Introduction

This page is to provide an in-depth look into the hit rate mechanics in game for single/combined fleets and land-based air squadrons. The formulas presented in this page are still subject to change as more testing is done.

Please note that all formulas between [math]\displaystyle{ \lfloor \ \rfloor }[/math] are rounded down.


Hit Rate

The hit rate is used by all attacks.

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Hit %} = \bigl\lfloor \text{Hit}_\text{cap} \bigr\rfloor + \text{Acc}_\text{proficiency} +1 }[/math]

Where, the Capped Hit Rate [math]\displaystyle{ \left( \text{Hit}_\text{cap} \right) }[/math] is:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Hit}_\text{cap} = \text{cap}_\text{max}\left( \text{cap}_\text{min} \left(\text{Accuracy}_\text{atk} - \text{Evasion}_\text{def}\right) \times \text{Morale}_\text{defender} \right) }[/math]

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Accuracy}_\text{atk} }[/math] is the calculated accuracy of the attack. Please see below for the various accuracy formulas.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Evasion}_\text{def} }[/math] is the calculated evasion of the defending ship. Please see below for the various evasion formulas.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Morale}_\text{defender} }[/math] is the morale state modifier of the defending ship.
    • >52 morale (sparkling) is [math]\displaystyle{ 0.7 }[/math]
    • 30-52 morale (normal) is [math]\displaystyle{ 1.0 }[/math]
    • 20-29 morale (orange) is [math]\displaystyle{ 1.2 }[/math]
    • 0-19 morale (red) is [math]\displaystyle{ 1.4 }[/math]
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Acc}_\text{proficiency} }[/math] is the average plane proficiency accuracy bonus. Please see Plane Proficiency for more details.
    • The average is calculated only from dive bombers, torpedo bombers, seaplane bombers and large flying boats.
    • The value is [math]\displaystyle{ 12 }[/math] for >> ranked planes.


Hit Rate Caps

There is a minimum and maximum hit rate in the game.

  • The minimum of [math]\displaystyle{ \text{cap}_\text{min}\left(x\right) }[/math] is 10.
  • The maximum of [math]\displaystyle{ \text{cap}_\text{max}\left(x\right) }[/math] is 96.


Important Notes

  • Hit rate has an effective minimum of 11% and a maximum of 97%.
  • Plane proficiency is the only factor that allows a ship to go beyond 100% hit rate.

Critical Hit Rate

The following are the various formulas for determining critical hits for attacks.

  • Shelling/ASW (including carriers): [math]\displaystyle{ \lfloor 1.3 \times \sqrt{\text{Hit}_\text{cap}} \rfloor + \text{Crit}_\text{proficiency} + 1 }[/math]
  • Torpedo: [math]\displaystyle{ \lfloor 1.5 \times \sqrt{\text{Hit}_\text{cap}} \rfloor + 1 }[/math]
  • Airstrike: [math]\displaystyle{ \lfloor 0.2 \times \sqrt{\text{Hit}_\text{cap}} \rfloor + \text{Crit}_\text{proficiency} + 1 }[/math]
  • Night Battle (including carriers): [math]\displaystyle{ \lfloor \left(1.5 + \text{Const}_\text{contact} \right) \sqrt{\text{Hit}_\text{cap}} \rfloor + 1 }[/math]
  • Shelling Support: [math]\displaystyle{ \lfloor 1.3 \times \sqrt{\text{Hit}_\text{cap}} \rfloor + 1 }[/math]
  • Airstrike Support: [math]\displaystyle{ \lfloor 0.2 \times \sqrt{\text{Hit}_\text{cap}} \rfloor + 1 }[/math]
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Crit}_\text{proficiency} }[/math] is the plane proficiency critical bonus. Please see Plane Proficiency for more details.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Const}_\text{contact} }[/math] is the night contact constant from the Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout). It is [math]\displaystyle{ 0.07 }[/math] if night contact is triggered, [math]\displaystyle{ 0 }[/math] otherwise.

Accuracy Formulas

Below are the common variables used in all accuracy formulas:

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Level} }[/math] is the level of the attacking ship.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck} }[/math] is the luck Luck of the attacking ship.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Acc}_{equip} }[/math] is the total accuracy Accuracy provided by the equipment calculated as [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Acc}_\text{equip base} + \text{Mod}_\text{Impr} \times \sqrt{\bigstar} }[/math]
    • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Acc}_\text{equip base} }[/math] is the base accuracy Accuracy displayed on the equipment.
    • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{Impr} }[/math] is the equipment's improvement modifier for the applicable attack.

