Mogami CL with x3 6.1 ...You can tear up planes easy...just gotta get that first hit
because of the long reload.


Charlie

hm....best aa ship......

-Kuma

many gun mounts, but since teamnf deleted the only decent jap aa guns, this is useless

-Yamato

14 guns mounts...but again, aa ship=only as good as its aa guns and teamnf really screwed
japan over in terms of AA guns

Right now I would have to go with the Tsukikei as the better Japanese AA ship.I
have placed guns on the Kitakami and the Akitsukikai. The Kitakami, dispite its high
number of guns, can not hit a thing. I suspect this is due to all of the guns being on
the same deck level. The Akitsukikai is effective, though not nearly as the German Z-
1. The Tsukikei is even more effective than the Akitsukikai, but without a true DP gun
you are vulnerable, as you have no torpedo bank to use. As a pure AA platform, the
Tsukikei is the better boat.

aaarghhh, do we care its 8.8 cm FlaK 18, 36, 37, or 43 L / 76 or .8 cm/76 (3.46") SK C/32
or flak 88 or 88 flak gun!!! *becomes hulk and goes on a rampage* seriously your right,
but cmon, did anyone not understand 88 flak gun?

Since you brought it up, the actual army designation for the German 88 was "8.8 cm
FlaK 18, 36, 37, or 43 L / 76" and the naval designation is "8.8 cm/76 (3.46") SK
C/32"

fyi its not 88 flak its flak88 great peice though it can kill a tank wit 1 shot

what deso said. also, if you want a good AA shi, go use a german Z1 with 3.46" (the famous
88 flak gun) wich are available at 30 with AA gunners or go use the 5" AA guns on the Z99
(not enough space on Z1)

jap AA actually really sucks so.,..

So, is it ok if i TW level 2 arm sailors to lvl 40 and promote them MG gunners ? or
they will loose some skill points ?

i dont get the point promoting them asap as AA gunner or promoting them to
desired level ....


thanks a lot

AA gunners get exp only if they shot down plane or if you have normal gunners in lets say
Mogami they get the same exp as gunners.

Be prepared if you use only AA gunners if you wont shot down anything you get NO exp.

The best is to have two sets of both AA line in IJN tree. Train both Machine Gunners and
DP Gunners. For MG line you need only AAW so look for +12 AAW, for DP you need RLD and AAW
so look for +11 RLD/+12 AAW.

MG gunners to be effective need to be @ 40 lvl when you convert them. DP gunners, hmm that
a different story. There is two way to train him. One to convert him @ 20 lvl to AA gunner
and @ 42 to DP gunner. Second way is to keep Arm. Sailor till lvl 42 and then convert him
to DP gunner. One advantage is: your DP gunner get much more reload than when converting
@20 and then @42. Disadvantage is smaller AAW ability.

I doubt that any1 will sell AA gunners. If some1 will, even one will be very expensive.
Dont buy wrong AA gunners, dont trained properly (low level of experts and no vets (they
probably were TWhored to desired lvl).

AA guns, well 3" AA are bugged, any other twin turret will be OK. Good AA ships: Aki-Kai
with 3.9"D or A, Tsukikei also with 3.9"D or A, Kuma with 3"N. Dont use singles AA guns
because its pointless. The only problem is that except those 3 ships and high lvl CVs,
BB/CV Ise and Yamato any other IJN ship lack AA space. T slots are so small that you can
barely fit some AA with ammo. Another great thing to make IJN ship even weaker.
