- Night Scout ''(+ 3 LoS)'' provides less bonus on DA chance (-2%) ?

- '''Type 0 Observation Plane''' & '''Prototype Seiran''' ''(+ 6 LoS)'' give the highest bonus ?

- Different seaplanes have no effect on CI chance ??

- Night Scout ''(+ 3 LoS)'' provides slightly less bonus on DA chance ?

# '''Level up your ships & [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Marriage marry them].''' Ship levels affect their individual LoS stat, and a high FLoS would guarantee your ships to DA/CI frequently in battles. Also, if we assume a linear LoS growth, lv150 ships would have 50% more LoS than lv99 ships. It means if your central fleet is at lv99, they'd probably have FLoS ~400 (+10% DA/CI chance). When they're leveled up to lv150, you'll have FLoS ~600 (+30% DA/CI chance).

When they're leveled up to lv150, you'll have FLoS ~600 (+24% DA/CI chance).

# Since fatigue doesn't seem to penalize the trigger rates while DA / CI boosts shelling accuracy, you could use it to counter fatigue. For example, '''[http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Tutorial:_Leveling leveling] your ships at 3-2a with red faces.''' This method could drastically speed up your leveling, but less resource friendly (more buckets & repair cost).
