development Materials is 3,000. Once you reach this limit, you will not gain any more resources even if you do expeditions or hit supply nodes in sorties. Note that this is different from the resource regeneration cap.

===Why am I going through resources so fast?===
===Why am I going through resources so fast?===
It goes without saying that you don't have an unlimited number of resources. Running CV and BB-heavy fleets is going to eat through your resources faster than you can generate them through time or expeditions. Make sure that you use those poor DD's and CL's too. Yes, they may seem utterly weak when compared to your hard-hitters, but when you hit [[World 3#3-2|3-2]] and find out that you must clear the map with only destroyers, you won't regret leveling them up and getting their respective remodels. Plus, this decreases your resource expenditures!

If it's specificaly the steel that are being consume fast then remember that heavy ship consume a lot of steel to repair. Or maybe you are using [[jets]] which consume steel each time they sortie.
If it's specificaly the bauxite that are being consume fast then your plane are being shut down. To limit this put bomber on the highest plane slot and use plane with [[anti-airresist]].

===Why do I keep getting sent to the wrong node?===
Different nodes on different maps will have different requirements. Some of the nodes are random in nature, while the rest are dependent on your fleet composition (for example, the boss node in [[World 3#3-23|3-2]] can only be reached by a fleet of destroyers). Here is a list of some of the compositional restrictions. See the [[Sortie]] page for a complete list of maps and detailed info on each one.

while the rest are dependent on one of three criteria

# Speed of the fleet
# LoS of the fleet (it's called a LoS check)
Follow the fleet recommendation on the map page and everything will be fine.
If needed then go see the branching rule or use Kcnav.

===An 'arc' appears in front of my flagship when it was attacked and another ship took damage instead, what happened?===
This is called 'flagship protection.' Ships that have taken less than light damage (小破) will occasionally protect the flagship from getting damaged. Its cause is unknown but some formations make it more likely to occur than the others. It will occur more often in the Ring-shaped / Diamond shaped formation than in the Line Ahead formation.

There are not really "counter" in the game.
However even if the base capability of the ship can greatly help, what's matter the most is the equipment setup.
For each situation you need to have the appropriate equipment setup:
* Against subarine use a ASW setup
* Against Air raid and CV use an AACi setup
* Against installation use nuke setup

It depends on at what stage the server acknowledges the disconnection. Typically, the game will calculate the battle's results and your fleet will automatically return to base. Whether XP is rewarded / fuel and ammo are consumed depends on when the disconnection happens.

===I notice some players are farming those poor Isuzus. Why?===
===I notice some players are farming X ship, why?===
There can be two reasons to farm a ship:
* Use them in modernization
** especially if they can do HP, ASW or Luck modernization
* Obtain the stock equipment
*[[Chitose]] and [[Chiyoda]] are farmed for midget subs ({{Template:TorpedoWeapon}} [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] come with their Lv.12 remodel)

===Does the slot position of equipment matter?===
No the position of the equipment doesn't change anything.
However, this is not the case for warships that can equip aircraft (fighters, recon planes, seaplanes, etc.), because each slot has a different aircraft-carrying capacity (see [[#What_does_the_number_beside_my_plane_stand_for.3F|below]]). Keep this in mind when equipping planes.
