Right now, they are much more than useful. I should say way too good.
Long range AA, hitting hard. The 5,1" got its damage buffed and an awesome reload.
Haven't looked at the 6 yet.

Correct me if I am wrong, but main gunners with great AA is totally wrong, the problem
comes when SDE doesn't create AA gunners but Machine gunners instead.

Usable, but not great.

No specific "trait" except dual purpose.

Can we have a clarification on SN AA trait?

I will be making guide soon for AA however they are DP gunners with AA gunner range so to
me the trade off for DP guns with great range is the sailor weight is high because there
regular gunners. Thats just to make things simple I could go into vast detail and compare
SN aa to others as well.

I'll be using my Rld Elite's for the AA Gunners since French AA Classing and Soviet AA
Classing is identical in that you class both as chief gunners. Therefore you end up
having two sets of Chief Gunners.

Thanks !

SN nation will have no designated AA gunners or AA guns.
You will be able to use normal gunners for AA and main guns. There will be some
specific guns with good ability to AA (like the dual 3.9"/50 "Minizini") but you will
need no specially classed AA gunners to use them.

So as for your neut gunner's ability for SN AA:
good reload,
average Accuracy,
good repair + restore,
and class them like normal gunners...
