| This is the most basic combat setup for BBs. The AP shell enables the most powerful artillery spotting attack and provides bonus damage. This setup should be run the majority of the time. For 5-slot BBs, a {{Fighter}} or {{SPF}} would generally be used for extra air power.

| This is a setup for the {{Class|Yamato|Kai Ni}} and requires a reinforcement expansion. This setup should also '''only be used in a main fleet''' of a combined fleet as it can trigger main/secondary cut-in at night. This setup allows to perform AACI. It also has a higher trigger rate of artillery spotting because the equipment setup fulfills the trigger requirements for a wider array of special attacks.

| This is an alternative setup for CAs in the main fleet of a combined fleet. '''Do not''' use this setup if CAs are expected to engage in night battle.

If applicable, on {{Med Gun}} can be replaced by the {{IconText|{{Aviation Personnel}}|SCAMP}} {{Equipment/Link|Skilled Carrier-based Aircraft Maintenance Personnel|text=SCAMP}} to gain the firepower without losing the DA.

| This is the standard CA setup for [[TCI|Torpedo Cut-In]] (TCI). Since any CA that can TCI or should be luck-modded to be capable of TCI can already hit the cap with two torpedoes, it is better to have a main gun over a 3rd torpedo. This will allow them to be somewhat effective during the day and gain the bonus accuracy from equipping an IJN 20.3. The wild card can be anything that doesn't interfere with this setup. It will typically be night battle equipment.

| This is a unique setup for [[Maya Kai Ni]]. This is the typical setup that allows her to perform artillery spotting, night battle double attacks, and AACI. There are several variants to this setup depending on what role she needs to be specialized in. Trading a {{Med Gun}} for a {{Green Gun}} will let her focus more on anti-air at the expense of artillery spotting. If having two [[5inch Twin Dual-purpose Gun Mount (Concentrated Deployment)]] or the GFCS variant, it is possible to maintain artillery spotting and AACI.

|This is the most basic combat setup for all destroyers. Green dual-purpose guns like the [[10cm Twin High-angle Mount]] contribute Fleet Anti-Air (FAA) while allowing destroyers to perform night battle double attacks. Ideally, using the [[10cm Twin High-angle Mount + Anti-Aircraft Fire Director]] is preferable. Destroyer guns do not provide enough extra firepower to allow them to contribute to day combat. The extra FAA from dual-purpose guns will help more by mitigating airstrike damage. The wildcard can be anything that doesn't interfere with double attacks. In most cases, this will be an {{Air Radar}}, allowing any ship to activate AACI 5, with AACI 9 & 13 being also possible if the ship has an RE.

In the case of powerful destroyers, the wild card can be night battle equipment or a main gun. The latter will help them maintain some effectiveness during day combat. For low-luck destroyers, the wild card should be a {{SurfaceShipPersonnel}}. This will help increase their trigger rate somewhat.
