* '''Destroyers'''

'''''Destroyers'''''

:* As destroyers do not have the ability to field seaplanes, have low firepower but high torpedo stats, and few equipment slots, their use in fleets is generally to meet composition requirements. Their common setups focus on Anti-Sub Warfare, Night Torpedo, or Fleet Anti-Air Support

:* A Mixture of [[List of Anti-Submarine Equipment by stats|SONAR and Depth Charges]] ({{Template:Sonar}}{{Template:DepthCharge}}) make your destroyers effective, accurate sub killers when enemy fleets contain Submarines.

:* On destroyers with high luck ([[Ayanami]], [[Shigure]], [[Yukikaze]]), 2 or 3 pieces of [[List of Torpedoes by stats|Torpedo Equipment]] ({{TorpedoWeapon}}{{TorpedoWeapon}}{{TorpedoWeapon}}) will often trigger a potent torpedo cut-in attack in night battle.

:* When facing maps with many enemy fleets with carriers, destroyers can provide a considerable amount of fleet AA support using [[List_of_Main_Guns_by_stats#Light_Guns|high-angle mounts]] {{GreenGunDP}} and [[Aerial Combat|anti-air cut-in]] setups.

|[[12.7cm Twin Mount Type-B Kai 2]] can be substituted for [[10cm Twin High-angle Mount]]s, and are especially effective after being improved and equipped onto a high-firepower destroyer like [[Yuudachi]] or [[Ayanami]]. Otherwise, [[10cm Twin High-angle Mount]]s or [[10cm Twin High-angle Mount + Anti-Aircraft Fire Director]]s are preferred for their fleet AA defense modifier, though the latter is difficult to obtain.

|Some ships boast dual utility, like [[Hatsushimo]], who has high luck and AA. These ships can be outfitted for mixed cut-ins instead of torpedo to better utilize their AA capability (Not to say they can't be equipped conventionally with two torpedoes).

|Anti-Sub Warfare

|{{Sonar}}Sonar

|{{DepthCharge}}Depth Charge

|On maps with few subs, or where you don't need to kill the subs, two main guns and a sonar in the third slot are useful.

|[[Akizuki]] and [[Teruzuki]] can perform anti-air cut-ins without a fire director; they only need either two high-angle guns or a high-angle gun and an AA RADAR.

* '''Light Cruisers'''

* '''Light Cruisers'''

:* Light Cruisers gain access to the Medium size Main guns to buff their firepower as well as seaplanes (with a few exceptions with regards to seaplanes, those being CLTs, Isuzu Kai Ni, Yuubari and both of the Tenryuu class), making Artillery Spotting setups feasible and effective against moderately armored enemy vessels.

:* For light cruisers facing enemy fleets, a setup with 2 Main guns and a Seaplane ({{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) offers a potent double attack in both daytime Artillery Spotting and Night Battle.

:* For fleets without air power, one [[List_of_Main_Guns_by_stats#Medium_Guns|medium main gun]] and two [[15.5cm_Triple_Gun_Mount_(Secondary)|15.5cm Triple Gun Mounts]] ({{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:YellowGun}}{{Template:YellowGun}}) will maximize firepower while maintaining double attacks in Night Battle

:* The special class of the Torpedo Cruisers deserves some mention here: their specialty lies in their torpedoes and should almost always be equipped with a {{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}[[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] (to enable opening torpedo strikes). To diversify their damage output, typically two medium main guns and/or [[15.5cm_Triple_Gun_Mount_(Secondary)|15.5cm Triple Gun Mounts]] are equipped to increase shelling damage and enable Night Battle Double Attacks ({{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:YellowGun}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}).

::* Before a Torpedo Cruiser's final remodel, due to limited slots it's advisable to use [[Type A Ko-hyoteki]] and a torpedo ({{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}) to make the most of their preemptive attack.
