  • NOAP NOAP
    : allow carriers to attack at night when equipped with Night Planes.
  • AGDP AGDP: is needed for CV/CVB/CVL to sortie in "Arctic Maps".

• Command Facilities
  
  allow for ships in a fleet to be evacuated when critically damaged:
  • FCFFleet Command Facility (FCF) for Combined Fleets.
  • SFFCFStriking Force Fleet Command Facility (SFFCF) for Striking Force Fleets.
  • ETSCFElite Torpedo Squadron Command Facility (ETSCF) for "Torpedo Squadrons" (CL(T) & DD only fleets).

Equipment Icons & Types

Every piece of equipment in the game has an icon, regrouping them by type, giving a quick visual indicator of what a given equipment is.

• One icon can be shared with different equipment types.
• Some icons are used for a single equipment.
• Some equipment icons on the wiki will be displayed with "text" Text, indicating special notes like stats or sub-types of equipment.
  • Categories labeled as Sp are for "special subtypes", types of equipment with the same mechanics as their normal main type, but corresponding to "larger variants", equipable on respectively larger or more capable ships.

Aircraft

Aircraft
Equipment Types			Mechanics
For a better understanding of plane-related mechanics, see Aerial Combat
Carriers-Bassed			Those planes are mainly equipable on Carriers (CV/CVB/CVL).
Fighters	Fighters		provide air-power and shoot down opposing aircraft.
	Night Fighters		night battle capable fighters.
Dive Bombers	Dive Bombers		have strong "shelling attack", and cannot attack Installations unless they are Anti-Installation Dive Bombers.
	Fighter-Bombers		"Fighter-Bombers" are "Dive Bombers", both behaving the exact same way, with the only notable difference being the Improvement effects given by .
Torpedo Bombers	Torpedo Bombers		have strong "preliminary attack".
	Night Torpedo Bombers		night battle capable torpedo bombers.
Jet-powered Fighter-Bombers			They provide strong air-power and shelling attack, and also carry an initial "Jet Assault".
Reconnaissance Aircraft	Reconnaissance Aircraft		???
	Sp Large Reconnaissance Aircraft		???
Land-Based			For a better understanding of land-base mechanics, see Land-Based Air Squadron.
Bombers	Attackers	Attackers	The main type of attacking planes for land-bases
		bomber Army Attackers
		Assault Aircraft (Army Attackers)
		Patrol Aircraft	Behave like other LB Attackers, with an ASW focused role.
	Large Aircraft	Heavy Bombers	Land-Based Heavy Bombers mostly work like other Land-Based Attackers, but unlike them, they have only 9 planes in LBAS slots, instead of 18, as well as slightly worse damage modifiers, dividing their base attack power by about half.
Interceptors/Fighters	Army Fighters		act like fighters, with some being more suited for interception, and others as fighter-escort:
	Navy Fighters	Navy Fighters
		Rocket Interceptors	High Altitude Interceptors multiply the total air power of all land bases in Air Defense mode, when defending against enemy High-Altitude Bombers. The multiplier depends on the number of high altitude interceptors equipped and which difficulty the event map is played on: High Altitude Interceptors Me 163B Prototype Shuusui Shuusui Airpower modifier against high altitude raids: Event Map Difficulty Number of High Altitude Interceptors Defending 0 1 2 3+ Casual/Easy: 1x 1.1x 1.2x Medium/Hard: 0.5x 0.8x
LB Reconnaissance Aircraft			Reconnaissance AircraftSpLBRecon are planes that: Can trigger Contact. When equipped to a Land Base: Can extend the minimum Combat Radius in Sortie Mode. LB Land-based Recons will additionally: Add a bonus damage multiplier to all Aircraft in the base. Add a bonus multiplier to the total Sortie Fighter-Power of the base. Add a bonus multiplier to the total Defense Fighter-Power of the base in Air Defense Mode. Can contribute Fighter Power (if it has any Proficiency or ), and can be shot down.
