Other auxiliaries should not focus on the anti-installation role. However, they can still utilize anti-installation equipment, such as in TP phases.

{{details|Land-Based Air Squadron}}
This section covers how to correctly setup the land base. There are two types of LBAS, the '''attack LBAS''' and the '''defense LBAS'''.
The steps to setup an attack LBAS are the following
#Range
#Air power
#Attack power
These steps are explained in the corresponding tabs.
*Regarding cost:
**LBAS setups need careful planning because each plane changes the bauxite {{bauxite}} cost.
**Also, when a plane is removed from an LBAS, it becomes unavailable for 12 min (or down to 6 min if the LBAS is leveled).
*Regarding carrier-based planes:
**Due to some innate bonuses, a land-based plane will be superior to a carrier-based plane with similar stats. Also, due to complex calculations, relying on displayed stats alone to judge a plane's land-base performance is tricky. So it is recommended to compare planes using the attack power and fighter power calculated on the table summary at the end of the [[LBAS#Plane Stats Summary|LBAS]] page.
*Regarding plane order:
**Considering that, enemy air raids can destroy planes on the first two slots, the weakest plane should be put on these slots, generally the recon and/or the fighter.
*Regarding air power:
**Be carefull the {{Color|tomato|'''sortie air power'''}} is different that the {{Color|yellow|'''defense air power'''}}.
**A plane can be good at one but bad at the other.
**The difference between the two is the ''weight'' of each stat.
**It is recommended to check the table at the end of the [[LBAS]] page with both air power calculated.
**Note that only {{ToolTip|'''[[Interceptor|Land-Based Fighters/Interceptors]]'''|{{LB Fighter 1}}{{LB Fighter 2}}{{LB Fighter Jet}}{{LB Shinden}}}} have "interception" {{Interception}} and "Anti-bomber" {{Anti-Bomber}} stats.

|-|Range=
The first constraint is to have an LBAS that can reach the target.
Indeed, maps with land-bases have a '''range''' attributed to each node, which is a representation of the distance between the land-base and the node. On the other end, the LBAS has a '''combat radius''' which is the minimum combat radius of the planes equipped in the LBAS.
===Example with 6-5===
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed">
Here is the range of every node on [[6-5]]. It can be observed that the farther a node is from the land base marked by a "AB" cross, the higher the "range" of the node is. To reach the boss, the LBAS needs a combat radius of 5 or more.{{Clear}}
[[File:World 6 6-5 Map LBAS Range.png|500px]]
</div>
The combat radius can be extended by equipping a [[recon]] plane on the LBAS. The extension depend of the combat radius of the recon, consequently the most used are the {{Flying Boat}} [[Type 2 Large Flying Boat]] and the {{Flying Boat}} [[PBY-5A Catalina]] because they are the recon with the highest combat radius. On the other hand {{Land-Based Recon}} {{Equipment/Link|Type 2 Land-based Reconnaissance Aircraft|Type 2 Land-based Reconnaissance Aircraft (Skilled)|Mosquito PR Mk.IV|text=Land-based Recons|link_category=Land-based Reconnaissance Aircraft}} while having less combat radius mitigate the loss of an attack plane by giving an attack and air power bonus.
The choice to use or not a recon is a complex one, which depends on the situation and the plane available. As LBAS have only 4 slots, losing one for a recon is a huge loss in attack power, so the trade off must be consequent like:
*Allowing the use of more powerful attackers (with some notable ones having very short combat radius),
*Allowing the use of fighters to mitigate the plane shot down (fighters have at most a combat radius of 7),
*Allowing to reach nodes with very high ranges (11+).
;Note
*Having a recon on the LBAS also allows the [[contact]] to trigger.
*On some event maps, the land-base position may change, and with it the range of every node.
*Not to be confused with the [[Range]] {{Range}} stat for ship.
|-|Air power=
Each LBAS plays a complete [[Aerial Combat|Air Battle]], which includes the battle for air superiority that uses {{Color|tomato|'''sortie air power'''}}. As such, it is recommended to try to achieve at least {{Color|red|'''AD'''}} on every LBAS, bringing the following benefit:
*Reduced LBAS proportional plane shot down,
**Note that attack power is proportional to slot size, so reducing the plane shot down increases attack power,
*Increased enemy fighters shot down, which eases the air state requirement for the following LBAS waves and the fleet,
*Allowed [[contact]] to trigger if a [[recon]] is present (except in '''AP''').
For that purpose, one or two [[fighter]]s may be equipped in the LBAS. Also, choosing attack planes with higher air power (which increases with improvement) can make the difference.
;Notes
*Full fighter LBAS can be used to help a fleet achieve {{Color|green|'''AS'''}} for event gimmick.
*The LBAS are sent in order, and each LBAS wave reduces the enemy air power, so LBAS 1 needs more air power than LBAS 2, which needs more than LBAS 3.
*To fine-tune air power, use the ''[https://noro6.github.io/kc-web/#/aircalc air simulator]''.
|-|Attack power=
The choice of the attack planes depends on the target's nature.
;Surface LBAS
Usually, the goal of an LBAS on a boss node is to clear the escort, especially if it includes abyssals capable of [[opening|opening attacks]].
As a general rule for [[Land Based Bomber]]s, the {{Torpedo}} stat is used against surface ships and the {{Dive}} stat is used against [[installation]].
<br>
Do mind the "[[LBAS#LBAS Special Bombers|special bomber bonuses]]" and other moddifiers, especially:
*{{IconText|{{LB Fighter 2}}|bomber}} {{Equipment/Link|Bomb-carrying Type 1 Fighter Hayabusa Model III Kai (65th Squadron)}}, which despite having low stats, has unmatched attack power against [[DD]] at the cost of doing basically nothing against everything else.
*{{LB Attacker}} {{Equipment/Link|B-25}}, which despite having a low {{torpedo}} stat, has different bonuses for each ship type, which makes it powerful, notably against DD and CL.
*{{Large Land-based Aircraft}} {{Equipment/Link|Shinzan|Shinzan Kai|link=Heavy Bomber|text=Land-Based Heavy Bombers}} which despite high stat are {{Color|red|'''extremely weak'''}} due to multiple reasons.
The other elements that affect the choice of the attack planes are:
*The plane [[Anti-Air Resistance]]
*As previously mentioned, the plane air power {{AA}}
*The event map bonuses

;ASW LBAS
Just use {{LB ASW}} {{Equipment/Link|Prototype Toukai|Toukai (901 Air Group)|text=Toukai}}.
|-|Defense LBAS=
The purpose of a defense LBAS is to protect the land base from [[LBAS#Land Base Air-Raid|enemy air raid]], which costs resources. Also, achieving {{Color|green|AS}} during an air raid is often used as a gimmick during events.<br>
<br>
Setuping a defense LBAS is straightforward. First, having 2 [[:Category:High Altitude Interceptors|High Altitude Interceptors]] is almost mandatory for medium and hard modes in events. Then put the interceptor with the best {{Color|yellow|'''defense air power'''}} in the remaining slots.
