Changes

Huge changes; I am essentially forking the Combat#Combat_Equipment_Setup section here. As this page stood, it was not something that should be outside of a sandbox.

==Introduction==
This page studies the trigger rates & effectiveness of Artillery Spotting (弾着観測射撃), based on preliminary in-game testing. An optimal use of Artillery Spotting could considerably improve your fleet's daytime combat performances.
+
Artillery Spotting is a means of increasing the damage your ships deal and their accuracy during the day, and manifests in either a double attack or a cut-in.
   −
In brief, Artillery Spotting ''(aka. Day Battle Special Attacks) ''consists of two types of attack: Cut-In '''[CI] '''& Double Attack '''[DA]'''. When activated, the attacking ship receives a damage output ([[Combat#Post-Cap_Modifiers post-cap]]) & accuracy bonus. You need to achieve at least Air superiority (AS) during aerial combat, and at least 1 [[List_of_Seaplanes_by_stats]] equipped on the ship. The remaining plane count can't be 0. More details could be found on the page (-).
+
The following are universal requirements for a ship to perform artillery spotting:
 +
*At least one slot of seaplanes must be equipped.
 +
*Air superiority or supremacy must be achieved that battle.
 +
*Ships cannot perform these while heavily damaged (大破).
    +
The following ships are unable to perform artillery spotting either because of a 0 plane capacity or the inability to equip any appropriate setups.
 +
*All destroyers
 +
*Torpedo cruisers ([[Kitakami]], [[Ooi]] and [[Kiso|Kiso Kai Ni]])
 +
*Certain light cruisers ([[Isuzu]], [[Tenryuu]], [[Tatsuta]] and [[Yuubari]])
 +
*Submarines
 +
*All carriers
 +
*Auxiliary vessels [[Akashi]], [[Akitsu Maru]] and [[Katori]]

== Typical Set Ups for Artillery Spotting: ==
+
*The slot order does not matter, though be mindful that putting your planes in a ship's largest slot can improve your chances of triggering a special attack.
All the typical set ups are listed below, click (-) to see more possible combinations. Notice that any other combination will NOT change their attack modes or trigger rates. The damage modifiers are all applied post-cap (150).
+
*When neither special attack is triggered, the ship will just do a single attack, dealing 100% damage.
==== Double Attack ====
  −
* {{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Seaplane}} ....................2 x [[List_of_Main_Guns_by_stats]] + Seaplane..........................................(basic setup)
  −
* {{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Seaplane}}{{Seaplane}}............2 x Main + Seaplane + '''Seaplane'''
  −
* {{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{Seaplane}}{{Radar}}............2 x Main + Seaplane + '''[[List_of_Radars_by_stats]]'''       
  −
 
  −
''>> DA Damage: 120% x 2. More powerful for ships with higher activation chances & shelling accuracy. Double attack = An extra chance to hit or crit the target.''       
  −
 
  −
''>> Set up #2 and #3 gives ~10% extra trigger chances on DA.''       
  −
 
  −
==== Cut-In ====
  −
* {{RedGunMedium}}{{YellowGun}}{{Seaplane}}..........................1 x Main + [[List_of_Secondary_Guns_by_stats]] + Seaplane....................................(basic setup)
  −
* {{RedGunMedium}}{{YellowGun}}{{Seaplane}}{{Radar}}.................1 x Main + Sec + Seaplane +''' Radar'''.......................(highest CI chance)
  −
* {{RedGunHeavy}}{{YellowGun}}{{Seaplane}}{{RedAmmo}}.................1 x Main + Sec + Seaplane + '''[[List_of_Shells_by_stats]]'''
  −
''>> CI Damage: 110% / 120% / 130%. Works well for ships with high firepower while giving more chances for Artillery Spotting.''
  −
 
  −
''>> Set up #2 triggers either radar CI (120%).or secondary gun CI (110%).''
  −
 
  −
''>>Set up #3 triggers either AP shell CI (130%) or secondary gun CI (110%). Highest base trigger chances, less dependent on FLoS.''
  −
 
  −
==== Hybrid (DA+CI) ====
  −
* {{RedGunMedium}}{{RedGunMedium}}{{YellowGun}}{{Seaplane}}......................2 x Main + '''Sec''' + [[List_of_Seaplanes_by_stats]]
  −
* {{RedGunHeavy}}{{RedGunHeavy}}{{RedAmmo}}{{Seaplane}}......................2 x Main + '''AP shell''' + Seaplane..........................(most powerful)
  −
''>> CI Damage: 110% / 150%. DA Damage 120% x 2. Both gives the highest base trigger chances (more dependent on FLoS).''
  −
 
  −
''>> Set up #1 triggers either DA (120% x 2) or secondary gun CI (110%).''
  −
 
  −
''>> Set up #2 triggers either CI (130%) or DA (120% x 2).''
