Introduction

Installations, also known as Land Bases, are a special type of enemy generally reserved to ranks such as Princess and, by extent, possess unusually high combat prowess and durability. Installations are meant to represent military facilities and fortifications such as anchorages and airfields, and thus are difficult to deal with through traditional "anti-ship" means and will most likely require special setups to be defeated.

General Characteristics

All installations follow the following set of rules:

Classification

Installations are classified by two categories: Type (BB, BBV, CV) and Toughness (Soft Skin or Hard Skin).

Type

Type Characteristics
Battleship (BB) Examples are Artillery Imps and Central Princess.
  • Uses the surface shelling formula for calculating damage.
  • Uses the shelling attack animation in day and night battle.
  • Can continue attacking when moderately damaged.
Aviation Battleship (BBV) Most installations fall under this category.
  • Uses the carrier attack formula for calculating damage.
  • Uses the shelling attack animation in day and night battle.
  • Cannot attack during the day if heavily damaged or if there are no planes left.
  • Forced to attack submarines if they have equipment with Anti-Submarine WarfareAnti-Submarine stat.
Carrier (CV) Example is Lycoris Princess.
  • Uses the carrier attack formula for calculating damage.
  • Uses the carrier attack animation in day battle and the shelling animation at night.
  • Cannot attack during the day if moderately damaged or if there are no planes left.
  • Do not enable the 2nd shelling phase if there is no battleship present.

Toughness

Type Characteristics
Soft Skin Examples are Supply Depot Princess, Harbor Princess, and Northern Princess.
  • Takes a lot of damage from Anti-Aircraft ShellType 3 ShellType 3 Shell and less from other Anti-Installation equipment.
    • This weakness allows battleships and heavy cruisers to easily deal with these installation types.
  • Still takes a decent amount of damage from other anti-installation equipment.
Hard Skin Examples are Isolated Island Demon, Artillery Imp, and Summer Harbor Princess.
  • Takes more damage from Anti-Installation equipment like Landing CraftLanding Crafts, Amphibious VehicleTanks and Anti-Ground RocketAnti-ground Artillery.
