Gameplay Notes

Battleships (BB) notably utilize Large Caliber Main Guns, Recon Seaplane Recons, and AP Shells, having heavy firepower and armor , but lacking torpedo & ASW stats. They:

• Are required to unlock the "Second Shelling Phase".
• Must be "Fast+" to be placed in the Escort of a Combined Fleet.

Special Mechanics

• Can perform special AACI:

AACI Patterns
ID	Priority Order	Setup	Shot down per slot	K-value	Rate	User
32	40	OR OR	+4	1.2	50 %	Valiant

Kai

• Can be used in the Escort of a Combined Fleet when being fast and not fast+.
  • This notably allows her to be used in the Kongou Special Attack with better effectiveness.

Queen Elizabeth-class Special Attack

On Kai, Warspite and Valiant gain a special attack:

"Touch Helpers"
Warspite Flagship:	Valiant Flagship:

• A Queen Elizabeth-class Kai must be flagship.
  • Secretary for combined fleets.
  • She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
• The other "Touch Helper" must be in the 2nd position.
  • She must not be heavily damaged (大破).

• There must be 6 or more surface ships in the fleet.
  • There must be no submarine in 6-ship fleets. In 7-ship fleets, only 1 submarine is allowed.
  • There must be no surface ship in the fleet sunk or evacuated via FCF
    during a sortie, making the remaining total < 6. Ships in the escort fleet are not counted.

• In single fleet, Echelon needs to be selected.
• In a combined fleet, Cruising Formation 2 needs to be selected.

• Bug: The attack cannot trigger in CTF versus a single fleet.

If triggered:

• The flagship will do a 1st & 2nd attack,
• The 2nd battleship will do a 3rd attack,
• Each attack targets a ship at random,
• If all enemies sunk, then touch stops early.

Attack Multipliers[1]
Equipment	Flagship
	Attacks 1, 2 & 3	Attack 1 & 2	Attacks 3
No Bonus Equipment	1.24	1.20	1.24
Surface Surface Radar Only	1.42	1.38	1.42
AP Shells Only	1.67	1.62	1.67
AP + Surface Radar	1.92	1.86	1.92

• The modifiers are post-cap on day battle, and pre-cap on night battle.
• 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).

• ??

The touch:

• 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.
• The rate is probably:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate}\text{%} = \Biggl\lfloor \text{V} \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Lv}} + \text{W} \times \sum_\text{Ships} \sqrt{\text{Luck}} + \text{X} + \text{Y} \Biggr\rfloor }[/math]

With

• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv} }[/math] the Level of the participating ships,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck} }[/math] the Luck of the participating ships,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{V & W} }[/math] some yet unknown bonus factors,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{X} }[/math] some yet unknown bonus variables,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Y} }[/math] some yet unknown base rate.
