Line of Sight (LoS) is a stat that will indirectly affect several mechanics, being:
- Effective Line of Sight for map routing,
- Detection success rate,
- Contact trigger rate, for airstrike damage,
- Reconnaissance Defense Bonus for LBAS Defense Fighter-Power,
- Artillery Spotting trigger rate.
For details on the LoS stat growth please see Stats.
Effective Line of Sight
"Effective Line of Sight" (ELoS, also called "Fleet LoS") is the Line of Sight (LoS) that affect certain maps' routing. Certain branching requirements in sorties are affected by the LoS of the entire fleet, this total LoS following unintuitive behaviors.
- As a general rule: equipment LoS is more impactful than ship LoS when determining ELoS.
Formula 33
The Formula 33, sometimes referred to as F33, is the most accurate "Fleet LoS" calculation formula known. It is described as follows[1]:
LoS Formula 33 | |
---|---|

|
Equipment LoS Weighting Modifier
The node factor [math]\displaystyle{ C_{n} }[/math] affects the weighting of equipment LoS.
- It depends on the map (see the below).
The equipment and improvement multiplier [math]\displaystyle{ C_{e} }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ C_{\star} }[/math] will affect the "real" LoS given per equipment.
- It depends on the equipment type (see the below).
Because of those factors:
- Some equipment are more efficient to provide LoS,
- Ship LoS is less relevant, notably in maps with higher node factors.
Equipment Types
Equipment type | [math]\displaystyle{ C_{e} }[/math] | [math]\displaystyle{ C_{\star} }[/math] | |
---|---|---|---|
Recon | Seaplane Recons | 1.2 | 1.2 |
Bomber | Seaplane Bombers | 1.1 | 1.1 |
Carrier Recons | 1 | 1.2 | |
Torpedo Bombers | 0.8 | 0 | |
Large Flying Boats | 0.6 | 1.2 | |
Small | Small Radars | 1.25 | |
Large | Large Radars | 1.4 | |
Liaison Aircraft | 1 | ||
0 |
Other equipment types are speculated to be:[2]
- [math]\displaystyle{ C_{e}=0.6 }[/math]
- [math]\displaystyle{ C_{\star}=0 }[/math]
Estimated LoS
Data sourced from TsunDB. Values are the lowest and highest reported LoS for routing. Please note that there may be some margin of error due to random routing.

In events, LoS cheks are also performed following the same rules, but will additionally vary with difficulties, higher difficulties recruiting higher LoS.
FAQ
Q: Why do I keep getting offrouted?
A: Double check that your fleet LoS according to relevant formula meets the LoS threshold for the map. Viewers such as KanColle Command Center Kai, Poi Viewer, KCANotify, KanColle Viewer and Electronic Observer can calculate your fleet's LoS easily for you.
Q: How do I increase my LoS?
A: Reconnaissance seaplanes are the fastest way to raise LoS. The other easy way is to stack radars. Upgrades to reconnaissance seaplanes are also a good way to increase LoS when slots are limited. It is not recommended to stack carrier-based recons or seaplane bombers because too many can compromise the combat ability of your fleet. Another way is to level your ships. Because LoS increases as you level, marrying your ships means their LoS stat can go even higher.
Q: I had enough LoS, how did I get off routed?
A: Planes that are wiped out no longer contribute to LoS. If you were depending on bombers to hit the LoS threshold, you can fall under the threshold when encountering heavy enemy anti-air.

Detection
- For more information on this topic, see Detection.
At the start of any Day Battle, "detection" will be attempted by the fleet. Detection is required to take part in the Aerial Combat phase.
Only the Ship's LoS and the LoS from the participating planes is taken into account for the trigger rate:
- Sp Carrier Recons,
- Recon/ Seaplane Recons,
- Bomber/ Seaplane Bombers,
- Large Flying Boats
.
Contact
- For more information on this topic, see Contact.
At the start of any Airstrike phase, "contact" may be triggered, increasing the airstrike power if triggered.
Only the LoS from the participating planes is taken into account for the trigger rate (step 1):
- Sp Carrier Recons,
- Recon/ Seaplane Recons,
- Large Flying Boats
,
Only the LoS from the participating planes is taken into account for the plane selection (step 2):
- Sp Carrier Recons,
- Recon/ Seaplane Recons,
- Large Flying Boats
, - / Torpedo Bombers.
LBAS LoS
- For more information on this topic, see LBAS Defense Fighter-Power.
Unlike ship mechanics, LBAS do not need/utilize the LoS stat and so this stat is mostly useless.
The only use for LoS is for "Defense Fighter-Power" in air defense mode, where it determines the "Reconnaissance Defense Bonus" ([math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{recon} }[/math]) for Recon Seaplane Recons, Large Flying Boats, Carrier Recons, and LB Land-based Recons:
Reconnaissance Defense Bonus | |||
---|---|---|---|
LoS | ReconSeaplane Large Flying Boat |
Carrier-based | LBLand-Based |
≥9 | 1.16 | 1.3 | 1.24 |
8 | 1.13 | - | 1.18 |
≤7 | 1.1 | 1.2 | - |
The LoS on all other aircraft or in other LBAS modes is not counted.
Artillery Spotting
- For more information on this topic, see Artillery Spotting.
Artillery Spotting attacks require the use of recons/bombers.
Only the Ship's LoS and the LoS from the participating planes is taken into account for the trigger rate:
- Recon/ Seaplane Recons,
- Bomber/ Seaplane Bombers,
- / Torpedo Bombers,
- Dive Bombers.
