| |
| − | * Get at least 6 [[10cm Twin High-angle Mount + Anti-Aircraft Fire Director]] to max.
| |
| − | * Ideally you should have around 14 [[20.3cm(no.3) Twin Gun Mount]] but 8 is a good number to start off with. You can round out the numbers of 20.3cm guns with [[8inch Triple Gun Mount Mk.9]] and [[8inch Triple Gun Mount Mk.9 mod.2]] if you have them.
| |
| − | * The 35.6 and 41 prototypes are not the best battleship guns but they are cheap and useful across many different battleships. Upgrade about 4 each but you can lower their priority as you get other, better guns.
| |
| − | * You can effectively use a maximum of 9 [[12cm 30 Tube Rocket Launcher Kai 2]] at one time. You can get away with 2 to start off with.
| |
| − | * The [[Type 91 Anti-Aircraft Fire Director]] is currently the best thing to put in reinforcement expansions if you're not otherwise using lookouts for cut-in boosts or Rocket Kai Nis for airstrike immunity. It provides bonuses to firepower, torpedo and fleet AA.
| |
| − | * Start off with upgrading 4 Quad torpedoes then focus on Quintuples as you get them. You'll want at least 12 torpedoes.
| |
| − | * The Iwamoto is currently the best fighter in the game. You should upgrade it at your earliest opportunity.
| |
| − | * It is important to have at least 8 seaplane fighters.
| |
| − | * The SONAR upgrades aren't that important from an ASW standpoint, but SONAR Conversion to [[Type 4 SONAR]] can help reach OASW thresholds.
| |
| − | * AP Shells are incredibly important for your battleships and you should be aiming to get 4.
| |
| − | * The Ka-Mi tank is the best all rounder against installations. While it's best that you match the number of special landing craft (T89, 11th Division, M4A1), getting 4 to start will be good.
| |
| − | * Upgrading the searchlight will decrease enemy CI chance and give bonus firepower. Important for night battle.

| − | * The [[12.7cm Twin Mount Type-C Kai 2]] has fit bonuses across a wide variety of destroyers, making it one of the more useful main guns. Keep at least 6 of these.
| |
| − | * You'll want to upgrade [[8inch Triple Gun Mount Mk.9]] into [[8inch Triple Gun Mount Mk.9 mod.2]] then max the latter. It is currently the most powerful cruiser gun and can be complemented with the 20.3n3 to get the night battle accuracy bonus. Try to match
| |
| − | * The battleship guns listed below are luxuries but very useful if you can spare the resources to upgrade them.
| |
| − | * Both the late model torpedoes may have less raw torpedo power than a Quintuple but they have fit bonuses on certain destroyers that make them useful. Note that the fit bonus increases once the torpedoes are maxed.
| |
| − | * The [[Type 98 Recon Seaplane (Night Scout)]] is upgraded purely for the bonus LoS. You can ignore this recommendation if you feel you aren't struggling to hit LoS requirements.
| |
| − | * The [[Type 1 Fighter Hayabusa Model III A]] is currently the best interceptor outside of events or quests.It also doubles as the best common 6 Range LBAS Fighter. You'll want to upgrade enough to fill out your LBAS slots in order to meet base defense unlock requirements in events.
| |
| − | * Upgrade enough [[Daihatsu-class Landing Craft (Type 89 Medium Tanks & Marines)]] to pair with your Ka-Mi tanks.
| |
| − | * The [[Type 96 150cm Searchlight]] functions like the basic searchlight but with better effects. It is less important because fewer ship girls can equip it.

| − | * Much like the 12.7Ck2, the [[12.7cm Twin Mount Type-D Kai 2]] provides some nice fit bonuses to destroyers. Unlike the C-type, it doesn't work with Shiratsuyu and Asashio-classes.
| |
| − | * While the [[12.7cm Twin Mount Type-B Kai 4 (Wartime Modifications) + Anti-Aircraft Fire Director]] is better than the Akizuki 10cm, it is also rare and expensive. You should upgrade it when you get the chance.
| |
| − | * Although weaker than the Akizuki 10cm and the 12.7Bk4, the [[12.7cm Twin Mount Type-A Kai 3 (Wartime Modifications) + Anti-Aircraft Fire Director]] is easier to obtain. They can be useful to fill out your destroyer gun lineup if you don't have enough of the two former ones.
| |
| − | * The [[Type 3 Shell]] and [[Shipborne Model Type 4 20cm Anti-ground Rocket Launcher]] are both important anti-installation equipment. Ideally you should have a pair of each at their advanced versions.

| |
| − | * While the [[16in Triple Gun Mount Mk.7 + GFCS]], [[Prototype 51cm Twin Gun Mount]], and [[51cm Twin Gun Mount]] are great guns, the cost far outweighs the benefits. It would be a good idea to +1 them as a high priority though.
| |
| − | * You'll want to upgrade torpedo bombers into night bombers to complement your night fighters. Don't bother if you don't have enough night fighters.
| |
| − | * Both the [[Zuiun Model 12 (634 Air Group)]] and [[Zuiun Kai Ni (634 Air Group)]] are currently the best seaplane bombers. Getting them to their skilled versions is a good idea. They have shootdown resistance and function like fighter/bombers.
| |
| − | * Getting the [[Prototype Keiun]] to it's jet fighter/bomber version will open up more options for you.
| |
| − | * Depth charges aren't really important to upgrade but do it if you need the extra ASW power.

| − | * Upgrades on the [[OTO 152mm Triple Rapid Gun Mount]] can be useful if your ship girls are expected to fight under air denial or incapability.
| |
| − | * Upgrading the [[Type 0 Observation Seaplane]] is only necessary if you find that you're struggling to meet LoS requirements.
| |
| − | * You'll only want 1-2 autogyro/helicopters. Their main purpose is to allow [[Hyuuga|Hyuuga Kai Ni]] to OASW.
| |
| − | * As with the T3DC, upgrading depth charges is not terribly important. The [[Type 2 Depth Charge]] benefits from having a small armor-piercing ability and the mortars can double up as anti-installation equipment.
