Introduction

??

??

Mechanics

Amphibious Vehicles behave similarly to Landing Craft. They:

• Deal great damage to installation, being an essential component of the "nuke" (see Anti-Installation).
• Increase expedition resources gain.
• Greatly increase Resource Nodes resources gain.
• Slightly increase TP gauge drain during Transport Operations.
• Allow Submarines to participate in the shelling phase against Installations, by launching the tank in battle.

Can be equipped in the RE of I-36, I-47 Kai, and I-58 Kai.

Special Mechanic

Ka-Tsu Animation
Ka-Tsu:
Ka-Tsu Kai:

Uniquely on "Atoll Nodes", it is possible to deploy the Ka-Tsu tanks
to trigger a special Opening Torpedo Salvo.

• On those nodes, regular oTorp will not work,
• This can only be deployed by SS, SSV, and the AV Mikuma Kai Ni Toku, Nisshin A, and Mizuho Kai fast,
  • They must carry at least one Ka-Tsu tank,
• On the "atoll node", ships meeting those requirements will carry out a special opening torpedo attack,
• In night battle, those ships will additionally trigger the same attack as a cutin,
  • This attack overrides regular Night Cut-ins attacks (e.g. if a ship is setuped for a TCI, it will still trigger the Ka-Tsu attack).
• Using several Ka-Tsu tanks on a same ship will make it carry out several of those attacks in a row (day and night),
  • It capped at 2 attacks per ship at night.
  • This attack utilizes a new special animation, with the tank climbing the atoll's soil.

Notes

This equipment is often referred to by its official Japanese name "Ka-Tsu".

Not to be confused with other "Landing Equipment/Tanks" (see here).
