| + | Ship's speed can take the following values: |
− | There are several effects of increasing ship girl speed:
| + | * Slow (低速) |
− | | + | * Fast (高速) |
− | * Meeting routing requirements.
| + | * Fast+ (高速+) |
− | ** Slow ships can be sped up to fulfil certain branching requirements.
| + | * Fastest (最速) (sometimes "Fast ++") |
− | *** Note that this does not apply to ''ship type'' requirements. Eg a BB will not count as a FBB where FBBs are specifically required. | |
− | ** Fast+ and fastest are required to fulfil routing requirements in some maps. Eg. [[World 3#3-2|3-2]] and [[World 4#4-5|4-5]].
| |
− | * [[Combined Fleet]] composition. | |
− | ** Slow battleships that are fast+ can be placed in the escort fleet.
| |
− | * Evasion increase.
| |
− | ** Although this has been stated by the developers to occur, testing has not shown any significant increase in evasion.
| |
− | * Because [[Destroyer Escorts]] cannot be equipped with a turbine, they are the only ship type that '''cannot be sped up'''.

| + | There are several effects of increasing ship speed: |
| + | * Meeting routing requirements: |
| + | ** Fleet speed affect certain [[Routing|map routing]]. |
| + | *** Note that this does not apply to ''ship type'' requirements (e.g. a BB will not count as an FBB where FBBs are specifically required). |
| + | *** Most map routings are only affected by slow/fast fleets, '''fast+''' and '''fastest''' being required for routing in very few maps (eg. [[3-2]] and [[4-5]]). |
| + | * [[Combined Fleet#Combined Fleet Types|Combined Fleet composition]]: |
| + | ** BB/BBV that are '''fast+''' can be placed in the escort fleet of STF/TCF (only '''fast''' for [[Warspite Kai]]). |
| + | * ''Evasion increase'': |
| + | ** Devs claim ([https://twitter.com/KanColle_STAFF/status/818739607776804866]) that higher speed values increase evasion, however, no such bonus has ever been measured ([https://twitter.com/Xe_UCH/status/819164409025032195][http://ja.kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/%E3%82%B9%E3%83%AC%E3%83%83%E3%83%89:676]). |
| + | * Because [[Coastal Defense Ships]] (DE) cannot equip {{Engine}} [[Engine Improvement]]s, they are the only ship type that '''cannot be speed-up'''. |
| | | |
| =Speed Change Charts= | | =Speed Change Charts= |
| + | It is '''highly recommended''' to have a [[Reinforcement Expansion]] on ships that are sped-up. Ships sped up without using a RE will have '''severely degraded combat efficiency''' in most cases. |
| | | |
− | It is '''highly recommended''' that you have a [[Reinforcement Expansion]] on ship girls that you wish to speed up. It can '''severely degrade''' their combat efficiency if you attempt to speed up ship girls without one.
| + | So far, only 2 "boilers" exist in the game, and they are referred to as: |
− | | + | * {{Equipment/Link|Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler}} = +10 Boiler |
− | * [[Enhanced Steam Boiler]] = ESB
| + | * {{Equipment/Link|New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler}} = +13 Boiler |
− | * [[New High Pressure-Temperature Steam Boiler]] = NHTSB
