*This calculation does not take into account any anti-air weaponry equipped on ships. Carrier anti-air stat is also not considered.
*The percentage of planes shot down applies for both sides' respective outcomes, and is calculated per slot.
:*For example, securing Air Superiority means allied planes shoot down up to 80% of enemy planes, and the enemy under Air Incapability will shoot down up to 40%.
:*As this is applied per slot, 80% of one enemy bomber group can be shot down while a second has 0% shot down.
*[[Combat#Contact|Contact]] can be triggered by having at least 1 carrier scout plane, seaplane scout, and/or torpedo bomber equipped. It increases damage during the bombing phase depending on the accuracy bonus of the squad triggering Contact.
*Even if allied planes secure air supremacy, planes can still be lost (up to 10%), and the subsequent anti-air defense stage can eliminate more bombers.

=== Anti-Air Cut-In ===
[[File:Bandicam_2014-11-20_02-55-57-126.avi_snapshot_00.26_-2014.11.20_03.09.34-.jpg|thumb|An Anti-Air Cut-In]]
Certain equipment combinations will provide a chance for an Anti-Air Cut-In (AACI) during the aerial combat. When activated, the cut-in CG (shown on the right) would appear before engaging the enemy fighters, but does not appear to affect the resulting air control state (AS+, AS, Air Parity or Denial). Although there's currently no conclusion on how it's applied onto the [[Combat#Fleet_Anti-air_Defense|Fleet Anti-air Defense formula]], a general consensus suggests the effectiveness scales with the AA stat ({{AA}}) of the ship triggering it.
====Requirement====
* One of the following sets:
*# <u>Heavy Main Gun</u>{{Template:RedGunHeavy}}, <u>Type 3 Shell</u> {{GreenAmmo}}, plus <u>Anti-Aircraft Fire Director</u> '''(AAFD)''' {{AntiAircraftFireDirector}}
*#* ''Can be supplemented with an AA RADAR'' {{Radar}}
*#* Only available for BB(V)s due to Heavy Gun requirement.
*# <u>High-Angle mount</u> ([[List_of_Main_Guns_by_stats|main gun]] or [[List_of_Secondary_Guns_by_stats|secondary]]) {{GreenGunDP}} plus <u>'''AAFD'''</u>{{AntiAircraftFireDirector}}
*#* ''Can be supplemented with an AA RADAR'' {{Radar}}
*#* Achievable by any surface ship.
*# [[10cm Twin High-angle Mount + Anti-Aircraft Fire Director|'''<u>10cm Twin High-angle Mount + AAFD</u>''']] plus <u>AA RADAR</u>{{Radar}}
*#* ''Can be supplemented with an HA mount ''{{GreenGunDP}}'' or another 10cm Twin High-angle Mount + AAFD''
*#* Available to any ship capable of equipping a Light Main Gun.
*# [[25mm Triple Autocannon Mount (Concentrated Deployment)|'''<u>25mm Triple Autocannon Mount (Concentrated Deployment)</u>''']], [[List of Anti-Air Guns by stats|<u>AA Gun</u>]] (any) {{GreenGunMG}}, plus <u>AA RADAR</u> {{Radar}}
*#* Achievable by any surface ship.
*# Either [[12.7cm Twin High-angle Mount + Anti-Aircraft Fire Director|'''<u>12.7cm Twin High-angle Mount + AAFD</u>''']] or [[90mm Single High Angled Gun|'''<u>90mm Single High Angled Gun</u>''']], plus <u>AA RADAR</u> {{Radar}}
*#* ''Can be supplemented with an High-angle Mount + AAFD''
*#* As both 12.7cm Twin High-angle Mount + AAFD and 90mm Single High Angled Gun are considered secondary guns, only ships capable of equipping them may use this setup.
