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.

Trivia

General Information

She was launched on the 4th of November 1914.
She was scrapped in 1948.

Update History

She was added as the Summer 2024 Event E2 Drop.

Misc

Survived World War II.
On release, she came with a Bomber Swordfish (Seaplane Model) equipped on stock, even so she could not equip any other Seaplane Bomber. This is a reference to her real life spotter seaplane which was a Fairey Swordfish Mk.I Seaplane variant. This plane was in fact heavily armed and served her well during the Battle of Mers El Kebir.
