If it could help, here are some brief conclusions about the trigger rate of Artilery Spotting:

( Concluded from the source:   http://kankoregouchin.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-23.html  =艦これ-チラ裏検証= )

1. Before we start, let's assume a "standard situation", where  total   fleet LoS = 300 and Air Supremacy. Then from the test results we could probably see that:

- A CA/BB equipped with 2 main guns & 1 seaplane scout has a double-attack rate ~ 50%.

- A CA/BB equipped with 1 main gun, 1 secondary & 1 seaplane scout has a cut-in rate ~ 50%

2. As total fleet LoS increases to 400, the trigger ratess increase significantly:

- Double-attack rate +8% per 100 additional LoS

- Cut-in rate +10% per 100 additional LoS

3. As an additional seaplane scout is added to the ship (now it has 2 slots of seaplane scouts)

- Double-attack rate +5%

- Cut-in rate + 2.5%

4. If we replace an extra seaplane with a radar, then compared to the standard situation:

- Double attack rate increases by 3%~10%, depending on the LoS value of the radar

- Cut-in rate increases by 20%~30%, depending on the LoS value of the radar

5. Different seaplane scouts vary slightly (up to ~4%) in the trigger chance bonus

6. If Air Superiority rather than Air Supremacy, then both rates decrease by at least 11%.

7. Being the flagship has a higher chance (+10%) of triggering Aritillery Spotting

8. AP shells could replace radars for a cut-in setup (main/ secondary/ AP/ seaplane), but the chance not as good as radars. However, you could use AP shells for a hybrid set up (main/ main/ AP/ seaplane), with around 33% chance to trigger either form of attack.

9. AP shell hybrid attack has a trigger rate which is affected by all the elements stated above (LoS, seaplane, etc). However, additional LoS seems to increase the cut-in much more than its double-attack rate.

10. Upon reaching 80%, there might be a form of "LoS cap" which shrinks the futhur bonuses.
