| + | The {{EnemyLink|Supply Depot Princess C Vacation Mode}} are classified as [[Combat/Anti-Installation#Installation-like warships|Installation-like warships]] and not regular [[Installation]]s |
| + | *She can now be hit by any regular surface-type attacks, such as torpedo-based ones. |
| + | *Using anti-installation equipment like Landing Craft will inflict additional post-cap damage. |
| + | *During the day battle phase it is difficult to damage her with Landing Crafts only. |
| + | *During the night battle phase using Landing Crafts on ships equipped with a TCI or a DA is very effective. |
| + | **For these ships it is important to have high firepower {{Firepower}} and high torpedo-power {{Torpedo}} for better night attack effectiveness. |
| + | |
| + | *Torpedo Cut-Ins {{TorpedoWeapon}}{{TorpedoWeapon}}{{LandingCraft}}/{{TorpedoWeapon}}{{TorpedoWeapon}}{{Amphibious Tank}} can deal 1000 to 1500 damage to her. |
| + | *Double Attacks of a 4-slot ships can deal 1000 to 2000 damage to her. |
| + | **[[Mogami Kai Ni Toku]] with {{RedGunMedium}}{{LandingCraft}}{{LandingCraft}}{{Amphibious Tank}}+{{GreenGunDP}} can deal 3000 to 4000 damage to her with her DA. |
| + | |
| + | '''See ''[[Combat/Anti-Installation#Installation-like warships|here]]'' for the equipment bonus table.''' |
| + | |
| + | On Hard the first step is to reduce the HP of SDH-C-vac to near 4000 until the day-closing torpedo phase. After that she can be sunk by those special night attacks. |
