|This is the most basic combat setup for all destroyers.

| This is an anti-[[PT boat]] setup. The combination of equipment greatly negates the accuracy penalty and increases the damage potential, almost guaranteeing one hit kills. It does mean that the destroyer's combat effectiveness is reduced against other targets. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use Reinforcement Expansions to fit the {{GreenGunMG}} so that another main gun can be used to maintain double attacks.
| This setup is known as a "fighter mule". The CV/L will be unable to attack and her only role is to provide as much fighter support as possible.

| This is the standard CA setup for [[TCI|Torpedo Cut-In]] (TCI).

Are listed here some recommended equipment setups for ASW duties. ''The equipment order is illustrative and does not reasonably matter.
As general rules:
*The first priority is to have OASW, even at the expense of synergy:
**[[DE]] can OASW more easily than [[DD]],
**Because {{ASW}} increase with levels using high-level ships can help,
**Take note that DEs have bonus armor penetration from Depth Charges.
*To further maximize ASW effectiveness, regardless if an OASW is triggered or not, it is recommended to use:
**{{Small Sonar}} {{DCP}} {{DCR}}
*When using carriers, it is recommended to use [[CVE]], as they have a base {{ASW}} stat.

|{{Small Sonar}} {{DCP}} {{DCR}}{{WildCard}}
| This is the basic setup for CV/Ls. It balances striking power with fighter power. The amount of {{BluePlane}} and {{GreenPlane}} can be adjusted depending on how much enemy airpower is expected. One {{GreenPlane}} can be swapped out with a [[Saiun]] if preventing Red-T engagement is necessary.
| This ASW setup maximizes the ASW by taking advantage of the synergy. One of the depth charges needs to be a [[DCP|Depth Charge Projector]] while the other needs to be a [[DCR|Depth Charge (Racks)]]. Take note that '''reaching the [[OASW]] threshold takes precedence over everything'''. In this case, just replace depth charges with equipment that has a higher ASW.

[[CVE]] and [[Kaga Kai Ni Go]] are the main carriers effective against submarines.
Only [[CVE]] & [[Kaga Kai Ni Go]] should be considered for this task, as other CV/CVB cannot attack submarines, and other CVL lack ASW stats.

Below are recommended equipment setups for anti-installation purposes. ''The equipment order is illustrative and does not reasonably matter.''
!Notes
As a general rule:
*Regarding {{AntiGroundArtillery}}:
**If a ship's base firepower is low, it can be viable to use Anti-Ground Rockets to provide a large flat damage increase to supplement the ship's anti-installation damage.
**Depending on whether one or more Anti-Ground Artilleries are to be equipped on a ship, it is recommended to use a WG42 for singular purposes, or Shipborne Model Type 4 20cm Anti-ground Rocket Launchers (or CD) if multiple are needed.
**{{DepthCharge}} {{Equipment/Link|Type 2 12cm Mortar Kai|Type 2 12cm Mortar Kai (Concentrated Deployment)|text=ASW Mortar|link_category=ASW Mortars}} are inferior substitutes to regular Anti-Ground Artilleries when lacking those.
*Regarding {{LandingCraft}} and {{Amphibious Tank}}:
** These provide a high damage multiplier against Installations. Some specialized variants also provide an additional flat damage increase that is multiplicative with certain modifiers.
** As Landing Craft and Special Amphibious Tanks have separate multipliers, it is recommended to use them in tandem to maximize the effect.
{{TextGlow|'''Nuke Setup'''|black|text-colour=#A9F377|glow-size=2px}} describes any setups using anti-installation equipment from multiple categories to multiplicatively amplify damage dealt to Installations.
*Such a setup has a strong anti-installation power against all installations but is hampered by the daytime damage cap.
*Nuke Setups are recommended to be used when dealing with Supply Depot Princess in particular, utilizing the high post-cap side of the bonuses to deal with her generally high HP pool.
*The setup's damage can be further improved by using multiple copies of those types of equipment where applicable.
** For example, equipping multiple {{Amphibious Tank}} {{EquipmentLink|Special Type 2 Amphibious Tank|text=Special Amphibious Tanks}} or Landing Craft with unique bonuses instead of anti-ground rockets provides better damage output for the ship, however, it is advised to only do so if you have enough available for the other ships in your fleet that require them.
All "surface" anti-installation setups can be further enhanced by using them in '''[[Special Attacks]]''', especially [[Nelson]]'s Touch.

|The basic battleship setup. Because Battleships are not far away from the damage cap compared to other ship types, they do not benefit much from the high pre-cap multipliers that anti-installation equipment provides. The standard artillery spotting setup will allow them to utilize spotting attacks and AP Shell's post-cap bonuses against the installation, as well as be effective against all other targets in the enemy fleet.
|-
|{{RedGunHeavy}}{{RedGunHeavy}}{{Seaplane}}{{GreenAmmo}}
|This is an option when facing soft-skinned installations. Taking an AA shell will slightly improve their damage versus installations, but will also limit the battleship's effectiveness against all other targets by reducing their artillery spotting attack types.

| Basic anti-installation nuke setup for all AV. 4 slot AV can add another {{AntiGroundArtillery}} to increase firepower further.
| The combination of equipment greatly negates the accuracy penalty and increases the damage potential, almost guaranteeing one hit kills. It does mean that the destroyer's combat effectiveness is reduced against other targets. Therefore, it is highly recommended to use Reinforcement Expansions to fit the {{GreenGunMG}} so that another main gun can be used to maintain double attacks.
When applicable, the use of {{IconText|{{Landing Craft}}|Armed}} armed boats can further improve the effectiveness of the setup.
