| + | Most maps have various bonuses, coming in many shapes. Since most of those bonuses follow the historical formations/tactics used in the relevant operations, they are referred to as "Historical Bonuses". Such bonuses are also found on [[7-4]] and [[7-5]]. |

| + | **Ships, including all remodels, |

| + | ***It is only applied to the ship they are equipped on, |