Seaplanes			Planes only compatible with ships having the appropriate catapult (mainly battleships, cruisers, and auxiliaries)
"Multi-Role" Seaplanes	Recon Reconnaissance Seaplanes	Recon Reconnaissance Seaplanes	Reconnaissance AircraftSpLBRecon are planes that: Can trigger Contact. Does not contribute Fighter Power in Aerial Combat, and so cannot be shot down during it (can be shot down during Detection). When equipped to a Land Base: Can extend the minimum Combat Radius in Sortie Mode. Add a bonus multiplier to the total Defense Fighter-Power of the base in Air Defense Mode. Can contribute Fighter Power (if it has any Proficiency or ), and can be shot down.
		Night Reconnaissance Seaplanes	In addition to all Seaplane Recon mechanics: Night Recons have the ability to trigger Night Contact. The scouting phase animation will not show up like day battles; instead, the night recon plane's animation is played in the enemy fleet's radar. Acts as an Reconnaissance Seaplane too in day battle (with activation rates proportionally lower with the stat). [Bug] In a Combined Fleet situation, if a ship in the fleet equipped with a night scout is evacuated from the combined fleet using the Fleet Command Facility, the night recon can still trigger and activate as the fleet proceeds onward and enters a night battle.
	Bomber Seaplane Bombers		act like dive bombers and can also provide Artillery Spotting.
Seaplane Fighters			act like fighters.
Large Flying Boats			Large Flying Boats share most of the properties of Reconnaissance Aircraft. They notably: Can perform ASW attacks on their own (similar to Rotorcraft). Increase the minimum Range of Land Bases, from +1 to +3 range depending on the base's unmodified range. Can be used in the Air Reconnaissance nodes mechanic. When equipped in any slot size, the plane count is dropped down to 1, refunding any bauxite. Although it is a scout which does not actually participate in Aerial Combat mechanics-wise, it is still included in the launching animation if other planes are launched.
Misc
Rotorcraft	Autogyros		Rotorcraft are ASW Aircraft, being used to trigger some OASW and Land-based ASW attacks. As they do not have any Dive Bombing stat, they do not participate to Phases 2 & 3 of Aerial Combat and are immune to shootdown. They: Will launch during aerial battle if other planes are launched, but cannot start an aerial battle on their own. CV(B/L) equipped with them will still require a Dive Bomber or a Torpedo Bomber to attack submarines, as they are unable to attack anything without a bomber. AS and AR can equip them, but the former cannot attack SS, and the latter has a carrying capacity of 0 so they do not function. AO can equip them, but their attack animation will still be a depth charge animation. Their LBAS Combat Radius cannot be extended.
	Helicopters
Liaison Aircraft			Liaison Aircraft are ASW Aircraft, being used to trigger some OASW and Land-based ASW attacks. Command Liaison Aircraft do not have any Dive Bombing stat, and so do not participate to Phases 2 & 3 of Aerial Combat and are immune to shootdown. They: Will launch during aerial battle if other planes are launched, but cannot start an aerial battle on their own. CV/L equipped with it will still require a Dive Bomber or a Torpedo Bomber to attack submarines, as it is unable to attack anything without a bomber. Cannot have their LBAS Combat Radius extended. Hayabusa ASW Hayabusa have some Dive Bombing stat that counts toward Shelling and allow them to take part in regular Aerial Combat. They cannot trigger any CVCI. Only a random amount of this stat will be counted against Installations. In LBAS anti-ship strikes, their is used, and they are counted as regular Land-Based Attackers. Proficiency gives them increased Fighter Power like fighters.

