here's the deal, you phail (not fail) by saying an AA ship doesnt need speed, period! AND, as i said, when you play as AA ship, you dont play it for credits or EXP. If you want credits, get a CV, if you want experience, use a BB or a CA with NO AA shells. If you want EXPERTS in your crew, you get an AA ship.
anyway, it seems like the 6.1'' has crappy dmg if they're not AA guns(so i give you reason on that matter), which were the ones i used, otherwise the other variation does more dmg, and faster rld which is somehow more important. AND i was reffering to the 5'', not 4.7''!!
About the "taking more hits on a CA", its like this: mog CL has 9000 DP, and the CA variation has 13000 DP. A diference between then makes the CA having more 4000 DP, which is useless because a BB can take that dmg away with 2, 3 shells max. saying so, that advantage would only apply to an infime number of games, and yet, the Mog CA, if he does survive with that DP left, it will have reduced speed, THUS making him a more easier target to shoot. And yet, as you said, "With IJN guns you can stay well inside of BB line (unlike emdens) and have the range to shoot down planes easily.", so why crediting a ship which has more DP?!
PS- if you insist using the CA variation, then do one thing in the escort: take out the sonarman from him, DDs can detect subs without sonarman!|
