→Japanese ship-naming conventions: (not by me)
This occurs when a ship fires any equipped AA guns against planes. The flagship will always do this by default, even without any anti-air stat.

===Ships===
*'''Destroyers ''' were named after natural phenomena/weather, often snow (雪, "-yuki"), waves (波, "-nami"), rain (雨, "-ame", "-are"), wind (風, "-kaze"), clouds (雲, "-kumo" or "-gumo"), tides (潮, "-shio"), or the moon (月, "-tsuki" or "-zuki").

In modern days, some of those naming conventions are still in use in Japan, but applied to modern ship types.

===Tanks===
Tanks were given composed names using the following rules:
*1st name part, the type of tank:
**Light: Ke
**Medium: Chi
**Heavy: O
**Gun (Tank Destroyer): Ho
*2nd name part, the number of the tank within its type:
**1: I or Yi
**2: Ro
**3: Ha
**4: Ni
**5: Ho
**6: He
**7: To
**8: Chi
**9: Ri
**10: Nu
**11: Ru
**12: O or Wo
Using the medium tanks as an example:
*Chi-I (Medium First): None (most likely Experimental Type 1 Tank)
*Chi-Ro (Medium Second): Type 89 I-Go
*Chi-Ha (Medium Third): Type 97 Chi-Ha
*Chi-Ni (Medium Fourth): Type 97 Chi-Ni (never got out of prototype status)
