"Equipment" are gears meant to be fitted on girls to enhance their combat capacity, adding several sets of Stats and unlocking certain Mechanics.

Equipment come in multiple types and categories, using different icons (sometimes overlapping between categories), each with its own behaviors and equipability.

The main ways to acquire equipment are:

Equipment Categories, Types, Icons, and Mechanics

Every piece of equipment in the game has an icon, regrouping them by type, giving a quick visual indicator of what a given equipment is.

  • One icon can be shared with different equipment types.
  • Some icons are used for a single equipment.
  • Some equipment icons on the wiki will be displayed with "text" Xx c.pngText, indicating special notes like stats or sub-types of equipment.
    • Categories labeled as Xx c.pngSp are for "special subtypes", types of equipment with the same mechanics as their normal main type, but corresponding to "larger variants", equipable on respectively larger or more capable ships.

Equipment Types Mechanics
For a better understanding of plane-related mechanics, see Aerial Combat
Carriers-Bassed Those planes are mainly equipable on Carriers (CV/CVB/CVL).
FighterNight Fighter Fighters Fighter Fighters FightersFighterNight Fighter/Night Fighter are one of the main types of plane used by CV(B/L). Their main role is to bring Air Power during the 1st Aerial Stage, with their "Fighter Power" Anti-Air stat being the most important factor in this regard. Fighters are additionally needed for Aircraft Carrier Cut-Ins (CVCI) during the day Shelling.
Night Fighter Night Fighters
Dive Bomber Dive Bombers Dive Bomber Dive Bombers Dive Bomber Dive Bombers are one of the main types of plane used by CV(B/L). Their main role is to do damage during the Airstrike, with their "Dive Bombing" Dive Bomber Attack stat being the most important factor in this regard. Dive Bombers are additionally needed for dealing damage during day Shelling, especially for Aircraft Carrier Cut-Ins (CVCI).
Dive Bomber Fighter-Bombers "Fighter-Bombers" are "Dive Bombers", both behaving the exact same way, with the only notable difference being the Improvement effects given by Improved.
Torpedo Bomber Night Torpedo Bomber Torpedo Bombers Torpedo Bomber Torpedo Bombers Torpedo BombersTorpedo BomberNight Torpedo Bomber/Night Bomber are one of the main types of plane used by CV(B/L). Their main role is to do damage during the Airstrike, with their "Torpedo" Torpedo Attack stat being the most important factor in this regard. Torpedo Bombers are additionally needed for dealing damage during day Shelling, especially for Aircraft Carrier Cut-Ins (CVCI).
Night Torpedo Bomber Night Torpedo Bombers
JetFighterBomber2.pngJetFighterBomber1.png Jet-powered Fighter-Bombers Jets are a special type of carrier-based bombers that follow the same damage calculation as regular Dive Bombers using the "dive bombing" Dive Bomber Attack stat, while providing great additional "air power" Anti-Air, as well as "Long Range" Range.
  • They will notably carry out an additional exclusive attack called "Jet Assault" (JA) before the beginning of any battle.
  • They cannot trigger the CVCI.
  • They bring some accuracy bonus against PT boats.
  • See Jets for more details.

Land-Based For a better understanding of land-base mechanics, see Land-Based Air Squadron.
Bombers Attackers Land-based Attack Aircraft Attackers Land-Based AttackersLand-based Attack AircraftLand-based Fighter (Army)bomberLand-based Assault AircraftLand-based Patrol Aircraft are the main type of bomber used on LBAS. Their most important stats are "torpedo" Torpedo Attack against regular ship, and "dive bombing" Dive Bomber Attack against Installations, as well as their "combat radius" Operation Radius.
Land-based Fighter (Army)bomber Army AttackersBomb-carrying Type 1 Fighter Hayabusa Model III Kai (65th Squadron)
Land-based Assault Aircraft Assault Aircraft (Army Attackers)
Land-based Patrol Aircraft Patrol Aircraft Land-based Patrol Aircraft Land-Based Patrol Aircraft are counted as regular Land-Based Attackers on every aspect.

Additionally, Patrol Aircraft are ASW Aircraft, and so are mainly used for ASW (see here).

Large Aircraft Land-based Heavy Bomber Heavy Bombers Land-based Heavy Bomber Land-Based Heavy Bombers mostly work like other Land-Based Attackers, but unlike them, they have only 9 planes in LBAS slots, instead of 18, as well as slightly worse damage modifiers, dividing their base attack power by about half.
Interceptors/Fighters Land-based Fighter (Army) Army Fighters Land-Based Fighters/InterceptorsLand-based Fighter (Navy)Land-based Fighter (Army)Land-based Fighter JetLand-based Canard Fighter are LBAS exclusive fighters, that are used to either:
  • Provide Sortie Fighter-Power, where the "fighter Power" Anti-Air, "interception" Interception, and "combat radius" Operation Radius stats are the most important,
  • Intercept enemy bombers, where the "fighter Power" Anti-Air, "interception" Interception, and especially the "anti-bomber" Anti-Bomber stats are the most important.
Land-based Fighter (Navy) Navy Fighters Navy Fighters
Rocket Interceptors

  • High Altitude Interceptors multiply the total air power of all land bases in Air Defense mode, when defending against enemy High-Altitude Bombers. The multiplier depends on the number of high altitude interceptors equipped and which difficulty the event map is played on:

Night Reconnaissance Seaplane Night Reconnaissance Seaplanes In addition to all Seaplane Recon mechanics:

Night Reconnaissance Seaplane Night Recons are normal Seaplane Recon with the extra ability to trigger "Night Contact".

