|[[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.

| Auxiliary equipments typically are equipped on destroyers; however, luck-based destroyers benefits the most from adding an additional torpedo to their equipment in terms of night battle damage output. Candidates for night battle cut-ins without [[Maruyu|luck modernization]] include: [[Yukikaze]], [[Hatsushimo]], [[Shigure]], [[Ayanami]], and [[Ushio]].

|[[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.

|Using an Air RADAR increases the effect of the Anti-Air Cut-In at the cost of night battle damage (cannot perform double attack with only 1 gun equipped).

|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).

:* 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.

:* 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}}{{YellowGun}}{{TorpedoWeapon}}).

:* Heavy Cruisers see the introduction of 4 slot setups after remodeling and all of them feature the ability to launch seaplanes for artillery spotting. While they are still limited to the Medium main guns, their higher firepower and armor can make them solid combatants when Battleships are unavailable or overkill.

:* Battleships feature a selection of Heavy Main Guns and massive resulting firepower in addition to the potent Armor Piercing shells which can cause brutal critical hits. Setups for battleships are similar to those of heavy cruisers, with one notable addition.
