==Benefits of Participating==
 
  
−
The first and most obvious benefit of exercises is that participation is required for several quests. The exercise list is updated twice daily, so you get ten chances total to complete all your daily quests.
+
The {{TextGlow|'''Exercise (演習)'''|black|text-colour=Lime|glow-size=2px}} menu can be accessed from the '''Sortie (出撃)''' button on the [[Home Port|main menu]]. Unlike the rest of the game, this section of the game is '''"PVP"''', where a random selection of 5 other players' fleet on the server can be fought twice a day.
 +
*The exercise list will reset each day at 03 h and 15 h JST, for a total of 10 PVP battles a day.
  
−
Exercises are also a very safe way of gaining experience for your ships. Ships cannot sink, and are automatically repaired back to their pre-exercise status after a battle has concluded, minus a small amount of ammo and fuel.

* '''Flagship''' - Displays the opponent's current flagship.
 +
* '''Name''' - Displays the opponent's name.
 +
* '''Message''' - Displays the opponent's "[[Military Record]] menu message".
 +
* '''HQ Level''' - Displays the opponent's HQ level.
 +
* '''Medals''' - Displays the number of hard mode medals the opponent has.
 +
* '''Result''' - Displays the result of the exercise. It will be blank until the opponent is fought.
 +
* '''Matchmaking Mode''' - Allows to select which matchmaking mode for the next PVP session.
 +
** See [[#Matchmaking Modes|below]] for details.
 +
* '''Fleet Preview''' - Displays the opponent's current fleet.  
 +
**'''This preview can change at anytime, even just after engaging this opponent.'''
 +
* '''Opponent Information''' - Displays the opponent's current rank, total HQ experience, number of ships, equipment, and furniture.
 +
* '''Challenge''' - Starts the exercise.

Finally, winning exercises generally results in your ships becoming [[Tutorial:_FAQ#sparkle_effect|sparkly]]. This can be useful if you wish to run long expeditions, or run repeated sorties.

=How to Exercise=
 +
[[file:PvP_Oppenent.png|thumb|right|A more detailed look at the opponent]]
 +
#To begin an exercise, just click on the opponent to fight. This will bring up the opponent's information.
 +
#Clicking on '''Challenge (演習を挑む)''' will bring up the fleets (all 4 can be used).
 +
#Clicking on '''Begin Exercise (演習開始！)''' will start the exercise.
 +
#Select a formation to begin combat.
 +
#* This step is the last chance to back out. Once a formation is selected, the battle result will be locked in and this opponent cannot be challenged again.
 +
#* If the exercise is canceled :
 +
#** Girls will not earn experience,
 +
#** PVP victory will not be counted in relevant quests.

+
* The flagship cannot be {{color|red|'''heavily damaged (大破)'''}}.
−
Base exp table. Vertical - 1st ship of enemy fleet. Horizontal - 2nd ship of enemy fleet.
+
** It is possible to deploy if an escort ship is heavily damaged, but it may result in that ship not receiving any EXP. See [[#General Tips|below]] for details.
 +
* Since the daily quest list refreshes at 05 h JST, it is possible to "finish" the day's exercise quest by exercising between 03 h and 05 h. However, this will cause to have fewer battles for the next day (ending up using the next day's list early).
 +
* The opposing fleet is the current 1st fleet of the opponent.
 +
** The composition of that fleet is updated in almost real time. It is only confirmed '''after formation is selected'''.
 +
** It happen to end up fighting a different fleet than what was presented in the opponent information menu.
 +
* [[Plane Proficiency]] cannot be gained or lost in exercises.
 +
* The opponents' fleets will always be at full HP and 0 plane proficiency regardless of their real status.
 +
* It is not possible to have a rematch with an opponent twice in the same session.
 +
** They can still be selected again during another session.
 +
* Exercises cost as much as a normal combat node. That is '''20% fuel and ammo'''.
  
