This page studies the trigger rates & effectiveness of Artillery Spotting (弾着観測射撃), based on preliminary in-game testing. An optimal use of Artillery Spotting could considerably improve your fleet's daytime combat performances.
This page studies the trigger rates & effectiveness of Artillery Spotting (弾着観測射撃), based on preliminary in-game testing. An optimal use of Artillery Spotting could considerably improve your fleet's daytime combat performances.
In brief, Artillery Spotting ''(aka. Day Battle Special Attacks) ''consists of two types of attack: Cut-In '''[CI] '''& Double Attack '''[DA]'''. When activated, the attacking ship receives a damage output ([http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Post-Cap_Modifiers post-cap]) & accuracy bonus. You need to achieve at least Air superiority (AS) during aerial combat, and at least 1 [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Seaplanes_by_stats seaplane] equipped on the ship. The remaining plane count can't be 0. More details could be found on the page [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Day_Battle_Special_Attacks_.28Artillery_Spotting.29 Game Mechanics -> Artillery Spotting] .

# '''Level up your ships & [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Marriage marry them].''' Ship levels affect their individual LoS stat, and a high FLoS would guarantee your ships to DA/CI frequently in battles. Also, if we assume a linear LoS growth, lv150 ships would have 50% more LoS than lv99 ships. It means if your central fleet is at lv99, they'd probably have FLoS ~400 (+8% DA/CI chance). When they're leveled up to lv150, you'll have FLoS ~600 (+24% DA/CI chance).

This method could drastically speed up your leveling, but less resource friendly (more buckets & repair cost).
# Since fatigue doesn't seem to penalize the trigger rates while DA / CI boosts shelling accuracy, you could use it to counter fatigue. For example, '''[[Tutorial:_Leveling|leveling]] your ships at 3-2a with red faces.''' This method could drastically speed up your leveling, but less resource friendly (more buckets & repair cost).
# If ELoS ([http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Line_of_Sight effective LoS]) is prioritized, you wish to have more seaplane bombers, and/or you don't have good radars, '''''equip an extra seaplane on your 4th slot''''' is usually a good choice.

* In [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Homuhomu123/Translation_on_Kuubowokyuu%27s_Exp%27ts_on_the_Trigger_Rates_of_Artillery_Spotting K-Test], if we compare no.7.8.9 versus no.15, we could see as FLoS increased from ~250 to 356, DA chance from Takao Class CAs didn't change at all. According to the FLoS calibration method, this gives an error of 8.5%, which is way above our tolerance. Is that a coincidence or something?