  • The scouting phase animation will not show up like day battles; instead, the night recon plane's animation is played in the enemy fleet's radar.
  • [Bug] In a Combined Fleet situation, if a ship in the fleet equipped with a night scout is evacuated from the combined fleet using the Fleet Command Facility, the night recon can still trigger and activate as the fleet proceeds onward and enters a night battle.
Seaplane BomberBomber Seaplane Bombers Seaplane Seaplanes are the main aircraft type used by non-carrier ships (mainly battleships, cruisers, and auxiliaries).

Seaplane BomberBomber Seaplane Bombers additionally act like Dive Bombers, taking part in the same air phases and sharing the same damage formulas. Additionally, they:

Seaplane Fighter Seaplane Fighters Seaplane Fighter Seaplane Fighters share all the regular Fighters mechanics, with a different set of ship equippability. Additionally, they:
Large Flying Boat Large Flying Boats Large Flying Boat Large Flying Boats notably:
  • Can trigger Contact and Detection.
  • Allow AV to perform ASW attacks.
  • Increase the minimum Range of Land Bases, from +1 to +3 range depending on the base's unmodified range.
  • Can be used in the Air Reconnaissance nodes mechanic.
  • When equipped in any slot size, the plane count is dropped down to 1, refunding any bauxite.

Although it is a scout which does not actually participate in Aerial Combat mechanics-wise, it is still included in the launching animation if other planes are launched.

Misc Some auxiliary aircraft, mainly used for ASW.
Rotorcraft Rotorcraft Autogyros Rotorcraft Rotorcraft are ASW Aircraft, being used to trigger some OASW and Land-based ASW attacks.

As they do not have any Dive Bombing Dive Bomber Attack stat, they do not participate to Phases 2 & 3 of Aerial Combat and are immune to shootdown. They:

  • Will launch during aerial battle if other planes are launched, but cannot start an aerial battle on their own.
  • Allow BBV, CAV, AV, and LHA to perform ASW attacks.
  • CVL and Kaga Kai Ni Go equipped with them will still require a Dive Bomber Dive Bomber or a Torpedo Bomber Torpedo Bomber to attack submarines, as they are unable to attack anything without a bomber.
  • AS, AR, and some CVB can equip them, but the former cannot attack SS, and the latter has a carrying capacity of 0 so they do not function.
  • AO can equip them, but their attack animation will still be a depth charge animation.

Their LBAS Combat Radius cannot be extended.

Dive Bomber Dive-Bombers that can attack installations
This is a segment from a bigger article. See Combat/Anti-Installation for details on Installation mechanics.

Carriers will only attack installations in the shelling phase if equipped with Torpedo Bombers or Anti-Installation Dive Bombers.

  • Additionally, carriers will attack installations if equipped with non-special dive bombers AND one of the special dive bombers below.
  • Any other dive bomber will completely disable shelling against installations even if the carrier has a torpedo bomber equipped.
  • This can be very useful to manipulate the targeting mechanic so the carriers attack important targets.

Landing Craft Landing Craft can serve in several roles:
  • "Transport Craft" (type 1) are best at increasing the resources gained from expeditions,
  • "Landing Tanks" (type 2 & 3) deal more damage to installations, being an essential component of "nuke set-ups" (see Anti-Installation),
  • "Armed Boats" (type 4) act mostly like Landing Tanks, and have some additional bonus, against PT Imp notably.

Each Landing Craft equipped will increase "TP Gauge" drain by 8 during Transport Operations.

Each Landing Craft equipped (except for "Landing Tanks type 3") will increase resource gain on Resource Nodes and Expeditions.

are consumable items:

  • As "consumables", they do not take any equipment slot and appear in the Inventory and are equippable in RE.

Ships entering a battle whilst Heavily Damaged (大破) have a chance to be Sunk (撃沈) .

  • In the case of the flagship, being Heavily Damaged (大破) will force a retreat after that node.

Equipping at least one Emergency Repair Personnel Emergency Repair Personnel can prevent the equipped ship from sinking, by reviving it after being sunk.

  • If this is equipped on a flagship, the player can use this before heading to another node.
    • If both Item Icon Emergency Repair Personnel.png Personnel & Item Icon Emergency Repair Goddess.png Goddess are equipped, then it is possible to choose which one to use (see the picture).
  • Emergency Repair Personnel can only repair the ship they are equipped on.
  • Once repaired, a ship becomes unsinkable for the rest of the battle, including night battle.
  • The item is consumed upon activation.

Ration "Rations" are consumable items:

  • As "consumables", they do not take any equipment slot and appear in the Inventory and are equippable in RE.

When equipped on a ship, they are consumed during a Sortie when either:

  • The boss node is reached, a prompt appearing to ask whether to consume or not the rations,
  • The sortie reaches 3 battles, having a random chance to trigger onward (probably linked to ship's morale dropping below a certain level).

When rations are consumed:

  • The morale of the carrying ship is greatly increased,
  • The morale of both adjacent ships is moderately increased,
  • If several different rations are equipped, all are consumed, the moral boost synergizing.