−
]]Generally, if the sum of the levels of the ships in the '''top two slots''' in the enemy fleet is roughly fifty or more, you can expect a base experience of about 500. The other four ships in the enemy fleet seemingly do not factor into the experience formula.
+
* Girls cannot be sunk in exercises on both sides.
 +
** They can be considered as "sunk" for experience gain and victory condition purposes.
 +
** A girl's HP will never go below 1 HP, "sunk" girls being displayed with a single HP regardless of their actual health.
 +
***As such, the displayed damage taken by girls cannot go beyond their total current HP.
 +
*** When using a 3rd party viewer, it is possible to see the "real" health of a girl.
 +
** This can lead to confusion as actual 1HP girls are still not considered "sunk" for the purposes of determining rank.
  
−
At low Admiral Levels, players have very low level ships, so the experience gain from exercises tends to be bad (sometimes far lower than running sorties). Simply put, it may not be worth running many exercises until you reach higher levels. However, there is usually one admiral in your list that is three or four times your level. Even though you will likely be slaughtered by a superior force, the high base experience still means that you come out with a great deal of experience.
+
=Matchmaking Modes=
 +
The three different matchmaking modes are as follows:
 +
* '''Exercise Fleet [Group 1]''' (演習艦隊【第一群】): Opponents will be selected from those that have a higher HQ level. Fleets are generally tougher but will have better experience rewards.
 +
* '''Exercise Fleet [Group 2]''' (演習艦隊【第二群】): Opponents with an equivalent HQ level are selected. Fleets will generally be evenly matched but provide less experience.
 +
* '''Entire Server''' (全体): This is the original PvP matchmaking system and it is the '''default''' mode. Oppontents are selected as follows:
 +
** 1 random player within the '''Top 1000''' of the server.
 +
** 3 players '''immediately above you in rankings'''.
 +
** 1 player '''10 places above you in rankings'''.
 +
** When being within the Top 1000, it will just be '''5 random players within the top 1000'''.
  
−
Similar to sorties, you gain more experience with an S rank than with an A or B rank. If you can spare the resources and are certain of victory, it is almost always worth it to enter night battle to finish off a wounded enemy fleet. However, note that both A and B rank yield the same amount of experience. There is no point pursuing night battle if you have already won, and cannot finish off the enemy completely.
+
'''Important Notes'''
 +
* It is possible to freely swap between matchmaking modes until '''2 hours before PvP reset''' (01 h and 13 h JST).
 +
* It is generally advised to use "Group 1" whenever possible because it will match with high-level players. They will generally have high-leveled ships that give the most exp.
  
−
Do note that exercises reset twice daily, once at 03:00 JST and again at 15:00 JST.  This means you can run a maximum of 10 exercises per day.
+
=Fleet Formations=
 +
The formation of the opponent's fleet is determined by a few factors:
 +
* If ''the opponent'' has '''3 or fewer ships in the fleet''', their formation will be '''line ahead''' regardless of your composition. Otherwise:
 +
# If ''you'' have a '''SS or SSV flagship''' and '''at least 1 other SS/SSV''', their formation will be '''line abreast'''.
 +
# If ''your opponent'' has a '''SS or SSV flagship''', their formation will be '''echelon'''.
 +
# If ''your opponent'' has a '''CV or CVL flagship''' and '''at least 5 ships''', their formation will be '''diamond'''.
 +
#* Note that this means CV flagship of a 4-ship fleet will not be in diamond.
 +
# In all other cases, their formation will be '''line ahead'''.
  
−
==Fleet Composition==
+
In case multiple criteria are met (for example, a fleet of 5 ships led by a CV facing a submarine-only fleet), the precedence is:
−
As always, the flagship receives bonus experience. Thus, it makes sense to place a ship you wish to level in the flagship slot.
+
# '''Line abreast'''
 +
# '''Echelon''' / '''Diamond''' (equal priority)
 +
# '''Line ahead'''
 +
So in the example given above, the enemy will be in line abreast.
  
−
Running carriers in exercises is not recommended. Any competent Admiral will equip their fleet with lots of anti-air, which can utterly decimate your planes. A competently equipped fleet can easily cost you 200-300 bauxite in planes. If you wish to level a carrier in exercises, consider equipping high angle guns on them instead of planes. Running a carrier with planes is possible, but you should exercise great caution in doing so.
+
=Experience Gain=
 +
Please see [[Experience and Rank#Exercises|Experience and Rank]] for more details on the formula used for calculating experience earned in exercises.
  