    • >52 morale (sparkling) is [math]\displaystyle{ 1.2 }[/math]
    • 30-52 morale (normal) is [math]\displaystyle{ 1.0 }[/math]
    • 20-29 morale (orange) is [math]\displaystyle{ 0.8 }[/math]
    • 0-19 morale (red) is [math]\displaystyle{ 0.5 }[/math]


Important Notes

  • Because of the number of modifiers to accuracy in game, it is trivial to increase accuracy. Therefore it is more important to prioritise firepower.


Daytime Shelling

This formula applies to both surface shelling and carrier attacks during daytime combat and support. It does not apply to carrier airstrikes.

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Accuracy}_\text{shelling} = \biggl\lfloor \left( \left( \text{Acc}_\text{base} + 2\sqrt{\text{Level}} + 1.5\sqrt{\text{Luck}} + \sum_{\text{All Equips}} \text{Acc}_{equip} \right) \times \text{Mod}_\text{formation} \times \text{Mod}_\text{morale} + \text{Mod}_\text{fit} \right) \times \text{Mod}_\text{spotting} \times \text{Mod}_\text{AP} \biggr\rfloor }[/math]

Torpedo Attacks

This formula only applies to opening and closing torpedo attacks in day.

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Accuracy}_\text{torpedo} = \left( 85 + 2\sqrt{\text{Level}} + 1.5\sqrt{\text{Luck}} + \sum_{\text{All Equips}} \text{Acc}_{equip} + \frac{\text{Attack}_\text{torp}}{5} + \text{Mod}_\text{ship} \right) \times \text{Mod}_\text{formation} \times \text{Mod}_\text{morale} }[/math]

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{formation} }[/math] for torpedo attacks is as follows:

    • This means that engagement and damage state play a role in torpedo accuracy.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{ship} }[/math] is the innate torpedo accuracy of the ship. Currently only Abyssal ships have values above [math]\displaystyle{ 0 }[/math].


Aerial Combat

This formula applies to the airstrikes performed during the aerial combat phase and support. Although ASW support functions like an airstrike for damage, it does not use this formula.

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Accuracy}_\text{airstrike} = 95 }[/math]

Important Notes

  • Airstrike accuracy is a constant and not affected by any outside factors.

    • Large sonars are not counted for this bonus.


Night Battles

This formula applies to all night battle attacks.

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Accuracy}_\text{NB} = \bigl( \text{Mod}_\text{contact} \left( 69 + \text{Mod}_\text{star shell} \right) + 2\sqrt{\text{Level}} + 1.5\sqrt{\text{Luck}} + \sum_{\text{All Equips}} \text{Acc}_{equip} \bigr) \times \text{Mod}_\text{formation} \times \text{Mod}_\text{morale} \times \text{Mod}_\text{special} + \text{Mod}_\text{searchlight} + \text{Mod}_\text{20.3cm} + \text{Mod}_\text{fit} }[/math]

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{proficiency} }[/math] is the plane proficiency accuracy bonus. Please see Plane Proficiency for more details.
    • The value is [math]\displaystyle{ 12 }[/math] for >> ranked planes.

Evasion Formulas

Evasion has several caps depending on the calculated base evasion of the ship. Base evasion is calculated as follows:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Evasion}_\text{base} = \bigl\lfloor \left( \text{Evasion}_\text{ship} + \sqrt{2\text{Luck}} \right) \times \text{Mod}_\text{formation} \bigr\rfloor }[/math]

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{formation} }[/math] is the formation modifier. It varies based on the attack being received. Please see Combat for more details.
    • Currently modifiers for Vanguard are unknown.


The various capped evasion formulas to calculate the final evasion rate is as follows:

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Evasion}_\text{base} \gt 40: \text{Evasion}_\text{cap} = \text{Evasion}_\text{base} }[/math]
  • [math]\displaystyle{ 40 \lt \text{Evasion}_\text{base} \lt 65: \text{Evasion}_\text{cap} = \lfloor 40 + 3\sqrt{\text{Evasion}_\text{base} - 40} \rfloor }[/math]
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Evasion}_\text{base} \gt 65: \text{Evasion}_\text{cap} = \lfloor55 + 2\sqrt{\text{Evasion}_\text{base} - 65}\rfloor }[/math]


