Line 703: − + − :* In the case of a battle occurring with Night Battle first, one option is to replace the RADAR and seaplane with two torpedoes {{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}{{Template:TorpedoWeapon}}, which will lose the day battle special attacks but give the chance for powerful two-torpedo cut-in attacks.+

* '''Destroyers'''
* '''Destroyers'''
:* As destroyers do not have the ability to field seaplanes, have low firepower but high torpedo stats, and few equipment slots, their use in fleets is generally to meet composition requirements. Their common setups focus on Anti-Sub Warfare, Night Torpedo, or Fleet Anti-Air Support

:* Heavy Cruisers see the introduction of 4 slot setups after remodeling and all of them feature the ability to launch seaplanes for artillery spotting. While they are still limited to the Medium main guns, their higher firepower and armor can make them solid combatants when Battleships are unavailable or overkill.

:* The go-to setup for most situations will be the 2 main guns, RADAR, seaplane setup ({{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:Radar}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) which provides day and night double attack potential.

:* Certain Event bosses take additional damage when a ship is equipped with [[Type 3 Shell]]s. As heavy cruisers have access to these, a Heavy Cruiser may find swapping the RADAR for a [[Type 3 Shell]] ({{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Template:GreenAmmo}}{{Template:Seaplane}}) to be effective against such targets (see [[Airfield Princess]]).

:* Heavy cruisers [[Myoukou]] and [[Prinz Eugen]] have high base luck, allowing reliable torpedo or mixed cut-ins at night. {{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Seaplane}}{{TorpedoWeapon}}, is recommended for day-time artillery spotting and potent mixed cut-ins at night.
* '''Battleships'''
* '''Battleships'''
:* Battleships feature a selection of Heavy Main Guns and massive resulting firepower in addition to the potent Armor Piercing shells which can cause brutal critical hits. Setups for battleships are similar to those of heavy cruisers, with one notable addition.
