The Day Battle is the phase where the majority of combat takes place. This article will go more in-depth on the stages that take place in Day Battle.
The Day Battle is the phase where the majority of combat takes place.
*''This article will go more in-depth on the stages that take place during the surface combat.
*''Although it will be mentioned when the other related battle phases take place, keep in mind that this page won't go deeper about it, due to the complexity of the mechanics behind them, please refer to each individual page for more details.
The Day Battle has the following structure:
#[[Detection]]
#[[Engagement]]
#[[Aerial Combat]]
#Surface Combat
:#[[Support Expedition]]
:#[[Battle Opening]]
:#[[Shelling|Shelling Phase]]
:#[[Day Battle#Second Shelling Phase|Second Shelling Phase]]
:#[[Closing Torpedo Salvo]]
In case neither fleet meet the requirements, the sub-phase will be skipped.
=Detection=
[[File:Successfull_Detection.png|thumb|right|Successful Detection]]
During Detection, the fleet attempts to detect the enemy fleet. The success rate of Detection is influenced by many factors such as the number and quality of Recons, Radars, fleet Line of Sight (LoS), and such. It is not required to have any equipment to have successful Detection. Generally, it is extremely unlikely to fail detection unless using a very low leveled fleet.
Planes that participate in this phase:
* {{YellowPlane}}{{Large Recon}} [[:Category:Carrier-based Reconnaissance Aircraft|Carrier Recons]]
* {{SPR}} [[SPR|Seaplane Recons]]
** {{Night Recon}} {{Equipment/Link|Type 98 Reconnaissance Seaplane (Night Recon)|Type 0 Reconnaissance Seaplane Model 11B Kai (Night Recon)|Loire 130M|text=Night Recons|link_category=Night Recon}}
* {{SPB}} [[SPB|Seaplane Bombers]]
* {{Large Flying Boat}} {{Equipment/Link|Type 2 Large Flying Boat|PBY-5A Catalina|text=Large Flying Boats|link_category=Large Flying Boat}}
In case the fleet fails to detect the enemy fleet, the fleet will not participate in the [[Aerial Combat|Aerial Combat Phase]].
Regardless of Detection success, the recons may also be shot down if the enemy fleet has significantly more fighters than equipped recons and the fleet contains no Carriers.
Although the displayed message indicates that Accuracy and Evasion have changed, testing has shown that it has no noticeable effect.
Enemy Abyssal fleets always succeed in Detection. PVP opponents however may fail detection, and therefore not launch planes in Aerial Combat.

Some rules are applied for shelling attacks:

* Standard and Light Aircraft Carriers (CV and CVL) are unable to shell if they are {{color|orange|'''moderately damaged (中破)'''}} or {{color|red|'''heavily damaged (大破)'''}}. This includes Installations that are of the Aircraft Carrier (CV) and Aviation Battleship (BBV) types.
** Armored Aircraft Carriers (CVB) are only unable to shell when heavily damaged instead.

* Ships that are able to attack submarines are forced to attack submarines as long there's at least one submarine alive.
* Ships that are able to attack submarines are '''forced''' to attack submarines as long there is at least one submarine alive (''see [[Anti-Submarine Warfare#Attack Behavior|here]]).
** Exceptions being [[Suzuya|Suzuya Kai Ni Kou]] and [[Kumano|Kumano Kai Ni Kou]].

* Ships may perform special attacks denominated '''[[Artillery Spotting]]''' and '''[[Special Attacks]]''', if applicable.
The firing order is defined when each of the Shelling Phase subphases starts, and will skip over sunk and retreated ships, or ships that have no means of attacking under any circumstances, such as a carrier with no bombers ''equipped'', a submarine, or a Wa-Class Transport Ship, for example.
The firing order is defined when each of the Shelling Phase subphases starts, and skips over ships unable to attack, such as damaged/deplaned carriers, or sunk/[[Evacuation|evacuated]] ships.
If a ship would normally be able to attack but currently is unable to, such as a carrier that is moderately damaged or lost all its equipped bombers, their turn will still be accounted for in the turn order. Ships that are unable to attack during their turn or sink before their turn will still take actionless turns.

In this phase, both fleets will take turns shelling the opposing fleet, with the turn order defined by each ship's range {{range}} stat. It's possible to increase a ship's range with proper equipment.
*In this phase, both fleets will take turns shelling the opposing fleet, with the [[Shooting Order]] defined by each ship's [[Range]] {{range}} stat. It is possible to increase a ship's range with proper equipment.
*The shelling order is '''Longest''' > '''Very Long''' > '''Long''' > '''Medium''' > '''Short''' > '''None'''.
**If two or more ships tie for range, the order between them is random.
;Notes
*"Longest" range is only attainable on certain ships, using range extenders (see [[Range#Range Extension|Range Extension]]).
**Unlike the other ranges, Longest does not have a proper in-game icon and so is just displayed as "Very Long".
*"None" range is mostly reserved for Abyssal Aircraft Carriers and Transport Ships.

If any of the enemy ships are still alive after Day Battle ends, a prompt asking if the player desires to pursue the enemy fleet into [[Night Battle]] will appear. Accepting this prompt will move the battle to Night Battle, starting with the conditions on which the Day Battle ended.
If the Day Battle was preceded by a Night Battle in the same node, such a prompt will not appear, and the battle will automatically end instead.
