Added new formula for Effective LoS
* '''Effective LoS''', which allows the fleet to reach a specific node (usually a pre-boss or boss node) instead of being diverted to a dead end. Effective LoS is employed in special maps, such as [[Events|event maps]] and extra operations maps ([http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/World_2:_%E5%8D%97%E8%A5%BF%E8%AB%B8%E5%B3%B6%E6%B5%B7%E5%9F%9F#Stage_Guide_2 2-5], [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/World_3:_%E5%8C%97%E6%96%B9%E6%B5%B7%E5%9F%9F#World_3-5_.E3.80.90Extra_Operation.E3.80.91_.E5.8C.97.E6.96.B9AL.E6.B5.B7.E5.9F.9F_Aleutian_Islands_Campaign 3-5]).

* Effective LoS = Recon LoS×2 ＋ Radar LoS ＋ √(Fleet total LoS - Recon LoS - Radar LoS). This is the formula used since Spring 2014 event; in 2-5, 3-5 boss node, and any node with the seaplane-searching animation.

* '''Due to the formula, recon planes will contribute more to effective LoS than radars. For the purposes of fulfilling effective LoS, avoid using radars that do not give at least +10 LoS. '''

During the Summer 2014 event, there were many player reports where players of similar HQ levels have differing effective LoS requirements, leading to confusion among many players. This hinted to a ''possibility'' that effective LoS scales to level. Do not be surprised if you level up or reach the next HQ bracket (e.g. HQ lvl 60-99, 100+) and fail to reach boss node when you did reach the node the previous sortie.

With the advent of the 2014 Fall Event a new formula for Effective LoS has been devised to account for inconsistencies of the old formula. ([http://wikiwiki.jp/kancolle/?%C6%EE%C0%BE%BD%F4%C5%E7%B3%A4%B0%E8#area5 Source 1]) ([http://ch.nicovideo.jp/biikame/blomaga/ar663428 Source 2])
* Effective LoS = Dive Bomber LoS x (1.04) + Torpedo Bomber LoS x (1.37) + Carrier-based Recon Plane LoS x (1.66) + Recon Seaplane LoS x (2.00) + Seaplane Bomber LoS x (1.78) + Small Radar LoS x (1.00) + Large Radar LoS x (0.99) + Searchlight LoS x (0.91) + √(base LoS of each ship) x (1.69) + (HQ Lv. rounded up to the next multiple of 5) x (-0.61)
* √(base LoS of each ship) x (1.69) = Calculate the square root of each ship's LoS (base value without any equipment) separately, then add the values together and multiply by 1.69
* Regarding the HQ Level: For example, if your HQ Lv. is 101~105, use 105. If it's 106~110, use 110. And so on.
