Talk:Star Shell/@comment-134.102.26.217-20140620112529/@comment-25227601-20140923025007

It looks like the argument went in the correct direction.

Since according to the Japanese wikipedia (not kancolle wiki) page for "照明弾", flare and star shells both can be used, I think it's better we used a military terminology.

As a comment mentioned rightfully, flares have MANY uses, and flares are not used to illuminate enemy locations, BUT star shells/illumination rounds are.

It's not about being a 'militaryfag' or whatever, this is simply using the correct translation so people see the item for what it is - not what it is not (i.e. flares).