* '''[[Akizuki]]''' has a built-in AA fire director, which allows her to trigger AACI without an AAFD with the following setup
:* <u>High-Angle mount</u> (any) {{GreenGunDP}} plus either or both:
::* ''<u>RADAR</u> (any kind)'' {{Radar}}
::* ''<u>High-Angle mount</u> (any)'' {{GreenGunDP}}
*[[Maya|Maya Kai 2]] may trigger AACI with a unique setup:
:* [[25mm Triple Autocannon Mount (Concentrated Deployment)|'''<u>25mm Triple Autocannon Mount (Concentrated Deployment)</u>''']], plus <u>High-Angle mount</u> (any) {{GreenGunDP}}
::* ''Can be supplemented with an AA RADAR'' {{Radar}}
====Notes====
* [[10cm Twin High-angle Mount + Anti-Aircraft Fire Director|10cm Twin High-angle Mount + AAFD]], [[12.7cm Twin High-angle Mount + Anti-Aircraft Fire Director|12.7cm Twin High-angle Mount + AAFD]] and [[90mm Single High Angled Gun]] can substitute for a regular High-angle mount. Their built-in AAFD functions when paired with an AA RADAR.
* Slots otherwise empty can be equipped with anything else without disabling the Anti-Air Cut-In.
* A maximum of 1 ship will perform AACI per battle (regardless of how many ships are capable of doing so, or whether it is a [[Combined Fleet]] engagement), and due to AA stat of the ship performing the cut-in affecting the number of planes shot down, it may be desired to limit the number of ships with AACI setup.
* Successful enemy AACI will not display; typically, greater than normal losses of planes after a battle can be contributed to enemy AACI.
* Does not affect the determination of [[Combat#Fighter_Combat|Air Superiority]].
* Cannot shoot down pure enemy fighters, as usual.
====Effect====
* Provide an AoE blast on all the incoming enemy '''bombers''', from the ship who is triggering it.'' ([http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Reikyu/A_brief_look_at_AA_defense_and_AA_cut-in_performance source 1], [http://kankoregouchin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-41.html 2], ''[http://kankoregouchin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-43.html 3]'')''
====Trigger Chance====
* '''AA stat''' ({{AA}}) of the ship performing the cut-in (equipment bonuses included) affects trigger rate. The correlation seems to be about +0.4% trigger rate for every point of AA ? ''([http://kankoregouchin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-43.html source 1], [http://kankoregouchin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-41.html 2])''
* '''Air radars''' provide marginal bonuses on AACI:
:* For HA + AAFD setup, Air radar on CA does not increase the trigger chance on a large scale ??.'' ([http://kankoregouchin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-41.html source])''
:* Type 13 Air radar Kai on Akizuki (and other DDs?) increases the trigger chance by '''~10%'''. When AACI was activated, it also helps with shooting down more bombers. (''[http://kankoregouchin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-43.html source]'')
With an AA Cut-In from a ship with high AA stat ({{AA}}), it is possible to '''obliterate all incoming bombers''' before they inflict any damage, and even prevent opposing carriers from shelling since they have 0 bombers left.''' In PVP Exercises, opposing fleets can do AA Cut-Ins, but the animation is not shown.'''
There are reports that enemy ships in map [[World_6:_%E4%B8%AD%E9%83%A8%E6%B5%B7%E5%9F%9F#6-2|6-2]] ''might'' be capable of doing AACI. Other than that, there is currently no enemy ship capable to blast all your bombers with AA weapons.
===Fleet Anti-air Defense===
Each enemy bomber slot is assigned at random to a defending ship. Those ships then, for each assigned enemy slot, have an approximately 50% chance to shoot down enemy planes. The number of planes shot down is given by the equations below:
<center>
<math>\text{Shot Down} = \text{Floor((Ship AA } + \text{Floor(Fleet Anti-air} \times \text{Formation Modifier))} \times 0.2125\text{)}</math>, where <br><math>\text{Fleet Anti-air} = \text{Floor(} \sum^\text{All slots}\text{Equipment AA Bonus} \times \text{Equipment Modifier)}</math>
</center>
The "Fleet Anti-Air" bonus is the sum of every equipment slot of every ship in the fleet (including the defending ship).
