Introduction

This page is to provide detail on how plane shoot down is calculated during the Fleet Air Defense phase of aerial combat.

Fleet Air Defense

Adjusted Anti-Air

There are two adjusted anti-air values that are taken into account when calculating shoot down; the ship adjusted AA and fleet adjusted AA. The following formulas only apply to ship girls. Abyssals have their own formula.

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Adj AA}_\text{ship} = \text{AA}_\text{ship} + \sum_{\text{All Slots}} \left( \text{Mod}_\text{equipS} \times \text{AA}_\text{equip} \right) + \left( \text{Mod}_\text{ImprS} \times \sqrt{\bigstar} \right) }[/math]

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{AA}_\text{ship} }[/math] is the base Anti-Air of the ship.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{equipS} }[/math] is the ship anti-air equipment modifier.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{AA}_\text{equip} }[/math] is the base Anti-Air of the equipment.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{ImprS} }[/math] is the ship anti-air equipment improvement modifier.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \bigstar }[/math] is the level of Improvement.

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Adj AA}_\text{fleet} = 1.54 \times \left[ \text{Mod}_\text{formation} \times \sum_{\text{All Ships}} \left( \sum_{\text{All Slots}} \left( \text{Mod}_\text{equipF} \times \text{AA}_\text{equip} \right) + \left( \text{Mod}_\text{ImprF} \times \sqrt{\bigstar} \right) \right) \right] }[/math]

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{formation} }[/math] is the formation modifier.
    • Line Ahead/Echelon/Line Abreast/Combined Fleet Cruising 2/Combined Fleet Cruising 4: [math]\displaystyle{ 1.0 }[/math]
    • Vanguard/Combined Fleet Cruising 1: [math]\displaystyle{ 1.1 }[/math]\
    • Double Line: [math]\displaystyle{ 1.2 }[/math]
    • Combined Fleet Cruising 3: [math]\displaystyle{ 1.5 }[/math]
    • Diamond: [math]\displaystyle{ 1.6 }[/math]
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{equipF} }[/math] is the fleet anti-air equipment modifier.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{AA}_\text{equip} }[/math] is the base Anti-Air of the equipment.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{ImprS} }[/math] is the fleet anti-air equipment improvement modifier.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \bigstar }[/math] is the level of Improvement.

Fixed Shoot Down

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Shootdown}_\text{fixed} = \frac{ \left[ \text{Mod}_\text{equipped} \times \frac{\text{AA}_\text{ship} + \text{Adj AA}_\text{fleet}}{\text{Mod}_\text{equipped}} \right] \times \text{Mod}_\text{AACI} \times \text{Mod}_\text{CF}}{10} }[/math]

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{equipped} }[/math] is the modifier if the ship has any anti-air equipment equipped.
    • It is [math]\displaystyle{ 2 }[/math] if she is equipped with something and [math]\displaystyle{ 1 }[/math] if not.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{AACI} }[/math] is the anti-air cut-in modifier. See below for details.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{CF} }[/math] is the combined fleet modifier. It is [math]\displaystyle{ 1 }[/math] otherwise.
    • Main Fleet: [math]\displaystyle{ 0.72 }[/math]
    • Main Fleet: [math]\displaystyle{ 0.48 }[/math]

Proportional Shoot Down

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Shootdown}_\text{proportional} = \frac{ \left[ \text{Mod}_\text{equipped} \times \frac{\text{AA}_\text{ship}}{\text{Mod}_\text{equipped}} \right] \times \text{Mod}_\text{CF}}{400} \times \text{N}_\text{planes} }[/math]

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{equipped} }[/math] is the modifier if the ship has any anti-air equipment equipped.
    • It is [math]\displaystyle{ 2 }[/math] if she is equipped with something and [math]\displaystyle{ 1 }[/math] if not.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{CF} }[/math] is the combined fleet modifier. It is [math]\displaystyle{ 1 }[/math] otherwise.
    • Main Fleet: [math]\displaystyle{ 0.72 }[/math]
    • Main Fleet: [math]\displaystyle{ 0.48 }[/math]
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{N}_\text{planes} }[/math] is the current plane count of the targeted slot.