−
Battleships should form the backbone of your fleet. Their high HP and armor means that they can take a beating, and their firepower makes them effective against all ship types. The number of battleships you use should depend on the number of battleships and carriers in the enemy fleet.
+
===Experience Chart===
 +
The table below represents the '''post-cap experience without the rank multiplier''' depending on the 1st and 2nd ships of the opponent.  
 +
* The first column represents the flagship level and the first row is the 2nd ship level.
 +
* The red numbers represent the 100s thresholds for experience.
 +
* The numbers assumes a random integer of 0, as per the experience formula.
  
−
The air combat phase and the opening torpedo salvo can often determine who wins the fight. To this end, make sure you equip sufficient anti-air to neutralize your opponent's carriers. Fielding Kitakami and Ooi is also generally a good idea, as they can very easily oneshot ships.

If the enemy has many light carriers, light cruisers, or destroyers, consider using a sub. As in sorties, anything that can target the sub, will, so you can effectively divert a significant portion of the enemy's firepower to the sub. Light cruisers and destroyers will continue to target the sub (if it is still alive) in night combat, so use this to your advantage. You could also opt to run a fleet of mostly heavies and battleships, as their high armor will shrug off most attacks.

===[[CT]] experience enhancement===

===Facing Submarines===
+
{{Category:Training Cruisers}}
−
When facing a fleet entirely made of submarines, the line abreast formation is recommended. As the enemy fleet's formation is based on the composition of said fleet, a fleet of four subs will always be in echelon formation. This is advantageous for you, as the accuracy of their pre-emptive torpedoes will generally suck because of this.
 
  
−
Using high ASW ships is helpful, but not strictly necessary. You will still deal good damage due to the line abreast formation. Stacking ASW equipment on your ships is highly recommended. Add in any battleship to enable the second round of attacks. Finally, take a light carrier (or a carrier if you feel you don't need the extra attack) equipped with a Saiun recon plane. The Saiun will ensure that the ''Crossing the T (Disadvantageous)'' formation is avoided, which is very important, as this particular engagement form significantly hinders your ability to kill subs.
+
=Exercise Tips=
 +
===General Tips===
  
−
If the enemy fleet has a sub supported by a real fleet (battleships, carriers, etc), the battle becomes more difficult. Consider running Kitakami and Ooi with minisubs and ASW equipment. Their pre-emptive torpedo attack will prioritize enemy ships over the sub, and they have reasonably high ASW. When using the torpedo cruisers, you should use line ahead formation in order to maximize their accuracy, as this strategy hinges on sinking or critically damaging one or two of the enemy's ships to win the surface battle. Field one or more battleships to cement your surface superiority, and possibly a carrier (light carriers will target the sub and deal ''very ''little damage due to the formation) equipped with a Saiun. Adding another good ASW ship such as Isuzu Kai 2 is a good idea too. The main problem of this enemy fleet composition tends to be killing the sub, not killing the surface ships.
+
* If the sum of the opponent's first two ships's level is over 50, then a base experience of 500 can be expected.  
 +
* It is almost always worth doing exercises against powerful opponents. Even when losing badly, a significant amount of experience is gained from high level girls.
 +
** Setting the matchmaker to "Group 1" will provide more powerful opponents on average.
 +
* It is inadvisable to run carriers with bombers in exercises.
 +
** Due to how powerful girl anti-air can be, it can cost between 200-500 bauxite when runing into a fleet with heavy AA.
 +
* The flagship receives a significant bonus, this makes it a great way to level weak or expensive girls.
 +
* {{color|red|Heavily damaged (大破)}} girls are subject to "sinking" just like in sorties.
 +
** '''They will not be lost if they are "sunk" in exercises''', but they will not earn any experience and will affect the rank.
  
