===Shelling damage calculation===
===Damage calculation===
All damage dealt by support expedition follows the rule for [[Combat#Basic_Attack_Power|regular combat]], with one exception: Aerial support does not get the +25 to the Base Attack Power. Thus, each attack uses the following formula for damage: <math> \text {Modifier} \times \text {(Bomber's Dive Bomb or Torpedo stat)} \times \sqrt {Number \space of \space Planes}</math>, where Modifier = 1.0 for dive bombers and either 0.8 or 1.5 (50% chance of either) for torpedo bombers.