Abyssal Anti-Air

Abyssal anti-air is weaker than ship girl anti-air and can result in 0 shoot downs. It also takes into account adjusted ship AA and adjusted fleet AA into the fixed and proportional shoot downs.


[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Adj AA}_\text{Aship} = 2 \times \sqrt{\text{AA}_\text{Aship}} + \sum_{\text{All Slots}} \left( \text{Mod}_\text{equipS} \times \text{AA}_\text{equip} \right) }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Adj AA}_\text{fleet} = 2 \times \left[ \text{Mod}_\text{formation} \times \sum_{\text{All Ships}} \left( \sum_{\text{All Slots}} \left( \text{Mod}_\text{equipF} \times \text{AA}_\text{equip} \right) \right) \right] }[/math]

  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{AA}_\text{Aship} }[/math] is the base Anti-Air of the Abyssal.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{equipS} }[/math] is the ship anti-air equipment modifier.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{equipF} }[/math] is the fleet anti-air equipment modifier.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{AA}_\text{equip} }[/math] is the base Anti-Air of the equipment.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Mod}_\text{formation} }[/math] is the formation modifier.
    • Line Ahead/Echelon/Line Abreast/Combined Fleet Cruising 2/Combined Fleet Cruising 4: [math]\displaystyle{ 1.0 }[/math]
    • Vanguard/Combined Fleet Cruising 1: [math]\displaystyle{ 1.1 }[/math]\
    • Double Line: [math]\displaystyle{ 1.2 }[/math]
    • Combined Fleet Cruising 3: [math]\displaystyle{ 1.5 }[/math]
    • Diamond: [math]\displaystyle{ 1.6 }[/math]

For calculating Abyssal fixed and proportional shootdown:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Shootdown}_\text{fixed} = \frac{\text{AA}_\text{ship} + \text{Adj AA}_\text{fleet}}{10.6} }[/math]

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Shootdown}_\text{proportional} = \frac{\text{Adj AA}_\text{Aship}}{400} }[/math]

Anti-Air Cut-In

When equipped with certain equipment setups, ships will be able to perform special anti-air cut-ins that will boost the shoot down values. With AACI and enough anti-air backing it, it is possible to completely wipe out incoming bombers resulting in no damage to the fleet. This would also mean disabling enemy carrier attacks during day combat due to having 0 planes.


AACI Types

Unless otherwise specified, any equipment that shares the same icon can be substituted.

Important Notes

  • Except API 1/2, only radars with an Anti-Air stat can trigger AACI.
  • If a ship fulfills multiple AACI requirements, the lowest API number will be triggered.
    • Only a single roll is done to determine if AACI triggers.
    • This means that an AACI with lower priority but higher trigger chance can activate when a higher priority AACI fails the roll.
    • The exceptions where a ship can possibly trigger either AACI are:
      • 7 and 8
      • 19 and 20; and 8 and 20 for Kinu
      • 5 and 29 for Isokaze and Hamakaze
    • The exception to this is the Fletcher-class AACI where the game will make multiple rolls to check each AACI in ascending order.
      • This makes the Fletcher-class AACI the most reliable AACI in the game.
  • If multiple ships manage to activate AACI, the highest API number will be triggered.
    • This means you need to be careful that the powerful AACI in your fleet are not being overridden by worse AACI.
  • AACI will not change the determined air control state. It only affects the bombers in the airstrike phase.

AACI Equipment Setups

Below are recommended equipment setups for anti-air cut-ins. If an AACI type is not listed, it means that it is subpar and not worth considering. The order of the equipment is for illustrative purposes only. It does not matter what order the equipment are in.

Battleships
Equipment Setup AACI Type Notes
High-Angle GunRADAR 28 This is the standard setup for all battleships. It allows you to perform both the powerful AP cut-in and a double attack as backup. For battleships with 5 slots, the last equipment must not be a secondary gun or radar.
Large Caliber Main GunLarge Caliber Main GunSeaplaneAnti-Aircraft Shell Double Attack This is reserved for anti-installation work. It will reduce a battleship's effectiveness against surface targets so keep that in mind when using this setup.

This setup is exclusive to Musashi Kai Ni when she has the 10cm Twin High-angle Gun Mount Kai + Additional Machine Guns equipped in her reinforcement expansion and an anti-air radar. This setup is to allow her to perform her special AACI.
