I think I gave a decent job explaining Akashi's improvement.

The important thing to take home regarding Akashi's improvement is that the hidden improvement equation is listed in this wiki's Akashi's improvement page under the "how to use" section. Yes, the data is experimental, and testers are testing for other possible equations.

Rather than following a cookie cutter example of just improving equipment to 6☆, I think it's more useful for players to know how the equation works, so the player can determine if improving a specific piece of gear is worth it for themselves.

I didn't forget the AP shell. Since only battleships can equip AP shells, a battleship with 6☆ guns and AP shell will actually have 4√6=9.8 worth of daytime firepower improvement. This setup is still pretty wasteful.

Learning the improvement cut offs, and knowing how the equation works is something players will have to eventually learn to better optimize their fleets.

Note: Myoukou can reach cap with 3x unupgraded quad torpedoes. Ten is too much. Please try your best not to spread misinformation.
