The "hidden fit bonus" mechanic refers to some ships receiving bonuses or penalties when equipping certain equipment, depending on if the equipment "fits" the class or not.

  • This almost exclusively refers to main guns, where each class of ship is engineered to carry up to certain gun calibers, and so, equipping gun turrets of the right caliber or lower will imply an accuracy bonus, whereas using larger calibers will result in some overweight penalties.
  • So far, all fits involve Accuracy Accuracy, and some also affect Firepower Firepower.
  • Not to be confused with visible Equipment Bonuses.

As hidden bonuses are unaffected by morale or fleet types (e.g. combined fleets), it can be interesting to utilize those fit bonuses as much as possible.

How much bonus/penalty a ship receives, depends on:

  • The ship class, larger classes being able to carry larger equipment,
  • If the ship is married or not, married girls having better fits,
  • The gun size (caliber and quantity per turret), the larger ones being the most constraining.
  • Some other less frequent factors:
    • The ship's remodel,
    • The ship's speed,
    • Whether it is a day or night battle.

Battleships (F)BB(V) Bonuses

Battleships receive accuracy   bonuses if the guns are fit and penalties if it is overweight[1].

  • The table shows an estimated accuracy fit bonus based on having one fit gun equipped.
  • For married ships, the overweight penalty is generally reduced by 40%:
    • E.g. a married Kongou with a 46 cm receives -6 instead of -10,
    • Some exceptions will receive a bonus instead of a penalty on certain guns after marriage.
  • If more than one gun of the same class is used, multiply the modifier by the square root of the number of guns:
    • E.g. a Kongou with two IJN 35.6 cm equipped receives √2 x 7 = 9.89.
  • If guns from different classes are used together, add the modifiers together.
    • E.g. a Kongou with 35.6 cm and 41 cm mixed receives 7 - 5 = 2.
    • Exceptions arise where different guns of the same class give different bonuses on certain ships, notably Gangut, with what happens when combining 30.5 cm and 35.6 cm is still under investigation.

More generally, the accuracy offset can be defined with the formula:

[math]\displaystyle{ W = \sum^{\text{All Classes}} \left ( C_{k} M_{k} \sqrt{N_{k}} \right ) \% }[/math]

With:

  • [math]\displaystyle{ W }[/math] the resulting fit bonus or overweight penalty
  • [math]\displaystyle{ C_{k} }[/math] the main coefficient of the equipped gun class. Refer to the above table for the coefficients applied to each Battleship for their respective guns.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ M_{k} }[/math] the marriage coefficient for the particular gun class. Assumes a value of 0.6 if the ship is married, and if the main coefficient is negative.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ N_{k} }[/math] the number of equipped guns for that gun class.

Native Guns

Since gun overweight penalty and fit bonuses are not yet all measured for some guns and ships, here is a list of the guns natively used/planned to be used in real life by each ship class.

  • The "Twin/Triple" mount distinction is made for convenience, triple guns being heavier than their twin counterpart.
  • Equipping ships with those guns may not always be optimal, but this should avoid most overweight penalties.

Certain destroyers receive some Accuracy   bonuses when equipped with certain guns or sonars.

  1. 2x base 5" Gun  on Fletcher-class gives ~10 accuracy. This is potentially a bug.
  2. Samuel B.Roberts does not seem to receive any bonus from base 5" Gun . This is possibly a bug (maybe related to the bug on Fletcher-class).
  3. There are not enough samples on more than one ASDICs
