PT boats or "Patrol Torpedo boats", are a type of ship, counted as "Destroyers" (DD) in the game, with additional unique Accuracy and Evasion mechanics.

So far, they are exclusive to Abyssals, also being "Imps".

Mechanics

Anti-PT boat

Unlike most standard Abyssals, "PT boats" ( & ) are "very small and fast".

All ship types suffer a severe accuracy and firepower penalty against PT boats.
Attacking them with larger guns is not very effective, smaller guns being recommended instead.
Support Expeditions are not affect by any of the following^[1].

Attack formula against PT boats
The Attack formula against PT boats:^[2]^[3] Jet Assault & Airstrike [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Damage}_\text{PT}= \text{Atk}_\text{post-cap} \times \text{Rand} [0.5 ; 0.8] }[/math] LBAS^[4] [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Damage}_\text{PT}= \text{Atk}_\text{post-cap} \times \text{Rand} [0.4 ; 0.7] }[/math] Shelling [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Damage}_\text{PT}= ( 0.3 \times \text{Atk}_\text{post-cap} + \sqrt{\text{Atk}_\text{post-cap}} + 10 ) \times \prod^{All Equipment}{\text{Mod}_\text{EquipmentAtk}} }[/math] Opening & Closing Torpedo Salvos [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Damage}_\text{PT}= 0.3 \times \text{Atk}_\text{post-cap} + \sqrt{\text{Atk}_\text{post-cap}} + 10 }[/math] Night Battle Night Battle data are unclear yet. With [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Atk}_\text{post-cap} }[/math] the post cap attack power defined here, [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{EquipmentAtk} }[/math] the bonuses given by equipment, described below.

Accuracy formula against PT boats

The Accuracy formula against PT boats:^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Hit Rate}_\text{vs.PT} \text{%} = \Big\lfloor ( 0.3 \times \text{Accuracy}_\text{Atk} + \sqrt{\text{Accuracy}_\text{Atk}} + 15 ) \times 1.2 \times \text{Mod}_\text{Ship} \times \Big( \prod^{All Equipment}{\text{Mod}_\text{EquipmentAcc}} \Big) \times \text{Mod}_\text{Night} \Big\rfloor - \text{EVA}_\text{PT} + 1 }[/math]

With

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Acc}_\text{Atk} }[/math] the standard accuracy described here
- PT boats are "DDs" in the game, so the [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{formation} }[/math] for vanguard is 1.1 during shelling, and 1.2 during the torpedo phase.
- Historical accuracy bonuses during Events are included in the Standard Accuracy Term, i.e. it is affected by the [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{PT} }[/math] modifier.
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{EVA}_\text{PT} }[/math] the PT estimated evasion described bellow,

PT boats stats
Type	Luck	Eva	[math]\displaystyle{ \text{EVA}_\text{PT} }[/math]
Type	Luck	Eva	Line Ahead	Echelon	Line Abreast
PT Imp Pack	?	?	81?	87?	?
PT Imp Pack II	60	220	80	87	85
PT Imp Pack III	60	250	82	89	88

Schnellboot Imp Pack	?	?	?	?	?
Schnellboot Imp Pack II	?	?	?	?	?
Schnellboot Imp Pack Elite	?	?	?	?	?

The main Accuracy modifiers are

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{Amagiri} }[/math] being include in [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Acc}_\text{Atk} }[/math]:
- 65 for Amagiri Kai Ni/D
- 35? for DD and DE adjacent to Amagiri Kai Ni/D.
- 0 otherwise.
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{Ship} }[/math] the bonus given by ship types, described below,
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{EquipmentAcc} }[/math] the bonuses given by equipment, described below,
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{Night} }[/math] being 0.7 during night battle, 1 during day battle.

Amagiri Kai Ni/D
has the ability to prioritize focusing on attacking PT imps with significantly increased accuracy if any are present.

DD placed in the composition slots above and below her will gain a noticeable accuracy boost and will prioritize attacking PT boats if any are present.
The PT boat targeting rate is 100% for all affected ships ^[9].

During Events, some special bonuses may be added, with "historical" ships and equipment gaining some accuracy bonuses^[10].

Ship Type	[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{Ship} }[/math]

CL, CLT, & CT	0.82
All other types	0.7

Notes

It is recommended to use anti-PT setups on DDs only, such setups compromising overall combat effectiveness.
Having a Reinforcement Expansion is important because it can save a ship slot by containing a machine gun or skilled lookouts.
Combining equipment is recommended to see significant boosts to accuracy.
The Ka-Tsu Tanks
bonus does not stack with the Armed Boats
ones.
Using other setups improving accuracy is also advisable:
- Hidden accuracy bonus setups,
- Sparkled ships.
