*This clearly helps with preboss pass rates. However offence is the best defence, we would have killed everything first if we could.

As smoke reduces ASW accuracy for the allied side only, smoke and ASW are mutually exclusive.

*Smoke should also never be used when sorting a submarine fleet, as it only has drawbacks.

*Get Yamato to 37 {{Luck}}, this works for the first formula, and also crosses a threshold in the second formula.

*If a spare slot is remaining, an additional base Smoke can be used, then only 10 to 17 {{Luck}} is needed.

*For Event RTA, [[Musashi Kai Ni]] deserves luck modding too, as she can unlock the strongest touch, but she is rarely practical for most cases, notably in cases of routing hard-locks.

**There is a calculator for smoke rates as well at docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tEqI13g2LmzR0L8N-I39W6mgmAyc8DxJ-R0_qlEkjlQ/edit if this is useful. Aircalc uses Xe's formula when displaying Smoke rates.