When equipped to a Land Base: Can extend the minimum Combat Radius in Sortie Mode. Add a bonus multiplier to the total Defense Fighter-Power of the base in Air Defense Mode. Can contribute Fighter Power (if it has any Proficiency or ), and can be shot down.
Planes with Anti-Air Resistance			Specific planes may present a special AA resistance property. AA resistance is presented in form of "Ship AA Resistance/Fleet AA Resistance", with each value being used in the respective formulas seen on the Aerial Combat page.
ASW Aircraft			Aircraft with at least 7 ASW , can be used to trigger special OASW and are required to perform Land-based ASW attacks.

Anti-Installation Dive Bombers			Dive-Bombers that can attack installations This is a segment from a bigger article. See Combat/Anti-Installation for details on Installation mechanics. Carriers will only attack installations in the shelling phase if equipped with Torpedo Bombers or Anti-Installation Dive Bombers. Additionally, carriers will attack installations if equipped with non-special dive bombers AND one of the special dive bombers below. Any other dive bomber will completely disable shelling against installations even if the carrier has a torpedo bomber equipped. This can be very useful to manipulate the targeting mechanic so the carriers attack important targets.

Submarine Equipment
Searchlights	Small Small Searchlight		Searchlights are used to trigger a special Night Battle mechanic when equipped, playing a special animation and applying the following effects: Attack accuracy and cut-in rates of the fleet are increased. Cut-in rates of the enemy fleet are decreased. The enemy fleet will target and hit the ship that triggered the searchlight more often, see here. The activation rate is 100% on ships with 2 or more HP, 0% otherwise. Multiple ships equipped with searchlights do not have stacking effects.
	Large Large Searchlight
Star Shell			Star Shells are used to trigger a special Night Battle mechanic when equipped, playing a special animation and applying the following effects: Attack accuracy and cut-in rates of the fleet are increased. Cut-in rates of the enemy fleet are decreased. The activation rate is 70% on ships with 5 or more HP, 0% otherwise. Multiple ships equipped with star shells do not have stacking effects. There is no side effect, unlike Searchlights.
Skilled Lookouts			Surface Ship Personnel are equippable in RE. They: Increase cut-in rates in Night Battles for the ship equipping it, Are required to trigger some "New Type" Cut-ins, Play an animation right before cut-in animations, Bring an accuracy bonus against PT Imp.
Landing Craft	TP Transport DLC		Landing Craft can serve in several roles: "Transport Craft" (type 1) are best at increasing the resources gained from expeditions, "Landing Tanks" (type 2 & 3) deal more damage to installations, being an essential component of "nuke set-ups" (see Anti-Installation), "Armed Boats" (type 4) act mostly like Landing Tanks, and have some additional bonus, against PT Imp notably. Each Landing Craft equipped will increase "TP Gauge" drain by 8 during Transport Operations. Each Landing Craft equipped (except for "Landing Tanks type 3") will increase resource gain on Resource Nodes and Expeditions.
	Tank Landing Tanks
	Armed Armed Boats
Tanks			Amphibious Vehicles behave similarly to Landing Craft. They: Deal great damage to installation, being an essential component of the "nuke" (see Anti-Installation). Increase expedition resources gain. Greatly increase Resource Nodes resources gain. Slightly increase TP gauge drain during Transport Operations. Allow Submarines to participate in the shelling phase against Installations, by launching the tank in battle.
Drums			Drum Canisters are not "combat equipment", and so are mostly used for non-combat mechanics. They: Increase resource gains on Resource Nodes in sorties. Can affect Routing on certain maps. Slightly increase TP gauge drain during Transport Operations. Are required to trigger a "New Type" Cut-in. Are required for expeditions 21, 37, and 38. Increase the chance of Great Success for several expeditions. They do NOT increase resource gains from expeditions when equipped.

Consumables	Underway Replenishment		Fleet Oilers (AO) can notably refuel ships mid-sortie using Underway Replenishment. They can also carry Landing Craft, which is useful for Resource Farming.
	Emergency Repair Personnel		Selection of which type of Emergency Repair Personnel to consume to advance (left buttons), or to retreat (right button). "Emergency Repair Personnel " are consumable items: As "consumables", they do not take any equipment slot and appear in the Inventory and are equippable in RE. Ships entering a battle whilst Heavily Damaged (大破) have a chance to be Sunk (撃沈) . In the case of the flagship, being Heavily Damaged (大破) will force a retreat after that node. Equipping at least one Emergency Repair Personnel can prevent the equipped ship from sinking, by reviving it after being sunk. If this is equipped on a flagship, the player can use this before heading to another node. If both Personnel & Goddess are equipped, then it is possible to choose which one to use (see the picture). Emergency Repair Personnel can only repair the ship they are equipped on. Once repaired, a ship becomes unsinkable for the rest of the battle, including night battle. The item is consumed upon activation. The restored ships will be as followed: Emergency Repair Personnel HP recovered when sunk HP recovered on flagship Fuel/Ammo restored Emergency Repair Personnel 20% 50% 0% Emergency Repair Goddess 100% 100% 100%
	Combat Rations		Selection of whether to use a ration or not, before a boss node. "Rations" are consumable items: As "consumables", they do not take any equipment slot and appear in the Inventory and are equippable in RE. When an equipped ship's morale drops below a certain level during a Sortie, a ration is consumed, greatly restoring the morale of the ship, The ships directly above and below in the combat screen are also given a small morale boost. They slightly increase TP gauge drain during Transport Operations. When a Ration is equipped on a girl upon entering a Boss Node, a prompt will appear giving a choice to use the Ration or not. Rations consumed by a girl give a Post-cap bonus against all Installation.
