In brief, Artillery Spotting consists of two types of attack: Cut-In '''[CI] '''& Double Attack '''[DA]'''. When activated, the attacking ship receives a damage output ([http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Damage_Calculations post-cap]) & accuracy bonus. More detailed explanations could be found on the page [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Day_Battle_Special_Attacks_.28Artillery_Spotting.29 Game Mechanics -> Artillery Spotting] .

When activated, the attacking ship receives a damage output ([http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Damage_Calculations post-cap]) & accuracy bonus. You need to achieve at least Air superiority (AS) during aerial battle, and at least 1 seaplane equipped on the ship. The plane count can't be 0.

* Despite the highest activation rate, it provides a chance (~40%) to trigger secondary gun CI, which has only '''110%''' damage modifier post-cap. This could be awkward when facing heavy armor enemies.

* Since an additional secondary gun is added, while the CI damage modifier is '''130% post-cap''', this setup is more powerful when accuracy is guaranteed.

* However, this setup does not provide vital accuracy bonus. Besides, the actual trigger rates need to be further tested.

* Less volatile with respect to the changes in FLoS, and even more penalized when Air Supremacy is not achieved.
* Trigger rates are less volatile with respect to the changes in FLoS, but more penalized when Air Supremacy (AS+) is not achieved.
* Preliminary study shows AP shell provide 10+ additional firepower against enemies with heavy armor. Therefore, this setup is quite recommended when dealing with [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Battleship_Ru-Class Ru-Class Battleships] and above.
