No, this game is not translated and because it's a browser game, an English patch is pretty much non-existent. Will it be translated? Highly unlikely.

You have fuel (green), ammo (dark brown/yellow), steel (gray) and bauxite (brown). Fuel and ammo are generally used for resupplying your ship, while fuel and steel are used to repair your ship. Bauxite is used for planes in terms of crafting and resupplying planes to your carriers.

No, you can exceed your resource cap by doing expeditions/sortie/quests but you cannot regenerate pass them. To look for your resource cap, go to your admiral's page and look at the right panel, last row in blue.

Flagship protection. Ships will occasionally protect the flagship from getting damaged. What really causes it is not known but some formation boost the probability of it happening more than the others. Ring-shaped / Diamond shaped formation will raise the probability of it happening more than the Vertical line formation.

Generally, Battleships and regular carriers are the queens of the battlefield except when it comes to submarines. Heavy Cruisers are jack of all trades and light cruisers and destroyers are natural enemies of submarines and probably the only enemies as they could drop depth charges.

Isuzu Kai (五十鈴改) has stock equipment which is desirable to a lot of admiral ([[12.7cm Twin High-Angle Cannon]] and [[Type 21 Air Radar]]). Combined with her value as modernization material (+4 AA) and low remodel level requirement (Lv.12), It's an attractive proposition.

Generally if the stat is 0, it means the ship can't do anything pertaining to that and there's no way you could increase it.

In general, yes. For ships capable of carrying aircraft, each slot may gives different aircraft-carrying capacity. see [[#What_does_the_number_beside_my_plane_stand_for.3F|below]].

*Only green guns (high-angle gun and machine gun) shoot planes.

*46cm guns also shoot planes. (Yes, even though they're red.)
*Yellow guns (secondary gun) do NOT shoot planes.
46cm guns also shoot planes. (Yes, even though they're red.)
*All guns with with +AA stat help green guns shoot planes but do not shoot planes unless they are green guns themselves.
*'''There are two types of green guns: dual-purpose guns '''(46cm red, 12.7cm green, 10cm green)''', which trigger a forward sliding motion from ships in a battle, and machine guns '''(everything you see towards the back of your equipment inventory list)''', which produce a "tracer bullet" visual effect when they fire. Dual-purpose guns tend to reduce the number of incoming enemy planes in general; machine guns tend to reduce the amount of planes attacking a single ship, as in, they defend themselves.'''
Yellow guns (secondary gun) do NOT shoot planes.
*Green ammo makes a ship shoot planes regardless of gun. This makes it redundant for BBs with 46cm guns.
*AA radar is effective but helps only the ship that it's equipped to.
All guns with with +AA stat help green guns shoot planes but do not shoot planes unless they are green guns themselves.
*For those wondering about yellow guns: They're for more accurate fire on secondary targets, for this purposes of this game that would be on their second round of fire. Historically, they were meant to fire faster and track fast ships more quickly, hence the accuracy boost. By the way, don't ever use 15.2cm yellow guns, they were bad historically and they're bad in this game too. The 15.5cm yellow guns are great.

The capacity of the planes it can hold. Different slots have different capacity and will affect the performance of the carrier. Blues on the slot with the most planes = more damage during the bombing phase
