Speed represents the speed of a ship. Ship are either slow (低速) or fast (高速) by default. As of the 10 Jan 2017 Update, ship speed can be further increased to fast+ (高速+) or fastest (最速) by using a combination of Engine Improvements: a Turbine with one or more Boilers
.
Overview
There are several effects of increasing ship speed:
- Meeting routing requirements:
- Fleet speed affect certain map routing.
- Combined Fleet composition:
- BB/BBV that are fast+ can be placed in the escort fleet of STF/TCF (only fast for Warspite Kai).
- Evasion increase.
- Although this has been stated by the developers to occur, testing has not shown any significant increase in evasion.
- Because Coastal Defense Ships (DE) and No.101 Landing Ship cannot equip Engine Improvements, they are the only ship type that cannot be sped up.
Speed Change Charts
It is highly recommended to have a Reinforcement Expansion on ships that are sped up. Ships sped up without using a RE will have severely degraded combat efficiency.
So far, only 2 types of "boiler" exist in the game, and they are referred to as:
- Enhanced Kanhon Type Boiler = +10 Boiler
- New Model High Temperature High Pressure Boiler = +13 Boiler
All synergies listed below already include 1 Improved Kanhon Type Turbine because it is an absolute requirement for speed ups.
