Jets were introduced in the [[Game Updates/2016/December 9|December 9th, 2016 Update]]. Jets possess the ability to perform a [[Aerial Combat#Jet_Assault_Phase|Jet Assault]] before the aerial combat phase.
  
−
===Mechanics===
+
=Jet List=
−
1. Jets can only be equipped by [[:Category:Shoukaku Class|Shoukaku-class Kai Ni A]] and place in [[Land-Based Air Squadron]]s.
+
"Jets" refer to "[[wikipedia:Turbojet|Turbojet]] propelled planes".
  
−
2. Using jets will consume steel.
+
Currently the game includes 4 planes with a turbojet:
 +
*{{JetFighterBomber2}} {{Equipment/Link|Kikka Kai}}, a "turbojet carrier-based fighter-bomber",
 +
*{{JetFighterBomber1}} {{Equipment/Link|Jet Keiun Kai}}, a "turbojet carrier-based fighter-bomber",
 +
*{{LB Fighter Jet}} {{Equipment/Link|Me 262 A-1a/R1}}, a "turbojet land-based fighter/interceptor",
 +
**So far it just behaves as a regular [[Interceptor]],
 +
*{{Fighter}} {{Equipment/Link|FR-1 Fireball}}, a mixed "piston engine propeller and turbojet carrier-based fighter",
 +
**So far it is just a regular [[Fighter]].
  
−
3. Having a jet equipped will allow a pre-emptive aerial attack known as '''Jet Assault'''.
+
In the following, only the [[Kikka Kai]] and [[Jet Keiun Kai]] will be treated as "jets", as they are the only ones having "jet behaviors".
−
* Jets will still participate in the following aerial combat phase.
+
*Rocket aircraft are also ignored as they have nothing to do with jets either, ''see [[Rocket|here]].
−
* [[Damage_Calculations#Airstrike|Damage]] during the jet assault is calculated the same way as dive bombers but damage during the airstrike phase is reduced.
 
−
** For LBAS jet assault, '''both''' jet assault and LBAS bombing use the lower multiplier.  
 
  
−
4. Jets have [[Anti-Air_Fire#Shoot_Down_Resistance|shootdown resistance]] that reduces the losses to anti-air fire.
+
=Mechanics=
 +
1. Two "jets" are currently available in the game, the {{Equipment/Link|Kikka Kai}} and the {{Equipment/Link|Jet Keiun Kai}}.
 +
*Carrier jets have unique equipment icons : {{JetFighterBomber2}} and {{JetFighterBomber1}} respectively
  
−
5. Jets will go through '''three''' different shoot down phases per normal battle.
+
2. Jets can only be equipped by {{ShipLink|Shoukaku Kai Ni A}}, {{ShipLink|Zuikaku Kai Ni A}}, {{ShipLink|Kaga Kai Ni Go}}, and {{ShipLink|Victorious Kai}}, and placed in [[Land-Based Air Squadron]]s.
−
* Anti-air during jet assault.
 
−
* Shoot down during air control.
 
−
* Anti-air during normal airstrike.
 
−
* It is unknown if the jet assault phase can trigger [[Anti-Air_Fire#Anti-Air_Cut-In|anti-air cut-ins]].
 
  
−
6. Jets '''do not count''' as dive bombers for the purposes of activating [[Carrier Cut-In Attack]]s
+
3. Using jets will consume steel{{steel}} in addition to bauxite{{bauxite}}.
  
 +
4. Having a jet equipped will allow a pre-emptive aerial attack known as '''[[Jet Assault]]''' (JA).
 +
* Jets will still participate in the following aerial combat phases.
 +
* [[Damage_Calculations#Airstrike|Damage]] during the jet assault is calculated the same way as dive bombers (x1.0), but damage during the airstrike phase is reduced (x0.7071).
 +
** For LBAS jet assault, '''both''' jet assault and LBAS bombing use the lower multiplier.
  
−
===Use Notes===
+
5. Unlike most planes, both jets are '''Long [[Range]]''' {{Range}}.
  
 +
6. Jets have a high [[AAR|Anti-Air Resistance]] that reduces losses to anti-air fire.
  
−
1. Since they use the dive bomber multiplier and have a weaker airstrike, their use against targets larger than a heavy cruiser is limited.

2. They are two of the three fighter-bombers with shoot down resistance. This makes them useful when needing to maximise fighter power while maintaining some striking power. The Kikka Kai is fighter-bomber with the highest anti-air {{AA}} in game.
+
7. Jets will go through '''three''' different shoot-down phases per normal battle.

* This usefulness is limited because they cannot be used to trigger CVCI.

* Anti-air during the Jet Assault.
 +
* Shoot down during Air Control.
 +
* Anti-air during the normal airstrike.

The jet assault phase cannot trigger [[AACI]].

3. The steel cost can add up very quickly. Especially when being equipped on the largest slots of Shoukaku and Zuikaku.
+
8. Jets '''do not count''' as [[Dive Bomber]]s nor [[Fighter]]s, and so cannot activate the [[CVCI]] or take part in it.

