On boss killing potential: TCI versus DA
This blog is a mathematical comparison between Kitakami / Ooi's two possible equipment setups. In other words, to torpedo cut-in (TCI) or to double attack (DA), that is the question.
There are three factors to consider:
- Trigger rate: 99% for DA. Luck-based for TCI, default is at 43% without yasen bonus for KTKM
- Likelihood of non-scratch hits: calculated based on boss's armor and ship's output.
- Likelihood of moderate damage: guessimate based on map analysis / sortie experiences
But first, let's cover the root of TCI vs. DA argument.

- 2 Health modifier
- 3 Likelihood of non-scratch hits
- 3.1 Scratch damage
- 3.2 Armor roll
- 3.3 Likelihood of non-scratch hits calculation
- 3.4 Example
- 4 Changing the odds
- 5 Making the decision (math free)
- To see how deep the r…

All maps are cleared on Hard mode without support expedition unless stated otherwise.
Mobile foundation and parting words
This will be my last blog post as an administrator of this wiki.
I informed relevant parties at least three months ago that I would return to active duty only till the end of the second drill. The time has come for me to retire. Reflecting on the time I spent as an administrator, I have done little to maintain the wiki and I have focused solely on advancing the visual and content aspects. This means my retirement will not hinder wiki operation in any ways, though technical supports for my existing templates and layouts will no longer be provided.

- 4.1 Editor's test

- 6 Bonus: Team Kadokawa's checklist
On June 13th, 2017, the outgoing third and fourth generation wiki staffs organized a mock-up KanColle event known as "Event Panic" Drill. The event was part of a training program we provided to foster the next generation of capable editors who can handle the intensity of a real KanColle event.
The exercise caused some confusions among our patrons; as of writing this, we have at least eight instances of wiki users mistaking the exercise for a real KanColle event. In hindsight, I do consider this fact a compliment. It is a testimony that we have successfully pulled off a very realistic emulation of the panic, the confus…
Fundamentals of wiki templates

Whenever you encounter a fancy element in an article, a comment, or another user's personal page, chances are, that fancy element is the result of a template. Templates are the most used, most powerful and also most sophisticated tools in a wiki. They reduce the amount of copy-pasting editors have to do. They make things simple and allow new editors to produce strongly visual elements whose back-end code would burn anyone's eyeballs out.
But, even the simplified version of the back-end code can be too much at times. And to make matters worse, many templates don't come with a user manual or they do come with one but it's incomplete and …
