Partials/Speed system

See full page: Improving Ship Speed

Ship's speed can take the following values:

  • Slow (低速)
  • Fast (高速)
  • Fast+ (高速+)
  • Fastest (最速)

A ship is either slow or fast natively, the speed can be increased (from slow to fast to fast+ to fastest) using the engine synergy, by equipping a turbineImproved Kanhon Type Turbine (can be equipped in the expansion slotReinforcement Expansion) and one or more boilers (Enhanced Kanhon Type BoilerEnhanced Kanhon Type Boiler and New Model High Temperature High Pressure BoilerNew Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler) on a ship.

  • As some branching rules are affected by speed, speeding up a fleet can make it follow a different routing.
    • Note, however, that this doesn't change ship types, initially slow BB and BBV (ship types 9 and 10) can have fast speed, but still aren't FBB (ship type 8).
  • BB/BBV that are fast+ can be placed in the escort fleet of STF/TCF (only fast for Warspite Kai).
  • Devs claim that higher speed values increase evasion. However, its magnitude/scope/existence is still investigated by players (preliminary tests suggest that there is no significant increase in evasion[1][2]).
