#Aerial support gets +3 instead of +25 to the part of the formula counting the square root of the planes in the slot. Thus, each attack uses the following formula for damage: <math> \text {Modifier} \times \text {((Bomber's Dive Bomb or Torpedo stat)} \times \sqrt {Number \space of \space Planes} + 3)</math>, where Modifier = 1.0 for dive bombers and either 0.8 or 1.5 (50% chance of either) for torpedo bombers.

#Shelling support does not get the Effective Bonus provided by [[Akashi's Improvement Arsenal|improving equipment]] and uses (Firepower + 5) as attack power instead.

===ASW Support Expedition===
As of 2017, Aerial Support can now trigger at nodes containing enemy submarines, provided that the correct set-ups are used. The requirements<ref>https://twitter.com/muu_1106/status/937539281832230912</ref> are as follows:
#Support Expedition must not meet the requirements for either shelling or torpedo support.
#Support Expedition fleet must contain 2DD + 1CVL + 1"ASW Ship" + any other ships (provided that Rule #1 is not violated).
**The "ASW Ship" '''must''' be 1 of the following: CVL/AV/AO/CL/CT.
***This rule is can be bypassed if your fleet contains 2DE, but this is generally not worth the trade-off as all of your damage in an ASW Support Expedition will be derived from slot sizes and the ASW power of said ASW Aviation Patrol equipment (see below).
**Ship "Y" must have one of the following ASW Aviation Patrol equipment in a slot with a slot size of > 0: Torpedo Bomber/Dive Bomber/Seaplane Bomber/Seaplane Fighter/Seaplane Recon/Taitei/[[Ka-type Observation Autogyro]]/[[Type 3 Spotter/Liaison (ASW)]]
Potential ASW output for the expedition is calculated entirely based on ASW stats of the ASW Aviation Patrol equipment, as well as the respective slot sizes for said equipment. This holds true for even for ships that do not fall into the "ASW Ship" category described above, as long as they they have ASW Aviation Patrol equipment equipped (confirmed for BBV/CAV/CV(B)/Taigei/SSV).
Sonars and Depth Charges do not fall into the category of ASW Aviation Patrol equipment. Consequently, equipping these does not have an effect on your support expedition's potential ASW output.
At nodes that do not contain enemy submarines, the ASW Support Expedition will trigger as a standard Aerial Support Expedition instead.
