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

* ONLY Recon planes' LOS values are doubled. LOS from attack planes (red & blue) are not doubled, but in fact square rooted. Do not double your attack planes LOS value when making LOS calculation.
* ''You know you fulfilled the LoS requirement if you see a short animation with a seaplane flying to the node and back to your ship icon, plus the flagship's image appearing on-screen. Otherwise, you will be diverted off-course without the animation playing.''

* There are many player reports where players of similar HQ levels have differing effective LoS requirements. This hints to a '''<u>''possibility''</u>''' that effective LoS '''<u>scales to level.</u> Do not be surprised if you level up or reach the next HQ bracket (e.g. HQ lvl 60-99) and fail to reach boss node when you just reached boss node the previous sortie.'''
