In certain maps, ~~you are able~~ to ~~access~~ support expeditions to help ~~you~~ during battles. These expeditions are deployed like normal resource expeditions and have a chance of appearing at certain nodes and at the boss.

+

In certain maps, it is possible to call support expeditions to help the fleet during battles. These expeditions are deployed like normal resource expeditions and have a chance of appearing at certain nodes and at the boss.

Currently these are only available in World 5 and events.

−

1. Areas ~~which~~ have support expeditions available for use have support expeditions listed under the expedition tab for the corresponding area. For a list of support expeditions, please [[Support_Expedition#Expedition_List|see below]].

#Areas that have support expeditions available for use have support expeditions listed under the expedition tab for the corresponding area. For a list of support expeditions, please [[Support_Expedition#Expedition_List|see below]].

−

+

#The type of support fleet that appears depends on the composition of the fleet. Please see the [[Support_Expedition#Support_Types|various support types]] for more details.

−

2. The type of support fleet that appears depends on the composition of the fleet. Please see the [[Support_Expedition#Support_Types|various support types]] for more details.

+

#The sortie fleet must encounter an eligible node '''before the support expedition timer runs out''' in order for support to appear.

−

+

#* If the timer runs out, support fleets will not appear.

−

3. The sortie fleet must encounter an eligible node '''before the support expedition timer runs out''' in order for support to appear.

+

#Shelling and torpedo support can '''appear in night or day nodes''' but airstrike and ASW support can '''only appear in day nodes'''.

−

* If the timer runs out, support fleets will not appear.

+

#* No support will appear in air raids, air battles, or radar ambush nodes.

−

+

#The support fleet will appear after the [[Aerial Combat]] phase during day battles.

−

4. Shelling and torpedo support can '''appear in night or day nodes''' but airstrike and ASW support can '''only appear in day nodes'''.

+

#* The exception are night-day nodes where airstrike/ASW support arrives after [[LBAS]] but before [[Aerial Combat]].

−

* No support will appear in air raids, air ~~battle~~ or ~~RADAR~~ ambush nodes.

+

#The damage cap for support is '''170''' for all cases.

−

+

#* This means that even if support shows up in night battle, it does not get advantage of the 360 damage cap.

−

5. The support fleet will appear after the [[Aerial Combat]] phase during day battles.

+

#* The cap during '''head-on engagement''' is 212.

−

* The exception are night-day nodes where airstrike/ASW support arrives after [[LBAS]] but before [[Aerial Combat]].

+

#Only '''visible stats''' are taken into account.

−

+

#* This means any hidden modifiers from upgrades or gun fit are ignored.

−

6. The damage cap for support is '''170''' for all cases.

+

#When the sortie fleet returns, the support fleets will return as well.

−

* This means that even if support shows up in night battle, it does not get advantage of the 360 damage cap.

+

#* They will return regardless of if they have performed any support attacks.

−

* The cap during '''head-on engagement''' is 212.

+

#* The timer must be waited to expire like normal expeditions.

−

+

#Support expeditions will always require resupplying '''regardless of if they have performed a support attack'''.

−

7. Only '''visible stats''' are taken into account.

+

#Instead of the normal 3 morale reduction for normal expeditions, the cost for support expeditions vary.

−

* This means any hidden modifiers from upgrades or gun fit are ignored.

+

#* Node support: 1-5

−

+

#* Boss support: 1-10

−

8. When the sortie fleet returns, the support fleets will return as well.

+

#The resource cost is '''rounded up''' instead of down.

−

* They will return regardless of if they have performed any support attacks.

−

* ~~You do not have to wait for the~~ timer to expire like normal expeditions.

−

9. Support expeditions will always require resupplying '''regardless of if they have performed a support attack'''.

−

~~10.~~ Instead of the normal 3 morale reduction for normal expeditions, the cost for support expeditions vary.

−

* Node support: 1-5

−

* Boss support: 1-10

−

~~11.~~ The resource cost is '''rounded up''' instead of down.

===Trigger Rate===

−

The trigger rate differs between node support and boss support.

−

<math>\text{Node %} = 51 + \text{Mod}_\text{flag} + 5 \times \text{N}_\text{escort}</math>

−

<math>\text{Boss %} = 86 + \text{Mod}_\text{flag} + 5 \times \text{N}_\text{escort}</math>

−

* <math>\text{Mod}_\text{flag}</math> is the '''sparkled flagship bonus''' of <math>15</math>.

