'''Line of Sight''' (LoS) is a stat that will indirectly affect several mechanics, being:
* [[#Effective Line of Sight|Effective Line of Sight]] for map [[routing]],
* [[#Detection|Detection]] success rate,
* [[#Contact|Contact]] trigger rate, for airstrike damage,
* [[#LBAS LoS|Reconnaissance Defense Bonus]] for LBAS Defense Fighter-Power,
* [[#Artillery Spotting|Artillery Spotting]] trigger rate.
For details on the LoS {{LOS}} stat, please see [[Stats#Line of Sight|Stats]].
For details on the LoS {{LOS}} stat growth please see ''[[Stats#Stat Growth|Stats]]''.
=Effective Line of Sight=
"'''Effective Line of Sight'''" (ELoS, also called "Fleet LoS") is the Line of Sight (LoS) that affect certain maps' [[routing]]. Certain branching requirements in sorties are affected by the LoS of the entire fleet, this total LoS following unintuitive behaviors.
*As a general rule: '''equipment LoS is more impactful than ship LoS''' when determining ELoS.

Formula 33, sometimes referred to as F33 is the most accurate "Fleet LoS" calculation formula known. It is described as follows<ref>http://ja.kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/%E3%83%9E%E3%83%83%E3%83%97%E7%B4%A2%E6%95%B5</ref>:

In [[events]], LoS cheks are also performed following the same rules, but will additionally vary with difficulties, higher difficulties recruiting higher LoS.

===FAQ===
'''Q: Why do I keep getting offrouted?'''
'''A:''' Double check that your fleet LoS according to relevant formula meets the LoS threshold for the map. Viewers such as KanColle Command Center Kai, Poi Viewer, KCANotify, KanColle Viewer and Electronic Observer can calculate your fleet's LoS easily for you.
'''Q: How do I increase my LoS?'''
'''A:''' Reconnaissance seaplanes are the fastest way to raise LoS. The other easy way is to stack radars. Upgrades to reconnaissance seaplanes are also a good way to increase LoS when slots are limited. It is not recommended to stack carrier-based recons or seaplane bombers because too many can compromise the combat ability of your fleet.
Another way is to level your ships. Because LoS increases as you level, marrying your ships means their LoS stat can go even higher.
'''Q: I had enough LoS, how did I get off routed?'''
'''A:''' Planes that are wiped out no longer contribute to LoS. If you were depending on bombers to hit the LoS threshold, you can fall under the threshold when encountering heavy enemy anti-air.

=Detection=
{{details|Detection}}
At the start of any [[Day Battle]], "detection" will be attempted by the fleet. Detection is required to take part in the [[Aerial Combat]] phase.
Only the Ship's LoS and the LoS from the participating planes is taken into account for the trigger rate:
* {{Carrier Recon}}{{Large Recon}} [[Carrier Recon]]s,
* {{SPR}}/{{Night Recon}} [[Seaplane Recon]]s,
* {{SPB}}/{{Night SPB}} [[Seaplane Bomber]]s,
* {{LFB}} {{Equipment/Link|Type 2 Large Flying Boat|PBY-5A Catalina|text=Large Flying Boats|link_category=Large Flying Boat}}.
=Contact=
{{details|Contact}}
At the start of any [[Airstrike]] phase, "contact" may be triggered, increasing the airstrike power if triggered.
Only the LoS from the participating planes is taken into account for the trigger rate:
* {{Carrier Recon}}{{Large Recon}} [[Carrier Recon]]s,
* {{SPR}}/{{Night Recon}} [[Seaplane Recon]]s,
* {{LFB}} {{Equipment/Link|Type 2 Large Flying Boat|PBY-5A Catalina|text=Large Flying Boats|link_category=Large Flying Boats}},
* {{Torpedo Bomber}}/{{Night Torpedo Bomber}} [[Torpedo Bomber]]s.

Unlike ship mechanics, [[LBAS]] do not need/utilize the LoS stat and so this stat is mostly useless.

Artillery Spotting attacks require the use of recons/bombers.
