The following sections describe my method of rating each individual ship, factoring in a number of different categories.<br/>
==Methodology==
+
To some degree, this allows a direct, numerical, more objective approach for comparing each ship.<br/>
Just how much more important one stat is than another is hard to determine, especially when considering different map scenarios that could strongly encourage one stat over another.<br/>
+
While comparisons between ships of different classes ''can'' be made, it's generally most useful for comparing ships of the same class.<br/>
However, the overall rating of a ship could be estimated with some (somewhat) basic math.<br/>
+
Although this will likely never be completely accurate, values and multipliers can be easily tweaked and the results can be easily updated.<br/>
Each ship class is separated into their basic classes instead of separately, as most sub-classes perform largely similar roles (such as CA & CAV under the CA umbrella).abilities/traits that differ from the norm of their class.
+
I'm always looking for feedback, especially in tuning the various values, so feel free to PM me with feedback & reasoning wherever you can find me.
Every ship is scored based on its stats, special attributes/abilities, and class.<br/>
+
* Specific categories I'm most looking for feedback in:
* These small differences are instead handled by awarding points to each ship based on special
+
** Scores of specific ships (should they be higher/lower)
** For example, CAVs and Zara/Pola get bonus points for the ability to carry Seaplane Fighters.
+
** Stat/Stat Cluster multipliers
* Each class also might place more or less importance on an individual stat.<br/>
+
** Stretch/Compress multipliers
** With this in mind, each stat/ship class combination can receive a scaling modifier via a stretch/compress multiplier to each stat on a class-by-class basis.<br/>
+
** Special Abilities & Traits values
 
+
** New Special Abilities or Traits
===Averages===
+
** More descriptions/an explanation of a specific area
Each basic class has its stats averaged across the entire class, using the stats from each ships' final remodel.<br/>
+
{{User:Memetails/Ship Rating System}}
* Special versions of the same ship are factored in separately from each other.
  −
** For example, Kaga Kai Ni and Kaga Kai Ni Go both apply separately to the overall average.
  −
 
  −
===Stretch/Compress===
  −
Each basic class also has a stretch/compress multiplier based on an estimation of how important an individual stat is to that class of ship.
  −
* In most cases, stretch/compress values remain at '1' due to being universally important and/or there is enough variety between individuals to already have meaningful differences
  −
** A value <1 indicates a 'Stretch', meaning the stat is '''less''' valuable
  −
** A value >1 indicates a 'Compression', meaning the stat is '''more''' valuable
  −
* Exceptions:
  −
** Fuel & Ammo
  −
*** No scalar multiplier
  −
*** Instead, they have additive modifiers to the StdDev for each class
  −
** '''Ignored:''' HP, Luck, LuckMax
  −
 
  −
===Standard Deviation===
  −
The Stretch/Compress value is applied (via multiplication) to the Standard Deviation of each respective stat for each respective class.<br/>
  −
This Standard Deviation value denotes how wide a standard 'step' is from the average for the class which directly factors into the rating clusters.<br/>
  −
 
  −
The following table displays the Averages, Standard Deviations, and Stretch/Compress values for each class.<br/>
  −
{{User:Memetails/Averages Deviation and StretchCompress}}
  −
 
  −
===Stat Evaluation Clusters===
  −
Using the above values, each individual ship is evaluated into clusters based on their stats.
  −
The math & clusters are as follows:
  −
{| class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed wikitable typography-xl-optout" style="width: -moz-max-content; width: -webkit-max-content; width: max-content; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; "
  −
|-
  −
! Cluster
  −
! '''DistanceFromAvg''' = ShipStat - ClassAvg
  −
|-
  −
! Insane:
  −
|> 2 * (StdDev * Stretch)
  −
|-
  −
! Outstanding:
  −
|> 1 * (StdDev * Stretch)
  −
|-
  −
! High:
  −
|> 0.5 * (StdDev * Stretch)
  −
|-
  −
! Normal:
  −
|< 0.5 * (StdDev * Stretch) '''&''' > -2 * (StdDev * Stretch)
  −
|-
  −
! Low:
  −
|< -2 * (StdDev * Stretch)
  −
|-
  −
! Bad:
  −
|< -3 * (StdDev * Stretch)
  −
|-
  −
! Terrible:
  −
|< -4 * (StdDev * Stretch)
  −
|-
  −
| colspan="2"; style="text-align: left;"| Note: 'Stretch' refers to both Stretch & Compress
  −
Clustering Exceptions:
  −
* Fuel & Ammo: Additive Stretch/Compress instead of multiplicative, table is basically inverted due to lower = better
  −
* Luck & LuckMax: Set values shared across all classes.
  −
**Insane/Outstanding/High/Normal/Low/Bad/Terrible = > 50/35/25/10/5/0/NA
  −
* HP: Instead based on 'good/bad' values via the overkill mechanic, such as %4, %6, %12, %4-1, etc.

===Stat & Rating Multipliers===
  −
Each stat is assigned a numerical multiplier based on an estimation of total value/importance.<br/>
  −
Each cluster is also assigned a numerical multiplier based on an estimate of how good or bad being in that cluster is.<br/>
  −
These 2 values are then multiplied together, resulting in the following table:
  −
{{User:Memetails/Stat & Rating Multipliers}}
  −
For example:
  −
* Firepower is generally more important than LoS: '''Firepower > LoS'''
  −
* Night power is generally more important than Firepower: '''Night > Firepower'''
  −
* It can be concluded then that: '''Night > Firepower > LoS'''
  −
* The 'Normal' cluster is left out of the table as it has a value of 0, being neither good nor bad
  −
Using this table, each ship can then add together the value for each stat/cluster combination it's part of to calculate the overall "Stat" rating.
  −
 
  −
===Special Abilities & Traits===
  −
Individual ships can differ widely in usefulness due to special abilities or other attributes.<br/>
  −
These can range from extra slots to special AACIs, speed differences, Touch mechanics, special equipment, or even extra range (which can be both good or bad).<br/>
  −
As each of these traits is generally similarly felt across all classes, these are given flat values added to each ships' total "Bonus" rating.<br/>
  −
{{User:Memetails/Specialty Bonus Values}}
  −
 
  −
===Other Bonuses===
  −
Additionally, each ship can be awarded bonus points based on the number of ships that exist in that particular class.<br/>
  −
* For example, Akashi, the only Repair Ship, receives a large number of extra points in comparison to a Destroyer, which have over 100 ships in their class.
  −
* The bonus points are calculated as: <math> \text{Bonus Points} = \log_{NumOfShipsInClass + 1} ( TotalNumberOfShips / NumberOfShipsInClass )</math>
  −
 
  −
===Results===
  −
The following table is the final results for my fleet.<br/>
  −
{{User:Memetails/Ship Rating Results}}
  −
Notes:
  −
* '''Included:''' Modernization for HP/ASW/Luck
  −
* Marriage
  −
** '''Excluded:''' Stat gains for LoS/ASW/Eva
  −
** '''Excluded:''' Reduced consumption of Fuel/Ammo
  −
** '''Included:''' Extra HP & Luck
