Special Attacks/Nelson-class Touch

Nelson and Rodney are able to perform a special attack:

• A Nelson-class must be the flagship.
  • Secretary for combined fleets.
  • She must not be more than lightly damaged (小破).
• The 3rd and 5th ships must not be any CV/CVB/CVL/SS/SSV.
  • They can be heavily damaged (大破).

• There must be 6 or more surface ships in the fleet.
  • There must be no submarine in 6-ship fleets. In 7-ship fleets, only 1 submarine is allowed.
  • There must be no surface ship in the fleet sunk or evacuated via FCF
    during a sortie, making the remaining total < 6. Ships in the escort fleet are not counted.

• In single fleet, Double Line needs to be selected.
• In a combined fleet, Cruising Formation 2 needs to be selected.

If triggered:

• The flagship will do a 1st attack,
• The 3rd ship will do a 2nd attack,
• The 5th ship will do a 3rd attack,
• Each attack targets a ship at random,
• If all enemies sunk, then touch stops early.

Red T	2.5	2.875	3.0

• The modifiers are post-cap on day battle, and pre-cap on night battle.
• There is an additional small Accuracy bonus of 1.05 [2].
• Even if the other two ships can attack submarines, they will never target them during the touch.

• It does not cost any extra resources if triggered.

The touch:

• Can be triggered even if artillery spotting fails to activate.
• Can only be activated once per sortie.
• Has a chance to trigger every time the flagship takes a turn at shelling.
  • In single fleet, if it fails to trigger in day battle, there is a chance to trigger it in the follow-up night battle.
• The rate is probably:

[math]\displaystyle{ \text{Trigger}_\text{Rate}\text{%} = \sqrt{\text{Lv}_\text{FS}} + \sqrt{\text{Lv}_\text{2nd}} + \sqrt{\text{Lv}_\text{3rd}} + \sqrt{\text{Luck}_\text{FS}} + \sqrt{\text{Luck}_\text{2nd}} + \sqrt{\text{Luck}_\text{3rd}} + \text{X} + \text{Y} }[/math]

With

• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv}_\text{FS} }[/math] the flagship's Level,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv}_\text{2nd} }[/math] the 2nd ship's Level,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Lv}_\text{3rd} }[/math] the 3rd ship's Level,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck}_\text{FS} }[/math] the flagship's Luck,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck}_\text{2nd} }[/math] the 2nd ship's Luck,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Luck}_\text{3rd} }[/math] the 3rd ship's Luck,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{X} }[/math] some yet unknown bonus variables,
• [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Y} }[/math] some yet unknown base rate.

It is notably affected by:

• The Level and luck stat of the participating ships,

It is currently measured above around 60~65 % if all three ships are lv.99.
