For more information on this topic, see Anti-Installation.

As a general rule, to engage in anti-installation warfare, a combination of regular setups (DA, AACI, ASW, ...), has to be mixed with the use of more or less "anti-installation equipment":

• Regarding Landing Equipment:
  • These provide on average the highest flat/multiplier damage bonus against all installations.
  • As Landing Craft, Amphibious Tanks, and Landing Forces have separate multipliers, it is recommended to use them in tandem to maximize the effect.
  • Only the following ships can equip those equipment, and so are particularly valuable in those situations:

Ships that can equip Landing Craft / Amphibious Vehicles
Type	Landing Craft		Both &		Amphibious Vehicle
DD			Kai Ni D Kai Ni D Kai Ni D Kai Ni D		Kai Ni
CL		Kai Ni D Kai Ni Toku
CAV		Kai Ni Toku
(F)BB(V)		Kai Ni Juu	Kai Ni C
CVL		Kai Ni Sen
AV		Kai Ni Toku
AO
LHA
SS(V)			All
RE	Soukoutei (Armored Boat Class): Shinshuu Maru Ka-Tsu tanks : I-36  · I-41  · I-47 Kai · I-58 Kai
[edit]

• Regarding Anti-Ground Rockets:
  • If a ship's base firepower is low or just cannot equip landing equipment, it can be viable to use Anti-Ground Rockets to provide a large flat damage increase to supplement the ship's anti-installation damage.
  • Depending on whether one or more Anti-Ground Artilleries are to be equipped on a ship, it is recommended to use a WG42 for singular purposes, or Shipborne Model Type 4 20cm Anti-ground Rocket Launchers (or CD) if multiple are needed.
  • ASW Mortar
    are inferior substitutes to regular Anti-Ground Rockets when lacking those.

• Regarding Shells:
  • AP Shells are mostly effective against "Hard Skin Installations",
  • AA Shells are mostly effective against "Soft Skin Installations".

Nuke Setup describes any setups using anti-installation equipment from multiple categories to multiplicatively amplify damage dealt to installations (dealing "nuclear-like damage").

• Such a setup has a strong anti-installation power against all installations but is hampered by the daytime damage cap.
• Nuke Setups are recommended to be used when dealing with Supply Depot Princess in particular, utilizing the high post-cap side of the bonuses to deal with her generally high HP pool.
• The setup's damage can be further improved by using multiple copies of those types of equipment where applicable.
  • For example, equipping multiple Amphibious Tanks or Landing Craft with unique bonuses instead of anti-ground rockets provides better damage output for the ship, however, it is advised to only do so if you have enough available for the other ships in your fleet that require them.

All "surface" anti-installation setups can be further enhanced by using them in Special Attacks, especially the Nelson-class's Touch.

In addition to the regular "supporting equipment" can also be added the Barrage Balloons for anti-installation only.

Equipment Setup	Notes
General anti-installation setups
	Yamato-class Kai Ni & Ise-class Kai Ni, else it requires a RE. "Best of both worlds" for 5-slot battleships.
/	Haruna Kai Ni C, Nagato-class Kai Ni & Yamato Kai Ni Juu only. The landing craft/special amphibious tank will make their Special Attacks deal significantly more damage to installation enemies. Keeping the seaplane allows to still perform artillery spotting to maintain enough effectiveness against other targets.
Anti-hard skins setups
	The basic battleship setup. Because Battleships are not far away from the damage cap compared to other ship types, they do not benefit much from the high pre-cap multipliers that anti-installation equipment provides. The standard artillery spotting setup will allow them to utilize spotting attacks and AP Shell's post-cap bonuses against the installation, as well as be effective against all other targets in the enemy fleet.
Anti-soft skins setups
	This is an option when facing soft-skinned installations. Taking an AA shell will slightly improve their damage versus installations, but will also limit the battleship's effectiveness against all other targets by reducing their artillery spotting attack types.
Anti-SDP setups
+ or +	Nuke Setup , Yamato Kai Ni Juu only. A proper nuke setup keeping the Double Attack and artillery spotting, that uses Yamato's ability to carry Secondary Guns in her RE, also taking advantage of her Special Attack. An AP Shell may be used to replace the anti-ground rockets to improve performance against other targets, while improving the damage multiplier of Yamato's Special Attacks and Artillery Spotting types.

RE recommendations:

• In most cases, are better by bringing additional bonuses, especially the Kai & Kai 2 varainat that brings

Equipment Setup	Notes
General anti-installation setups
	This is only to be used when having anti-installation dive bombers. It will allow the carrier to still perform CVCI against other targets.
	The number of torpedo bombers and fighters in this setup can be varied depending on the amount of fighter power required. This is the standard carrier anti-installation setup. While it does sacrifice CVCI, the carrier shelling formula, and proficiency bonuses, it still ensures that carriers will do significant damage to installations and other targets.
Anti-SDP setups
	CV-Nuke Setup , Gambier Bay Mk.II & Unyou Kai/Ni only. A setup combining CVCI with landing craft bonuses (anti-installation dive bomber still required).
/ /	Nuke Setup , Houshou Kai Ni Sen, Gambier Bay Mk.II & Unyou Kai/Ni only. Sacrifices CVCI for larger "nuke" bonuses (requires anti-installation dive bomber). The 4th slot can be used to carry a ////, depending on the situation.

RE recommendations:

• Extra Armor in most cases,
• The RoSa K2 when facing air power,
• The SDP SDP+ to increase carrier damage output.

