==Benefits and Uses of Reinforcement Expansions==
+
=Using Reinforcement Expansions=  
−
'''Reinforcement Expansions''' are mainly beneficial in helping providing your fleet with an edge in battle by allowing them to be able to use items and gear which would otherwise hinder the performance of your kanmusu without it. In most situations players will use the expansions to carry rations to boost moral, carry repair teams or goddesses to push thier fleet forward in situations where they may be otherwise be forced to return back to base (usually in events)and as of recent, allowing for you kanmusus to carry anti-air guns and Armor Bulges they would otherwise not use due to the restrictions they would place if placed in your equipment section.
 
  
−
They can also be used to gain a tactical edge in battle by allowing for your kanmusu to become more versatile in the process by allowing for ships such as [[Maya|Maya Kai Ni]] and the [[:Category:Akizuki Class|Akizuki-Class]] to be able to use Anti-Air Cut-Ins while also being able to conduct double attacks (in Day/and Night battle with [[Maya|Maya Kai Ni]] or Torpedo Cut-in Attacks during night battle.
+
The following conditions must be fulfilled before a RE can be used:
 +
 
 +
# The ship girl in question needs to be at least '''level 30'''.
 +
# There must be a Reinforcement Expansion in your inventory.
 +
 
 +
Not meeting either of these conditions will make you unable to even bring up the RE menu. Once both conditions have been met, follow the following steps:
 +
 
 +
# Proceed to the [[Remodel (Menu)|Remodel]] menu and select the girl you wish to use the RE on.
 +
# Mouse over the right side of her card and a notification saying '''"Add Extra Equipment Slots (補強装備を増設改修する)''' will appear.
 +
# Click on her card and a menu will appear asking you to confirm RE use.
 +
# Click on the '''Add Reinforcement Expansion (増設改修する)''' button to confirm.
 +
# An extra equipment slot will then be added to your ship girl.

Reinforcement Expansions are important because they allow your ship girls to carry utility equipment that would otherwise compromise their combat effectiveness. The chart below details what equipment can be equipped in the RE of a ship girl.
