===Crossing the T===
 
===Crossing the T===
Classic naval strategy in which a line of warships cross in front of a line formation 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. Gameplay wise, when your fleet crosses the enemy fleet, '''BOTH''' sides (counter-intuitively) gain a significant increase in damage dealt. When the opponent crosses your fleet, '''BOTH''' sides gain a signficiant damage decrease.

===Expedition===
{{details|Expedition}} This is where you send your fleets to complete expeditions, in exchange for resources and certain items. For some ships and items, the only way to obtain them is by doing expedition. None of the expeditions involve combat, so you won't have to worry about losing any of your ships. You will, however, need to resupply their fuel tanks once the expedition is finished. Also, it is one of the main sources of income.

Class classification

All of ship class codes on the list are based on USN Hull Classification Codes.

Terms In-game Code Japanese Name English Name
Kanji Romaji
DD 駆逐 駆逐艦 Kuchikukan Destroyer
SS 潜水艦 Sensuikan Submarine
SSV 潜母 潜水空母 Sensuikūbo Submarine Aircraft Carrier
CL 軽巡 軽巡洋艦 Kei Jun'yōkan Light Cruiser
CLT 雷巡 重雷装巡洋艦 Jūraisō Jun'yōkan Torpedo Cruiser
CA 重巡 重巡洋艦 Jū Jun'yōkan Heavy Cruiser
CAV 航巡 航空巡洋艦 Kōkū Jun'yōkan Aviation Cruiser
AV 水母 水上機母艦 Suijōkibokan Seaplane Tender
CVB/CV/CVL - 正規空母 Sei'ki kūbo Fleet Carrier
CVL 軽母 軽空母 Kei kūbo Light Aircraft Carrier
CV 航空母艦 Kōkū bokan Standard Aircraft Carrier
CV 装母 装甲空母 Sōkō kūbo Armored Aircraft Carrier
BB 戦艦 Senkan Battleship
FBB 高速戦艦 Kōsoku Senkan Fast Battleship
BBV 航戦 航空戦艦 Kōkū Senkan Aviation Battleship
LHA 揚陸 ドック型揚陸艦 Dokkugata Yōrikukan Amphibious Assault Ship
AR 工作艦 Kōsakukan Repair Ship
AS 潜母艦 潜水母艦 Sensui bokan Submarine Tender

Note:

  • Fast battleships share the same hull classification with slow Battleships.
  • Terms "Kūbo" (空母) is a shorthand for "Kōkū bokan" (航空母艦), which means "Aircraft Carrier".
  • In-game, the cards and encyclopedia have the ship class English Name, some are rendered differently from above. The exceptions are:
    • "Aircraft Carrying Submarine" instead of "Submarine Aircraft Carrier"
    • "Aircraft Cruiser" instead of "Aviation Cruiser"
    • "Seaplane Carrier" instead of "Seaplane Tender"
    • "Aircraft Carrier" instead of "Standard Aircraft Carrier"
    • "Aircraft Carrier" instead of "Armored Aircraft Carrier"
    • "Battleship" instead of "Fast Battleship"
  • There is actually no hull classification code for armored carriers, but Kancolle-fans keep using CVB which actually was for big aircraft carriers like Shinano.



General

API link

Method to play the game without having to access the official DMM website.


Crossing the T

Classic naval strategy in which a line of warships cross in front of a line formation 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. Gameplay wise, when your fleet crosses the enemy fleet, BOTH sides (counter-intuitively) gain a significant increase in damage dealt. When the opponent crosses your fleet, BOTH sides gain a significant damage decrease.


Docking

Allow your damaged ships to be repaired to full health. The repair, also known as "bath" requires steel and fuel, and will take "some" time to complete. You can use the Instant repair item/Bucket (高速修復材) to instantly complete the repair.


Expedition

This is where you send your fleets to complete expeditions, in exchange for resources and certain items. For some ships and items, the only way to obtain them is by doing expedition. None of the expeditions involve combat, so you won't have to worry about losing any of your ships. You will, however, need to resupply their fuel tanks once the expedition is finished. Also, it is one of the main sources of income.


Food supply ship Mamiya

Blinking button in the 'Organize' menu showing that Mamiya's food can be used.

Removes any fatigue on your fleet. If you don't use it, it could function as a fatigue indicator, as it informs you of when a girl in your fleet has fatigue, even without the orange fatigue indication. See here for the Wikipedia entry.


Modernization

Process of using unused ships to increase stats (Firepower, AA, Torpedo, Armor) of a single ship. Also known as Merging.


Naval Exercise

PVP-like battle with no risk of repair and sinking, and only costs the player fuel, ammo and bauxite. Opponent teams update in real-time, but there is no simultaneous play.

  • New opponent list refreshed at 03:00 and 15:00 JST


Phases of Battle

  • Day Battle
    1. Reconnaissance (Stat boost, avoid being T-crossed)
    2. Initial airstrike (opening bombing, air superiority)
    3. Support fleet attack
    4. Opening/initial torpedo strike (see Type A Ko-hyoteki (甲標的甲型))
    5. Shelling/artillery phase (regular airstrike happens here)
    6. Torpedo salvo
  • Night Battle


Remodel

Often confused with Modernization, will usually result in *ship name*-Kai (改). also known as Upgrading.


Fatigue

Orange/sad faces are displayed next to the ship icon if they are too fatigued. Rest them for 15 minutes or so if it happens. Fatigue will reduce by 3 every 3 minutes.

Fatigued ships will have lower accuracy and evasion.

If your ships are still fatigued upon returning from expedition, your expedition will end up failing even with all other criteria fulfilled.


Sparkle

The polar opposite of Fatigue. If one or more of your ships sparkle, they will gain evasion boost during sortie. The evasion boost stats are not shown in your ship stats directly. Or, if you choose to send a sparkling ship on an expedition, it will have a chance for 150% resource gain and a higher likelihood of returning with a special item (note that this requires the entire fleet to be consisting of sparkling ships).


Medal

How to exchange medals for rewards?

Medal(勲章), is a multi-purpose item that can be used to exchange for a small amount of resources or a remodel blueprint(改装設計図).

  • 1 medal can be used to exchange for Fuel x300, Ammunition x300, Steel x300, Bauxite x300 and Instant repair x2.
  • 4 medals are needed to exchange for 1 x remodel blueprint.

Medals can be obtained by clearing certain maps. You can find the amount of medals owned by accessing the Item page(アイテム) at the top menu bar of the main screen. Remodel blueprint is needed to remodel certain ships.