Line 55: Line 41:

'''Important Notes'''

* The flagship affects trigger rate disproportionately.

−

** Always place a sparkled ship as ~~the~~ flagship ~~if you do not have the time to sparkle the rest of the fleet~~.

+

** Always place a sparkled ship as flagship.

* The maximum chance for node support to trigger is '''91%''' and the lowest is '''51%'''.

−

** It is recommended ~~that you~~ sparkle all the ships for node support in order to get the maximum trigger chance.

+

** It is recommended to sparkle all the ships for node support in order to get the maximum trigger chance.

* Boss support can reach '''100%''' trigger chance with only the flagship sparkled.

−

** It is recommended ~~that you~~ at least sparkle the four heavy hitters in order to ~~maximise~~ accuracy.

~~'''Trigger Requirements'''~~

+

Meet '''all''' of the following requirements:

−

Meet '''all'' of the following requirements:

* 1 or more FBB/BB/BBV/CA/CAV in the fleet.

* Not more than 1 CVL/CV/CVB/AV/LHA.

* 2 or more FBB/BB/BBV '''OR''' 4 CA/CAV

−

'''Recommended Composition'''

* 3BB, 1CV, 2DD

−

'''Details'''

Line 188: Line 168:

* Basic attack power is calculated in the same way as normal for [[Damage_Calculations#Surface_Shelling|surface ships]] and [[Damage_Calculations#Carrier Attacks|carriers]] except that '''firepower is reduced by 1'''.

* [[Hayasui]] uses the surface shelling formula instead of the carrier attack formula for support even when equipped with torpedo bombers.

−

'''Important Notes'''

Line 195: Line 174:

* It costs the most out of all the support types.

** This is due to the requirements for battleships and heavy cruisers.

−

** ~~You~~ can ~~control costs~~ by using cheaper battleships and light carriers but '''it is not recommended to use heavy cruisers'''.

+

** Costs can be controlled by using cheaper battleships and light carriers but '''it is not recommended to use heavy cruisers'''.

* Try to aim for 147 displayed firepower on battleships to meet the parallel cap (184 for head-on).

−

* For carriers, ~~you need~~ 52 displayed firepower to meet the parallel cap with a single 10{{Dive}} plane (77 for head-on).

+

* For carriers, 52 displayed firepower is needed to meet the parallel cap with a single 10{{Dive}} plane (77 for head-on).

==Airstrike Support==

−

Airstrike support functions much like a normal airstrike with a few major differences as detailed below.

−

'''Trigger Requirements'''

Line 251: Line 227:

* 1 or more CVL/CV/CVB/AV/LHA and no FBB/BB/BBV/CA/CAV.

* 2 or more BBV/CAV/AV/LHA/AO and no FBB/BB/CA.

* 4CV, 2DD

'''Details'''

Line 262: Line 236:

* The attack will go through the normal [[Aerial Combat]] phases.

** This means that damage can be reduced by plane losses through the air control and anti-air fire phases.

−

** Planes in airstrike support appear to have some shoot down resistance that helps them survive anti-air fire.

+

** Planes in airstrike support appear to have some shoot-down resistance that helps them survive anti-air fire.

** Enemy ships sunk in earlier combat phases '''are still counted''' towards contesting air control for airstrike support.

*** But the required fighter power for obtaining air control is reduced by planes lost in earlier air control phases.

* Airstrike support '''costs bauxite''' on top of the normal resupply costs because lost planes need to be resupplied.

* Taking jets on airstrike support still costs steel but does not trigger a jet assault phase.

−

* Ships ~~which~~ cannot launch bombers '''will not participate in airstrike support'''.

+

* Ships that cannot launch bombers '''will not participate in airstrike support'''.

* Though the standard cost of airstrike support is 40% ammo, this only applies if '''there are 3 or more CVL/CV/CVB/AV''' in the fleet. Support will cost 80% ammo otherwise.

* Only visible stats are considered for airstrike support.

Line 286: Line 260:

* It does not appear in night battle nodes.

** But does appear in night-day nodes once the battle shifts to day.

−

'''Important Notes'''

−

* This support is useful for dealing with multiple lightly ~~armoured~~ ships or for racking up chip damage on high HP, high ~~armour~~ enemies.
