Daytime Attack Cap often makes it important to utilize [[Combat#Artillery_Spotting_.28Post-Cap_Modifier.29|Artillery Spotting]] when possible to increase damage. [[Combat#Night Combat|Night Combat]] can be very dangerous and/or rewarding due to having a very high cap and the inclusion of torpedo to firepower for attack power calculation.

*Type 2 Recon Aircraft is useful in the case that the bombing damage bonus is desired while not removing the chance for T-disadvantage, due to its high trigger rate.

*With contact, the maximum attack power of bombing (before defense, critical and ammo) is around 180. With some luck, it's possible to sink even Ru-class Flagships (Armor = 99) in one strike without a critical.
