*** For example, a 32HP DD has a 15.5% chance of being '''{{Taiha}}''' by a BB Hime, while a 31 HP DD has just a 6.5% chance

*** This has great implications when marrying ships, 36 HP has one of the highest chances of a taiha

** Odd-numbered HP is better when overkill protection is triggered. This is because the damage calculations round down, reducing the likelihood of being knocked down to heavy damage.

** Therefore ships with maximum HP that are divisible by 4 have worse survivability.

** Therefore ships with maximum HP that are divisible by 4 have worse survivability.

*** This theory is most applicable to ships '''at full HP'''. Once a ship starts taking damage, the utility of overkill protection is unchanged. Therefore sometimes it becomes better survivability from an overkill damage.

*** For example, max 6 HP [[Maruyu]] has no chance to be taiha by an overkill hit, because max 4 damage remains HP 2 /6 still >25% HP. So does it for a damaged ship who remains 6 HP, if her max HP < 8.