−
As always, there is still some RNG involved with this strategy. If the enemy manages to inflict enough damage to your ASW ships, your chances of killing the sub are slim. Even then, you will probably still come out with an A or B rank.
+
===Fleet Setup===
−
==Fleet Formations==
+
* Formation triggers can be abused to get an easy fight.
−
Your PvP opponent's fleet formation changes depending on the ship types of both player's flagships.
+
** Eg. running submarines to neuter a fleet by forcing it into line abreast.
−
# If your '''opponent''' has a '''submarine''' as flagship, and '''at least 4 ships''' in their fleet, their formation will be '''echelon'''.
+
** It is inadvisable to do this too often as it is wasting experience that could go to more useful girls.
−
# If your '''opponent''' has an''' aircraft carrier''' as flagship and '''at least 5 ships''', their formation will be''' ring'''.
+
* Running a carrier loaded with fighters is advisable to gain air superiority and activate artillery spotting.
−

+
** Having a [[Saiun]] can also prevent Red T.
−
# In all other cases the formation will be '''line ahead'''.
+
* When facing submarines, use line abreast formation and ASW ships.
 +
** Adding a battleship to allow a 2nd round of shelling will help.
 +
** Being able to [[OASW]] will make sumbmarine fleets trivial.
 +

The Exercise (演習) menu can be accessed from the Sortie (出撃) button on the main menu. Unlike the rest of the game, this section of the game is "PVP", where a random selection of 5 other players' fleet on the server can be fought twice a day.

  • The exercise list will reset each day at 03 h and 15 h JST, for a total of 10 PVP battles a day.

Menu Functions

PvP Menu
  • Flagship - Displays the opponent's current flagship.
  • Name - Displays the opponent's name.
  • Message - Displays the opponent's "Military Record menu message".
  • HQ Level - Displays the opponent's HQ level.
  • Medals - Displays the number of hard mode medals the opponent has.
  • Result - Displays the result of the exercise. It will be blank until the opponent is fought.
  • Matchmaking Mode - Allows to select which matchmaking mode for the next PVP session.
  • Fleet Preview - Displays the opponent's current fleet.
    • This preview can change at anytime, even just after engaging this opponent.
  • Opponent Information - Displays the opponent's current rank, total HQ experience, number of ships, equipment, and furniture.
  • Challenge - Starts the exercise.

How to Exercise

A more detailed look at the opponent
  1. To begin an exercise, just click on the opponent to fight. This will bring up the opponent's information.
  2. Clicking on Challenge (演習を挑む) will bring up the fleets (all 4 can be used).
  3. Clicking on Begin Exercise (演習開始！) will start the exercise.
  4. Select a formation to begin combat.
    • This step is the last chance to back out. Once a formation is selected, the battle result will be locked in and this opponent cannot be challenged again.
    • If the exercise is canceled :
      • Girls will not earn experience,
      • PVP victory will not be counted in relevant quests.

Notes:

  • The flagship cannot be heavily damaged (大破).
    • It is possible to deploy if an escort ship is heavily damaged, but it may result in that ship not receiving any EXP. See below for details.
  • Since the daily quest list refreshes at 05 h JST, it is possible to "finish" the day's exercise quest by exercising between 03 h and 05 h. However, this will cause to have fewer battles for the next day (ending up using the next day's list early).
  • The opposing fleet is the current 1st fleet of the opponent.
    • The composition of that fleet is updated in almost real time. It is only confirmed after formation is selected.
    • It happen to end up fighting a different fleet than what was presented in the opponent information menu.
  • Plane Proficiency cannot be gained or lost in exercises.
  • The opponents' fleets will always be at full HP and 0 plane proficiency regardless of their real status.
  • It is not possible to have a rematch with an opponent twice in the same session.
    • They can still be selected again during another session.
  • Exercises cost as much as a normal combat node. That is 20% fuel and ammo.
  • Girls cannot be sunk in exercises on both sides.
    • They can be considered as "sunk" for experience gain and victory condition purposes.
    • A girl's HP will never go below 1 HP, "sunk" girls being displayed with a single HP regardless of their actual health.
      • As such, the displayed damage taken by girls cannot go beyond their total current HP.
      • When using a 3rd party viewer, it is possible to see the "real" health of a girl.
    • This can lead to confusion as actual 1HP girls are still not considered "sunk" for the purposes of determining rank.

