The equipment bonuses do not stack further than 1 radar and/or 1 AP shell per ship.

• Only ships equipped with those equipment will get a bonus for their attack(s).

• All three ships involved consume additional ammunition when triggered:

Fleet type	Triggering type	Additional ammo consumption
Single	Day battle (no night battle)	10%
	Day battle (with night battle)	15%
	Night battle (after day battle)	15%
	Night battle Node	5%
Combined	Day battle (no night battle)	0%
	Day battle (with night battle)	10%
	Night battle (after day battle)	10%

• Trigger rate is affected by the Level and luck stat of the participating ships.
  • If all three ships are lv.99 the trigger rate is around 52%~60%.
• Can be triggered even if artillery spotting fails to activate.
• Can only be activated once per sortie.
• Has a chance to trigger every time the flagship takes a turn at shelling.
  • In single fleet, if it fails to trigger in day battle, there is a chance to trigger it in the follow-up night battle.
