  • The modifiers are post-cap on day battle, and pre-cap on night battle.
  • The equipment bonuses do not stack further than 1 radar and/or 1 AP shell per ship.
    • Only ships equipped with those equipment will get a bonus for their attack(s).

  • Both ships involved consume additional ammunition when triggered:
Fleet type Triggering type Additional ammo consumption
Single Day battle (no night battle) 10 %
Day battle (with night battle) 15 %
Night battle (after day battle) 15 %
Night battle Node 5 %

The touch:

  • Can be triggered even if artillery spotting fails to activate.
  • Can only be activated once per sortie.
  • Has a chance to trigger every time the flagship takes a turn at shelling.
    • In single fleet, if it fails to trigger in day battle, there is a chance to trigger it in the follow-up night battle.
  • The attack CANNOT trigger in CTF versus a single fleet.
  • The rate is probably:
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate}\text{%} = \Biggl\lfloor \sqrt{\text{Lv}_\text{FS}} + \sqrt{\text{Lv}_\text{2nd}} + \sqrt{\text{Luck}_\text{FS}} + \sqrt{\text{Luck}_\text{2nd}} + \text{X} + \text{Y} \Biggr\rfloor }[/math]

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv}_\text{FS} }[/math] the flagship's Level,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv}_\text{2nd} }[/math] the 2nd ship's Level,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck}_\text{FS} }[/math] the flagship's Luck Luck,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck}_\text{2nd} }[/math] the 2nd ship's Luck Luck,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{X} }[/math] some yet unknown bonus variables,
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Y} }[/math] some yet unknown base rate.
