This article aims to cover the most commonly used equipment setups for each ship type. It is to give you an idea of what are the most efficient load-outs to make your girls effective in a particular role. This means that this article will not cover niche setups that are specific to a map. For those equipment setups, please refer to the map pages.

|This is the most basic combat setup for all destroyers. Green dual-purpose guns like the [[10cm Twin High-angle Mount]] contribute Fleet Anti-Air (FAA) while allowing your destroyers to perform night battle double attacks. Ideally, you would be using the [[10cm Twin High-angle Mount + Anti-Aircraft Fire Director]]. Destroyer guns do not provide enough extra firepower to allow them to contribute to day combat. The extra FAA from dual-purpose guns will help more by mitigating airstrike damage. The wildcard can be anything that doesn't interfere with double attacks. In most cases, this will be an Anti-Air {{Radar}}. This will allow any destroyer to activate AACI API5.

| This is the ASW setup that maximizes the ASW bonus you get.

Take note that '''reaching the OASW threshold takes precedence over everything'''. So you should just replace depth charges with equipment that has better ASW if you cannot hit the threshold with this setup.

| This is an anti-[[PT Imp Group]] setup. The combination of equipment makes hits nearly guaranteed and their low HP means they can be killed in one hit. It does mean that the destroyer's combat effectiveness is severely reduced against other targets though. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you use Reinforcement Expansions to fit the {{GreenGunMG}} so that another main gun can be used to maintain double attacks.

| This is the standard CA setup for TCI. Since any CA that can TCI or should be luck-modded to be capable of TCI can already hit the cap with two torpedoes, it is better to have a main gun over a 3rd torpedo. This will allow them to be somewhat effective during the day and gain the bonus accuracy from equipping an IJN 20.3. The wild card can be anything that doesn't interfere with this setup. It will typically be night battle equipment.

It is generally not used that often because BBs will already hit the daytime cap and losing out on APCI reduces their power and effectiveness against other targets. This setup is more viable on 5-slot BBs that can also take an AP shell and get the best of both worlds.

| This is a unique setup for [[Nagato|Nagato Kai Ni]] and [[Mutsu|Mutsu Kai Ni]]. While it does give up APCI like the regular BB anti-installation setup, tanks and landing craft have much better multipliers across a wider range of installation types. This can make for some devastating attacks when combined with their Touch mechanic.

| This is a unique setup for [[Musashi|Musashi Kai Ni]] and requires a [[10cm Twin High-angle Gun Mount Kai + Additional Machine Guns]] in her reinforcement expansion. This setup should also '''only be used in a main fleet''' of a combined fleet as it can trigger main/secondary cut-in at night. This setup allows Musashi to perform AACI. It also her a higher trigger rate of artillery spotting because the equipment setup fulfills the trigger requirements for a wider array of special attacks.

| This is the basic setup for CV/Ls. It balances striking power with fighter power. You can just adjust the amount of {{BluePlane}} and {{GreenPlane}} depending on how much enemy airpower you expect to encounter. One {{GreenPlane}} can be swapped out with a [[Saiun]] if preventing Red-T engagement is necessary.