==Use Notes==
 +
#Since they use the dive bomber multiplier and have a weaker airstrike per plane, making their use against larger targets is limited if used alone.
 +
#They are "fighter-bombers" with a very hight [[Aerial_Combat#Anti-Air Resistance|AA resist]]. This makes them useful when needing to maximize fighter power while maintaining some striking power.
 +
#*Jets are the fighter-bombers with the highest AA {{AA}} and Dive Bombing {{Dive}} in-game, and among the only planes to provide Range {{Range}}.
 +
#*This usefulness is relative, since they cannot be used in a [[CVCI]].
 +
#The steel cost can add up very quickly, especially when being equipped on the largest slots of the CV.
 +
#*Note that equipping them in smaller slots limits their ability to contribute to air control and damage.

Jets were introduced in the December 9th, 2016 Update. Jets possess the ability to perform a Jet Assault before the aerial combat phase.

Jet List

"Jets" refer to "Turbojet propelled planes".

Currently the game includes 4 planes with a turbojet:

  • JetFighterBomber2.png Kikka KaiKikka Kai, a "turbojet carrier-based fighter-bomber",
  • JetFighterBomber1.png Jet Keiun KaiJet Keiun Kai, a "turbojet carrier-based fighter-bomber",
  • Land-based Fighter Jet Me 262 A-1a/R1Me 262 A-1a/R1, a "turbojet land-based fighter/interceptor",
  • Fighter FR-1 FireballFR-1 Fireball, a mixed "piston engine propeller and turbojet carrier-based fighter",
    • So far it is just a regular Fighter.

In the following, only the Kikka Kai and Jet Keiun Kai will be treated as "jets", as they are the only ones having "jet behaviors".

  • Rocket aircraft are also ignored as they have nothing to do with jets either, see here.

Mechanics

1. Two "jets" are currently available in the game, the Kikka KaiKikka Kai and the Jet Keiun KaiJet Keiun Kai.

  • Carrier jets have unique equipment icons : JetFighterBomber2.png and JetFighterBomber1.png respectively

2. Jets can only be equipped by Shoukaku Kai Ni AShoukaku Kai Ni A, Zuikaku Kai Ni AZuikaku Kai Ni A, Kaga Kai Ni GoKaga Kai Ni Go, and Victorious KaiVictorious Kai, and placed in Land-Based Air Squadrons.

3. Using jets will consume steelSteel in addition to bauxiteBauxite.

4. Having a jet equipped will allow a pre-emptive aerial attack known as Jet Assault (JA).

  • Jets will still participate in the following aerial combat phases.
  • Damage during the jet assault is calculated the same way as dive bombers (x1.0), but damage during the airstrike phase is reduced (x0.7071).
    • For LBAS jet assault, both jet assault and LBAS bombing use the lower multiplier.

5. Unlike most planes, both jets are Long Range Range.

6. Jets have a high Anti-Air Resistance that reduces losses to anti-air fire.

Plane Air State Modifier Ship AA Modifier Fleet AA Modifier
JetFighterBomber1.pngJet Keiun KaiJet Keiun Kai 0.6 0.5 0.7
JetFighterBomber2.pngKikka KaiKikka Kai 0.6 0.5 0.5

7. Jets will go through three different shoot-down phases per normal battle.

  • Anti-air during the Jet Assault.
  • Shoot down during Air Control.
  • Anti-air during the normal airstrike.

The jet assault phase cannot trigger AACI.

8. Jets do not count as Dive Bombers nor Fighters, and so cannot activate the CVCI or take part in it.

Steel Cost

The steel consumption of jets is:

Steel consumption formula
[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Jet Phase Cost} = \sum^{\text{All Jets} } \lceil \text{Plane Count} \times \text{Steel Cost} \rceil }[/math]
With
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Plane Count} }[/math] is the current plane count at the start of the battle.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Steel Cost} }[/math] is the steel cost per plane.
Notes
  • Take note that the costs are rounded up.
  • Jets only cost steel in nodes where they are used for jet assaults and airstrikes.
    • Night battles will not cost steel.
  • Steel is consumed upon returning to base.
    • This means jets can still be used even when having not enough steel for the sortie.
  • Because LBAS squadrons are refilled between waves, jets will always cost the full 18 planes per wave.

Use Notes

  1. Since they use the dive bomber multiplier and have a weaker airstrike per plane, making their use against larger targets is limited if used alone.
  2. They are "fighter-bombers" with a very hight AA resist. This makes them useful when needing to maximize fighter power while maintaining some striking power.
    • Jets are the fighter-bombers with the highest AA Anti-Air and Dive Bombing Dive Bomber Attack in-game, and among the only planes to provide Range Range.
    • This usefulness is relative, since they cannot be used in a CVCI.
  3. The steel cost can add up very quickly, especially when being equipped on the largest slots of the CV.
    • Note that equipping them in smaller slots limits their ability to contribute to air control and damage.

Acquiring Jets

Currently, the only way to acquire Jets is by obtaining several special items from Quests or ranking, that are necessary to obtain the Kikka Kai and produce the Jet Keiun Kai :

Ne-Type Engine