Matchmaking Modes

The three different matchmaking modes are as follows:

  • Exercise Fleet [Group 1] (演習艦隊【第一群】): Opponents will be selected from those that have a higher HQ level. Fleets are generally tougher but will have better experience rewards.
  • Exercise Fleet [Group 2] (演習艦隊【第二群】): Opponents with an equivalent HQ level are selected. Fleets will generally be evenly matched but provide less experience.
  • Entire Server (全体): This is the original PvP matchmaking system and it is the default mode. Oppontents are selected as follows:
    • 1 random player within the Top 1000 of the server.
    • 3 players immediately above you in rankings.
    • 1 player 10 places above you in rankings.
    • When being within the Top 1000, it will just be 5 random players within the top 1000.

Important Notes

  • It is possible to freely swap between matchmaking modes until 2 hours before PvP reset (01 h and 13 h JST).
  • It is generally advised to use "Group 1" whenever possible because it will match with high-level players. They will generally have high-leveled ships that give the most exp.

Fleet Formations

The formation of the opponent's fleet is determined by a few factors:

  • If the opponent has 3 or fewer ships in the fleet, their formation will be line ahead regardless of your composition. Otherwise:
  1. If you have a SS or SSV flagship and at least 1 other SS/SSV, their formation will be line abreast.
  2. If your opponent has a SS or SSV flagship, their formation will be echelon.
  3. If your opponent has a CV or CVL flagship and at least 5 ships, their formation will be diamond.
    • Note that this means CV flagship of a 4-ship fleet will not be in diamond.
  4. In all other cases, their formation will be line ahead.

In case multiple criteria are met (for example, a fleet of 5 ships led by a CV facing a submarine-only fleet), the precedence is:

  1. Line abreast
  2. Echelon / Diamond (equal priority)
  3. Line ahead

So in the example given above, the enemy will be in line abreast.

Experience Gain

Please see Experience and Rank for more details on the formula used for calculating experience earned in exercises.

Experience Chart

The table below represents the post-cap experience without the rank multiplier depending on the 1st and 2nd ships of the opponent.

  • The first column represents the flagship level and the first row is the 2nd ship level.
  • The red numbers represent the 100s thresholds for experience.
  • The numbers assumes a random integer of 0, as per the experience formula.

CT experience enhancement

Training Cruisers (CT) behave similarly to Light Cruisers, with the ability to increase exp earned from Exercises.

  • The bonus depends on their position and number in the fleet as well as their level. See below for bonus values:

Exercise Tips

General Tips

  • If the sum of the opponent's first two ships's level is over 50, then a base experience of 500 can be expected.
  • It is almost always worth doing exercises against powerful opponents. Even when losing badly, a significant amount of experience is gained from high level girls.
    • Setting the matchmaker to "Group 1" will provide more powerful opponents on average.
  • It is inadvisable to run carriers with bombers in exercises.
    • Due to how powerful girl anti-air can be, it can cost between 200-500 bauxite when runing into a fleet with heavy AA.
  • The flagship receives a significant bonus, this makes it a great way to level weak or expensive girls.
  • Heavily damaged (大破) girls are subject to "sinking" just like in sorties.
    • They will not be lost if they are "sunk" in exercises, but they will not earn any experience and will affect the rank.

Fleet Setup

  • Formation triggers can be abused to get an easy fight.
    • Eg. running submarines to neuter a fleet by forcing it into line abreast.
    • It is inadvisable to do this too often as it is wasting experience that could go to more useful girls.
  • Running a carrier loaded with fighters is advisable to gain air superiority and activate artillery spotting.
    • Having a Saiun can also prevent Red T.
  • When facing submarines, use line abreast formation and ASW ships.
    • Adding a battleship to allow a 2nd round of shelling will help.
    • Being able to OASW will make sumbmarine fleets trivial.
  • When facing a heavy fleet, a full submarine fleet can be run to scrape a victory.
    • Placing a surface ship as the flag can force the opponent into line ahead to neuter any ASW ships present.
  • A single submarine can help tank light ships of the opponent's fleet.

Exercise Result Reports
