General

Crossing the T

Classic naval strategy in which a line of warships crossed in front of a line of enemy ships, allowing the crossing line to bring all their guns to bear while receiving fire from only the forward guns of the enemy.

Food supply ship Mamiya

Remove any fatigue on your fleet. if you don't use it, it could function as fatigue indicator. See here for the wikipedia entry.

Tracer-fire effect

This occurs when a ship fires any equipped machineguns to defend itself, reducing incoming damage from enemy bombers.  Your lead ship will always do this by default, even without any anti-air stat (will shoot down nothing in that case).

Equipment

Color-coded Aircraft

• Red Plane: Dive Bomber
• Blue Plane: Torpedo Bomber
• Green-
  • Carrier-based Plane: Air Superiority Fighter
  • Seaplane: Uncategorized, recon and bomber seaplane are lumped together in this icon.

Color-coded Naval Guns

It is based on their roles, not ability.

• Red Gun: Main Gun; Primarily used against ships, but in some cases has the ability to attack aircraft (e.g. 46cm Triple Cannon).
• Yellow Gun: Secondary Gun; could not attack aircraft, but increase the accuracy and AA stats.
• Green Gun: High-angle dual-purpose guns or AA machine guns
  • High-angle guns have the ability to attack both aircraft and ships. This Includes the 12.7cm green gun and the 10cm green gun.  Has a chance to trigger a forward-sliding motion of your ship's card in battle to reduce the amount of aircraft bombing your entire fleet in the initial airstrike phase.  (The 46cm red gun also has this function; see above.)
  • AA machine guns specifically attack aircraft and always trigger tracer-fire effect.  Guns in this category include the 7.7mm machine gun all the way up to the 12cm x30 rocket launcher mount.  These trigger a tracer-fire effect in battle and reduce the amount of aircraft bombing a single ship in the initial airstrike phase.

Midget Submarine

Also known as Type A Ko-hyoteki (甲標的甲型), it's an submarine equipable on Torpedo Cruiser (e.g. Kitakami), Submarine, and Seaplane Tender. Frequently used because of their ability to attack before the shelling phase.

Turbine

An important equipment for Destroyer and other ships with low armor in mid-game. Help ships to evade any incoming attack.