Capped evasion is then modified by post-cap modifiers:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Evasion %} = \biggl\lfloor \text{Mod}_\text{searchlight} \times \left( \text{Evasion}_\text{cap} + \text{Mod}_\text{sonar} + \text{Mod}_\text{CA} + \text{Mod}_\text{vanguard} - \text{Mod}_\text{fuel} \right) \biggr\rfloor }[/math]

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{searchlight} }[/math] is the searchlight evasion penalty. It is [math]\displaystyle{ 0.2 }[/math] for any ship equipped with a searchlight (even if not triggered) and [math]\displaystyle{ 1.0 }[/math] otherwise.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{sonar} }[/math] is the sonar improvement modifier that only applies to opening and closing torpedo attacks. It is [math]\displaystyle{ 0 }[/math] otherwise.
    • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{sonar} = \sum_{\text{All Sonars}} 1.5\sqrt{\bigstar} }[/math]
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{CA} }[/math] is the heavy/aviation cruiser night battle evasion bonus. It is [math]\displaystyle{ 5 }[/math] for heavy/aviation cruisers and [math]\displaystyle{ 0 }[/math] otherwise.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{vanguard} }[/math] is the Vanguard evasion bonus. This is different from the formation modifier that gets taken into account for base evasion. Bonuses are:
    • For ships at the top (slots 1-2 or 1-3): Non-destroyers get a 5% bonus. Destroyers get a 20% bonus.
    • For the rest of the ships at the bottom (slots 3-5 or 4-7): Non-destroyers get a 20% bonus. Destroyers get a 40% bonus.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{fuel} }[/math] is the remaining fuel penalty.
    • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{fuel} = 75 - \text{Fuel} }[/math]
    • If fuel is above 75%, the penalty is 0.
    • The penalty is an integer and not a percentage.
Remaining Fuel Penalty
Remaining Fuel Battle #[1] Penalty
80% 2nd Battle 0
60% 3rd Battle 15
40% 4th Battle 35
20% 5th Battle 55
0% 6th+ Battle 75
  1. This only takes into account normal day battles. Special nodes have different resource consumption.


Important Notes

  • The speed of the fleet is supposed to play a role in evasion. Currently, said increase is either nonexistent or too small to test.


Special Cases

PT Imps

PT Imps were introduced during the Summer 2017 Event. They have a very high evasion rate and are next to impossible to hit with normal shelling and torpedo attacks. This even includes special attacks. In order to sink them, your ships will require specific equipment setups.

These rates are based on tests conducted during the Summer 2017 Event.[1] The average observed hit rate without anti-imp setups was about 40% for regular fleets and about 10% for TCF. The values on the table are the differences in hit rates compared to this. The actual relation with accuracy calculations as well as PT Imp evasion stats are unknown.

Equipment Setup Bonus Notes
DD CL CA/BB
Small Caliber Main Gun Lookout 50% 25% N/A Adding more main guns does not increase the hit rate. Adding more lookouts halves the rate.
Lookout Anti-Aircraft Gun 50% 25% N/A
Lookout Anti-Aircraft Gun Anti-Aircraft Gun 100%? 50% 30%
Small Caliber Main Gun Lookout Anti-Aircraft Gun 100%? ?? ??
Secondary Gun Lookout N/A 35% 15%
RADAR Lookout 10% ?? ?? Only applies to RADARs with LOS stats greater than 5.
Secondary Gun Anti-Aircraft Gun Seaplane N/A ?? 45% Only applies to Zuiuns.
Secondary Gun Seaplane Lookout N/A ?? 75%
Small Caliber Main Gun Anti-Aircraft Gun 10% N/A N/A Destroyer only.
Small Caliber Main Gun Small Caliber Main Gun Anti-Aircraft Gun 30% N/A N/A Destroyer only.
Small Caliber Main Gun Anti-Aircraft Gun Anti-Aircraft Gun 50% N/A N/A Destroyer only.


Important Notes

  • Small Caliber Guns + Lookout + Machine Gun is the best anti-imp setup.
  • It is inadvisable to run anti-imp setups on any ship but destroyers because it compromises their combat effectiveness.
  • Having a reinforcement expansion is important because it allows the ship to not waste a slot on a machine gun.
  • The values presented above are theorised to be fixed hit rates.
    • This means they are unaffected by any outside factors.
  • Certain High-Angle Gun that count as small caliber main guns can substitute for Small Caliber Main Gun.
  • Certain High-Angle Gun that count as secondary guns can substitute for Secondary Gun.
