The goal of this guide is to teach players how to effectively use AA guns for ships
of the United States Navy. Before continuing, please note that this is not a
comprehensive view: this is simply my own perspective and advice. Different people
will advocate different approaches towards using AA; anyone who feels that they
disagree with me are fully in their right to do so. However, based on my experience,
I believe that this is one of the most effective ways to utilize USN AA.

Note: for another approach towards AA, please read Cubone85's AA guide:

http://www.animemarketv2.net/AAA

While it's different from my approach, Cubone himself is also a highly skilled AA-er,
so heeding his advice in place of mine has its benefits.

This guide is divided into eight parts:

A. Introduction
B. Basic pointers for beginners
C. Basic Tactics
D. Important factors for AA
E. An evaluation of feasible AA guns
F. Which ships can best use AA
G. An escort's guide to protecting their charge
H. Advanced tips and tactics

I may add an FAQ at a later point if warranted, but for the time being, this guide will
consist of only the above eight parts.

That redline helps you estimate a plane's height which you can then use to adjust
gun angles accordingly.

36 degrees for the 5/38 Mk38L guns, 37 degrees for the 3/70 mk23N guns. These
are arguably the best sets.

The longest ranged US AA gun is the 6"/47 DP Mk16L gun, at 30 degrees, but it is
rarely used because of it's weight and low rate of fire (3.76 sec reload) and really
only works on the R slots of a Brooklyn.

Most definately, yes. AA is almost useless in auto FCS mode, as you need control of
your angles in order to hit anything. if you must use Auto FCS in a CL or larger (and
we recommend that you don't), skip AA guns completely.
