Improving Ship Speed


Speed represents the speed of a ship. Ship are either slow (低速) or fast (高速) by default. As of the 10 Jan 2017 Update, ship speed can be further increased to fast+ (高速+) or fastest (最速) by using a combination of
Engine Improvements: a Turbine
with one or more Boilers
.
Overview
There are several effects of increasing ship speed:
- Meeting routing requirements.
- Fleet speed affect certain map routing.
- Combined Fleet composition:
- BB/BBV that are fast+ can be placed in the escort fleet of STF/TCF (only fast for Warspite Kai).
- Evasion increase.
- Although this has been stated by the developers to occur, testing has not shown any significant increase in evasion.
- Because Coastal Defense Ships (DE) cannot equip Engine Improvements, they are the only ship type that cannot be sped up.
Speed Change Charts
It is highly recommended to have a Reinforcement Expansion on ships that are sped up. Ships sped up without using a RE will have severely degraded combat efficiency.
So far, only 2 types of "boiler" exist in the game, and they are referred to as:
- Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler = +10 Boiler
- New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler = +13 Boiler
All synergies listed below already include 1 Improved Kanhon Type Turbine because it is an absolute requirement for speed ups.
