*Resources: Bauxite and 4 units of Ammunition
 +
: Advantages:
 +
*Damage is spread out, and likely to hit the flagship (good for events)
 +
*Low cost since the only bauxite needed is for planes which were shot down by enemy AA.
 +
: Disadvantages:
 +
*Spread out damage is unlikely to sink any particular ship.
 +
*Planes sent are affected by enemy AA, so will be less effective against high AA enemy fleets.

;2. Long distance Torpedo Attack
: High miss chance and High damage. Damage depends on torpedo stats
+
: High miss chance and low damage. Currently, no practical use (stated in wikiwiki). Damage is lower than even normal torpedo attacks.
 
*Condition: At least 4CL, CLT or DD. And has total Torpedo stats above 250.

: If none of the aforementioned conditions are met, support fleet will use their main guns to shell the enemies. Damage depends on Artillery stats

: If none of the aforementioned conditions are met, support fleet will use their main guns to shell the enemies. Damage depends on Artillery stats. CVs and CVL are counted slightly differently, and use the following formula to calculate their firepower.

::: 55 + (1.5 × artillery) + (1.5 × torpedo) x slots + (2.0 × divebomb) x slots
 +
: e.g. Kaga Kai with 4 slots of Suisei 12A Divebombers:
 +
::: 55 + (1.5 x 49) + (1.5 x 0) x 4 + (2.0 x 10) x 4 = 208, i.e. Kaga will effectively have 208 firepower.
 +
: Hence it is advisable to go 2DD 2CV 2BB for the strongest firepower (any more CVs/CVLs will change it to aerial support). CVLs have great cost-performance ratio here (no. of planes don't count, only slots).
