When a ship is carrying an attack, the target will be a random "valid" opponent.
When a ship is carrying an attack, the target will be a '''"random valid opponent"'''.
<math>\text{Target}_\text{Chance %} = \Big( \frac{100}{N_\text{V}} \times \text{Mod}_\text{Vanguard} \times \text{Mod}_\text{Amagiri} + \text{Mod}_\text{SL} \Big) \times \text{Mod}_\text{FS} \times \text{Mod}_\text{FSP}</math>
In a theoretical situation, the rate is therefore:

*<math>N_\text{V}</math> the number of valid opponents: enemies that are not sunk or [[Evacuation|evacuated]], and that can be targeted by the upcoming attack.
*<math>N_\text{V}</math> the number of "valid opponents": enemies that are not sunk or [[Evacuation|evacuated]], and that can be targeted by the upcoming attack.
**Especially, if submarines are present in the opposing fleet and the ship can attack them, N is the number of submarines, else, N is the number of valid targets, which now excludes submarines (''see [[#Submarines|below]]),
**Especially, if [[#Submarines]] are present in the opposing fleet and the ship can attack them, N is the number of submarines, else, N is the number of valid targets, which now excludes submarines (''see [[#Submarines|below]]),
**[[#Installations]] may also affect the validity of the target in some situations.
**It is '''1''' if the ship is not the flagship, or if no "valid protectors" are left in the fleet.
*For a vs 6 combat, an attack will target opponents with a 1/6 = 16.67 % chance.
*For a vs 6 combat, an attack will target opponents with a 1/6 = 16.67 % chance.
Do note that this bare targeting rate will be more or less affected by thee following factors:
#[[#Flagship Protection]], lowering the chance of the flagship to be targeted, at the cost of an increased chance for the ships that will protect it.
#*Only "valid protectors" can protect the flagship, and so if none are present, this flagship protection cannot be activated.
#*The intensity of this effect will depend on the formation.
#[[#Searchlights]] will play a similar role as flagship protection, with an inversed logic.
#[[#Vanguard Formation]] have additional modifiers for both its "Upper Half" and "Bottom Half"
#[[#PT Imp]]s have unique modifiers applied when {{Ship/Link|Amagiri/Kai Ni|Amagiri/Kai Ni D|text=Amagiri Kai Ni/D}} is present.
#[[#Combined Fleets]] use different rules depending on the combat phase.

#[[#Friendly Fleets]] have different rules, avoiding targeting the enemy flagship.

Both [[Opening Torpedo Salvo]]s and [[Closing Torpedo Salvo]]s '''cannot''' target installations.
Both [[Opening Torpedo Salvo]]s and [[Closing Torpedo Salvo]]s '''cannot''' target installations.
* Opening and closing torpedoes will fail to trigger if only installation targets remain.
* Opening and closing torpedoes will fail to trigger if only installation targets remain.
==Flagship Protection==
'''Flagship Protection''' is when a non-flagship protects the flagship from being targeted by receiving the attack instead. When activated, a "curved shield" animation plays in front of the flagship's banner.
* Activation rate is determined solely by the selected formation. If activated, a ship with HP above Minor Damage ({{lang|ja|小破}}) is randomly selected to be the protector.
** If no ships are above Minor Damage, flagship protection cannot activate.
** Having more ships above Minor Damage does not increase the rate.
* It may activate on any type of attack, including shelling, torpedo, ASW, airstrike, and support.
* Submarines do not protect surface ships and surface ships do not protect submarines.
* [[Installation]]s cannot perform protection, and cannot receive protection if they are flagship.

===Combined Fleets FP===
In [[Combined Fleet]]s:
*During '''day battles''', only the main fleet flagship receives flagship protection.
**The escort's flagship does not receive flagship protection and is counted as a "protector".
**Depending on the phase, either the main fleet or both fleets can protect the flagship, see [[#Combined Fleets|below]].
*During '''night battles''', the escort's flagship does receive flagship protection,
**Up to 5 ships can protect the flagship in this case.
Combined Fleets follow the following rates:
