+# Transport Point (TP) Calculation Rules
+
+This document records only the TP calculation rules for transport operations in the browser version of Kantai Collection and the sources behind them; it does not discuss program implementation.
+
+Source check date: 2026-09-01; supplementary check: 2026-09-15.
+
+This document was first recorded during the 2026-09-01 source-recovery check. On that day the Japanese "艦これ攻略 Wiki" and "ぜかましねっと艦これ！" were read and checked, while the English KanColle Wiki could not be re-read because of a Cloudflare restriction, so its content relies on a check summary from an earlier session.
+
+2026-09-15 supplementary check: the full normal-transport and tank-transport tables on "ぜかましねっと艦これ！" were re-read, and the values and inter-source discrepancies listed here all matched that day's reading. On the same day the Japanese "艦これ攻略 Wiki" could not be re-read because of a Cloudflare restriction, and the English KanColle Wiki was not re-checked this time.

+
+## Notation
+
+For the ships and equipment valid at the landing point, define:
+
+```text
+ShipBase = sum of ship-type base TP
+ItemBase = sum of equipment-category base TP
+Base     = ShipBase + ItemBase
+```
+
+Kinu Kai Ni additionally grants a `+8` TP bonus equivalent to one Daihatsu landing craft, which is supported by the Japanese source. For a single unarmed Kinu Kai Ni in normal transport, this bonus is added to the light cruiser's own `2` TP, giving `10` TP; the above describes only the single-ship case and does not establish that multiple Kinu Kai Ni would each stack.
+
+## Normal transport
+
+Pre-settlement contribution:
+
+```text
+NormalRaw = Base + KinuBonus
+```
+
+The source notes that decimals are dropped only at the very end of the whole calculation; you must not floor each ship or each piece of equipment separately and then add them.
+
+All ship-type base values, equipment-category base values, and the Kinu Kai Ni `+8` listed for normal transport are integers, so `NormalRaw` is always an integer. The final result is:
+
+```text
+S rank: floor(NormalRaw)
+A rank: floor(NormalRaw × 0.7)
+B or below: 0
+```
+
+Because `NormalRaw` is an integer, `floor(NormalRaw × 0.7)` and `floor(floor(NormalRaw) × 0.7)` are equivalent, so normal transport has no intermediate-rounding-order issue.
+
+### Ship-type base TP
+
+| Ship type | S rank base value |
+| --- | ---: |
+| Destroyer | 5 |
+| Light cruiser | 2 |
+| Training cruiser | 6 |
+| Aviation cruiser | 4 |
+| Aviation battleship | 7 |
+| Fleet oiler | 15 |
+| Seaplane tender | 9 |
+| Landing ship | 12 |
+| Submarine aircraft carrier (SSV) | 1 |
+| Submarine tender (AS) | 7 |
+| Other ship types | 0 |
+
+### Equipment-category base TP
+
+| Equipment category | S rank base value |
+| --- | ---: |
+| Daihatsu-class and Toku Daihatsu-class landing craft and their tank variants (大発動艇系、特大発動艇系) | 8 |
+| Special Type 2 / Type 4 / Type 4 Kai amphibious tanks (特二式内火艇、特四式内火艇、特四式内火艇改) | 2 |
+| Drum Can (Transport) (ドラム缶(輸送用)) | 5 |
+| Combat rations (戦闘糧食系) | 1 |
+| Other equipment | 0 |
+
+Equipment improvement level does not change TP.
+
+## Tank transport / Landing Operation
+
+Tank transport rules depend on the map; a value observed in one event must not be treated as a permanent, universal rule for all maps.
+
+For the rule observed in the 2026 summer event, a `0.75` multiplier is applied uniformly to the normal ship-type base values and equipment-category base values, and the specific-equipment bonus is added on top:
+
+```text
+LandingRaw = Base × 0.75 + ItemSpecificBonus
+```
+
+According to measured values from the same period, the Kinu Kai Ni `+8` does not participate in the `0.75` scaling in tank transport:
+
+```text
+LandingRaw = Base × 0.75 + ItemSpecificBonus + KinuBonus
+```
+
+Evidence level: the `+8` itself is supported by the Japanese source; that it is unscaled in tank transport, and that it is counted at most once across the whole combined fleet, are only measured/existing behavior lacking direct source documentation, and remain unconfirmed.
+
+Before settlement, `LandingRaw` is kept unrounded. Neither the rounding timing nor the A-rank intermediate-value order is determined, so we do not assert `floor(LandingRaw × 0.7)` as a confirmed total formula here; the settlement forms mentioned by the sources but not yet confirmed are:
+
+```text
+S rank: floor(LandingRaw)
+A rank: floor(LandingRaw × 0.7)
+B or below: 0
+```
+
+### Specific equipment bonus
+
+The "bonus" column below is added on top of `normal category base value × 0.75`. The "tank transport S value" column cross-checks the formula.
+
+| Equipment | Normal base value | Bonus | Tank transport S value |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Daihatsu Landing Craft (R35 & French Infantry) (大発動艇(R35＆フランス兵)) | 8 | 18 | 24 |
+| Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Type III Tank J (特大発動艇＋III号戦車J型) | 8 | 17 | 23 |
+| Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Type 1 Gun Tank (特大発動艇＋一式砲戦車) | 8 | 15 | 21 |
+| M4A1 DD | 8 | 14 | 20 |
+| Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + 11th Tank Regiment (特大発動艇＋戦車第11連隊) | 8 | 13 | 19 |
+| Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Chi-Ha Kai (特大発動艇＋チハ改) | 8 | 13 | 19 |
+| Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Type III Tank (North African Specification) (特大発動艇＋III号戦車(北アフリカ仕様)) | 8 | 13 | 19 |
+| Toku Daihatsu Landing Craft + Chi-Ha (特大発動艇＋チハ) | 8 | 11 | 17 |
+| Daihatsu Landing Craft (Type II Tank / North African Specification) (大発動艇(II号戦車/北アフリカ仕様)) | 8 | 10 | 16 |
+| Daihatsu Landing Craft (Type 89 Tank & Marines) (大発動艇(八九式中戦車＆陸戦隊)) | 8 | 8 | 14 |
+| Toku Daihatsu / Daihatsu / Armed Daihatsu / Armored Boat (AB) (特大発動艇、大発動艇、武装大発、装甲艇(AB艇)) | 8 | 0 | 6 |
+| Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank Kai (特四式内火艇改) | 2 | 12 | 13.5 |
+| Special Type 2 Amphibious Tank (特二式内火艇) | 2 | 11 | 12.5 |
+| Special Type 4 Amphibious Tank (特四式内火艇) | 2 | 10 | 11.5 |
+| Army Infantry Unit + Chi-Ha Kai (陸軍歩兵部隊＋チハ改) | 0 | 14 | 14 |
+| Type 97 Medium Tank New Turret (Chi-Ha Kai) (九七式中戦車 新砲塔(チハ改)) | 0 | 9 | 9 |
+| Type 97 Medium Tank (Chi-Ha) (九七式中戦車(チハ)) | 0 | 7 | 7 |
+| Army Infantry Unit (陸軍歩兵部隊) | 0 | 5 | 5 |
+| Drum Can (Transport) (ドラム缶(輸送用)) | 5 | 0 | 3.75 |
+| Combat rations (戦闘糧食系) | 1 | 0 | 0.75 |
+
+Example: the tank transport S value of Daihatsu Landing Craft (R35 & French Infantry) is:
+
+```text
+8 × 0.75 + 18 = 24
+```
+
+Normal ship-type base values are also multiplied by `0.75`. For example, a destroyer is `5 × 0.75 = 3.75` and a light cruiser is `2 × 0.75 = 1.5`.
+
+## Which ships count toward TP
+
+- Ships that were already heavily damaged or had retreated when entering the landing point, and the equipment they carry, do not count toward this transport's TP.
+- Heavy damage or retreat after entering the landing point does not affect the TP already landed.
+- Therefore, the fleet state used in the formula should be the state when entering the landing point.
+
+## Inconsistencies between sources
+
+In zekamashi's normal-transport table, a few Daihatsu-class items whose S rank is `8` are written as A rank `3.5`; the same page also states that A rank is `0.7` of S rank, while the 艦これ攻略 Wiki lists these items in a common `8 / 5.6` table. Both bases agree, so we adopt:
+
+```text
+8 × 0.7 = 5.6
+```
+
+In zekamashi's tank-transport ship-type table, the `0.75` and `5.25` values for the submarine aircraft carrier (SSV) and submarine tender (AS) appear to be swapped. Based on the normal base values `1` and `7` and the table's uniform `0.75` multiplier, this document reads them as follows; this item lacks independent direct confirmation and is treated as a suspected recording issue:
+
+```text
+Submarine aircraft carrier (SSV): 1 × 0.75 = 0.75
+Submarine tender (AS): 7 × 0.75 = 5.25
+```
+
+In addition, a paragraph updated on 2026-08-01 on that page says "2026秋イベントの一例" (an example from the 2026 autumn event), which does not match the update time or the event then current; this appears to be a textual misstatement, lacks independent direct confirmation, and does not affect the multipliers or equipment values in the table.
+
+## Not yet confirmed by the sources
+
+The rounding orders below only matter when non-integer contributions exist, i.e. tank transport (the `0.75` multiplier) and combined-fleet sums; in normal transport every term is an integer, so these issues do not arise.
+
+- Whether a combined fleet is rounded per fleet (main and escort separately, then summed) or summed as raw values and rounded once.
+- Whether the combined-fleet A-rank `0.7` applies to the two fleets' combined raw value or to some already-rounded intermediate value.
+- In tank transport, whether the Kinu Kai Ni `+8` is unaffected by the map multiplier; it currently has in-game value support but lacks explicit wording in the sources above.
+
+Until direct sources or game data that can distinguish these cases are available, none of these rounding orders should be written as a confirmed rule.
