*During the first shelling stage, the order of fire is determined by the ship's maximum range.

:*The shelling order alternates from allied ships to enemy ships if able. If two ships on the same side have the same range, the ship that attacks first from between them is chosen randomly.

*The second shelling phase (if applicable) has an initial firing order of all ships normally capable of attacking during shelling phase, alternating between sides.
:*Very Short range only exists for enemy (all variants of [[Light Carrier Nu-Class]] and [[Standard Carrier Wo-Class]]).
:*Some equipments can extend the range of a ship, but in no cases will a ship's range decrease due to equipment.
*The second shelling phase (if applicable) has an initial firing order of all ships alive that are normally capable of attacking during shelling phase, alternating between sides.
*Ships unable to attack at all in the shelling phase (''e.g.'' all submarines, basic [[Transport Ship Wa-Class]], any carrier carrying no bombers) are not put into the shelling order (during both phases). Ships normally able to attack but rendered unable to (''e.g.'' damaged carriers carrying bombers) will be included in the shelling order but take no action.

*CVLs and CVs must be in good or lightly damaged condition in order to participate in either shelling phases; Armored Aircraft Carriers (''e.g.'' [[Taihou]]) may still attack while moderately damaged.
