Uniquely on "Atoll Nodes", it is possible to deploy the Amphibious Vehicle Ka-Tsu tanksSpecial Type 4 Amphibious Tank
Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai
to trigger a special Opening Torpedo Salvo.

  • On those nodes, regular oTorp will not work,
  • This can only be deployed by SS, SSV, and the AV Mikuma Kai Ni Toku, Nisshin A, and Mizuho Kai fast,
    • They must carry at least one Ka-Tsu tank,
  • On the "atoll node", ships meeting those requirements will carry out a special opening torpedo attack,
  • In night battle, those ships will additionally trigger the same attack as a cutin,
    • This attack overrides regular Night Cut-ins attacks (e.g. if a ship is setuped for a TCI, it will still trigger the Ka-Tsu attack).
  • Using several Ka-Tsu tanks on a same ship will make it carry out several of those attacks in a row (day and night),
    • It capped at 2 attacks per ship at night.
    • This attack utilizes a new special animation, with the tank climbing the atoll's soil.

Can be equipped in the RE of I-36, I-41, I-47 Kai, and I-58 Kai.