Equipment Setup	Notes
General anti-installation setups
	The standard anti-installation setup for heavy cruisers. It allows artillery spotting and deals decent damage against installations.
	This is an alternative setup only for CAV. It removes the ability to artillery spot for much more powerful anti-installation damage at night.
For Mogami-class Kai Ni with a RE, this setup additionally maintains the artillery spoting.
Minisub Bomber /+	This setup is for Mogami Kai Ni, allowing for oTorp, artillery spiting, and DA with anti-installation bonuses
Anti-SDP setups
+	Nuke Setup , Mogami Kai Ni Toku only. The last setup uses Mogami's ability to carry 8cm High-angle Guns in her RE, making this a true nuke setup while keeping the Double Attack.

RE recommendations:

• In most cases, are better by bringing additional bonuses, especially the Kai & Kai 2 varainat that brings

Equipment Setup	Notes
General anti-installation setups
	The most basic DA setup for cruisers who cannot carry landing craft.
/	The most basic DA setup for cruisers who can carry landing craft.
	A setup for 4-slot cruisers. This preserves their ability to double attack at night while giving them significant anti-installation power.
Minisub Bomber /+	This setup is for Yahagi Kai Ni B, allowing for oTorp, artillery spiting, and DA with anti-installation bonuses
Anti-SDP setups
	Nuke Setup

CLT should not engage in anti-installation warfare.

Equipment Setup	Notes
General anti-installation setups
	The most basic DA setup for destroyers who cannot carry landing craft.
	A basic setup DA for destroyers who cannot carry landing craft, providing a general bonus to the fleet.
/	The most basic DA setup for destroyers who can carry landing craft.
Anti-SDP setups
	Nuke Setup
/	Mini-Nuke Setup Substitute nuke setups to use ONLY when lacking Landing Craft or Special Amphibious Tanks.
Anti-installation-like warships setups
/+Surface	GTR+anti-installation setup (only for high-luck DD that can carry radar in RE). For Lv80+ DD only.
/+	TCI+anti-installation setup (lookout in RE helps trigger rate but is optional).

DE should not engage in anti-installation warfare.

Equipment Setup	Notes
General anti-installation setups
/	Equipping either is required for SS/V to attack installations during shelling.

Equipment Setup	Notes
Anti-SDP setups
	Nuke Setup 4-slot AVs can also either take a 2nd anti-ground rocket, a midget sub, or a seaplane fighter in their last slot.
	Double Nuke Setup are recommended instead of to avoid "Hidden Accuracy Penalties". This setup is for 4 slots AV to utilize the "Nuke" with a "Night DA".

Equipment Setup	Notes
Anti-SDP setups
	Nuke Setup LHAs can carry some of the strongest 4 slots nuke configurations.
+ +	Mega-Nuke Setup , Shinshuu Maru Kai only. Uses Shinshuu Maru's unique ability to carry a Soukoutei (Armored Boat Class) in her RE to further improve the LHA setup. The other Landing Craft should be the Daihatsu Landing Craft (Type 89 Medium Tank & Landing Force) for optimum effectiveness.
	Omega-Nuke Setup , No.101 Transport Ship Kai only. Uses LST's unique ability to carry Landing Forces.
	Double Nuke Setup This setup is to utilize the "Nuke" with a "Night DA".

Other auxiliaries should not focus on the anti-installation role. However, they can still utilize anti-installation equipment, such as in TP phases.

"Landing Craft Non-Capable" capable ships

CA

• Recon
• Recon +

The only anti-installation equipment a regular CA can carry are AA shells, which is effective against all installations but pillboxes, and extremely effective against soft-skinned installations.

• Bomber/
• Bomber/ +

Zara-class Kai+ Only, with the SPB/SPF providing additional bonuses.

CAV

All setups applicable to CA are fully applicable to CAV, with the possibility to also utilize :

• + virtually autocap against all install ations
• + night da pseudonuke

CL/DD/DE/AV/AS

• , , : pseudonuke. even a de performs better than a ca against sdp
• , , , : da pseudonuke

SS(V) nothing to be changed

CLT

should serve a support purpose (ie otorp against regular ships, oasw, bloon, smoke, etc) in an anti install fleet as the only possible anti install equip is asw mortar

CV(B/V)

In many cases, carriers are used in anti install fleet to remove non install ships, so that ships with anti install setups can target installs. however, they can also carry anti-install setups:

• , (anti-install), green: regular cvci setup can dmg installs if contains anti install dive bombers

i dont agree with using blue+green setups for anti install

• , , , : gamby/unyou, effective in escort when combined vs single, especially unyou k2, who can shell in nb with regular nb formula if not satisfying night time carrier attack conditions
• , , /, /: note that tonk is only possible on houshou

BB

"general":

• + setup: also one of the best setup for 4+1 slotted battleships in regular combat due to the firepower from the t3 shell. note that hotels can reach daytime cap without any *anti install equip, hence unless postcap modifiers exist, one usually would not use such setup on them
• da /: note that since bb has high fp, they benefit less from precap modifiers, hence such setup see little use
• yamato k2j , , , / + radar: touch+spotting+anti install setup, very effective when / provides nodewide postcap mod
• , , radar, / / , , , + radar: touch setup for 4 slotted battleships
• such setups with / are also quite effective against sdp/pseudoinstall, hence will not be repeated in anti sdp/pseudoinstall section

anti isolated:

• , , , ,  : ise class k2 only

anti pillbox:

• , , , : when RE is not an option, reduced version of the 5 equip setup. note that altho bringing a t3 in RE is still recommended if RE is available, t3 shell provides no modifier against pillboxes
