  • whats guns were they

I was in a gb2 the other day and I saw a guy shooting what looked like AA flak ... when my
ship does it .. they are really tiny yellow pellets barely able to see them and there is
only 1 stream coming from my ship when a plane comes into range of me.

but this guys ship was shooting these things like no tomorrow. his boat was almost covered
by a spray of gunfire I have never seen before.

turns out he was driving a Emerald. the gunfire was NOT normal big gun flak that explodes
in the air .. these were like machine guns tiny pellets... any idea what guns they were so
I can look them up and check them out ...

from what I have read so far the emerald looks like a fun ship to try out ... so I am
considering getting a crew together and trying one out.

unfortunantly I am poor so it will take awhile to scratch some credits and level a crew. I
dont know how these guys get millions of credits to throw around when I would be lucky to
get the 100k I need for the boat in 2 weeks

anyway ... I have some ijn ships .. how do I level a uk crew quickly? , do I just level
them as nuetral on my ijn boats until they hit level 25 then convert them?

I am on the yamato server if anyone has extra sailers (gunmen or AA guys .. not sure what
I would need)kicking around they dont want I wouldnt say no to a donation :) (doesnt
matter how good they are)anyone spare a few credits from their vast fortunes to me , a guy
who plays a couple hours here and there to unwind I would very much appreciate it.

looking forward to shooting down some planes ... I like being a team player more than out
for myself type ... I was thinking about getting a small cv in ijn and level fighter
pilots ... for air cover .. but it just takes so long to level the guys up. So I figure
this might be even better for me ... plus I guess you can load 2 ammo types in the guns
so I can shoot at subs and other DD as well as provide air cover for bigger ships.

thanks

They will never get HE rounds since you class them as AA gunners not DP gunners

51 is no longer the golden angle after the pom poms range got buffed. It's around 47~49

pompoms are very good for close action if you know how to use them...angle 51 is
golden angle.. angle 18 and less will take out low lvl TB's. The other advantage is
they are very light and so you can either have more speed or more armour.
They have recently had their range increased so a little better now... i was first to
get pompoms in NFNA and have used them ever since on BB's... for an AA ship ( CL )
I use 5.25A's, golden angle 36...:)

it wasnt a eventship
they just put in a cl for every nation, that you can use with every bo, that hits the lvl

Yes, once you get to the ship level it will show in your new ship purchase list.

The ship use to be an event ship, which means you had to win it in an event, but sometime
back they made it available to all. (I think)

Since it is not on any ship line any BO with the appropriate level can use it.

awesome .. thanks ...

they look cool but seems in general they are not worth using... from what i read in your
search link.

so I should level gunners with high reload and get some rp10 guns.

Also can I buy an emerald normally like other ships? I am a bit confused by the ship tree
I am looking at , that says it is an event ship ... not sure what that means...

Pom Poms

2pdr 1.57"/ 39 Mark VIII

Only usable by AA gunners. They are A variant guns, so you can't load different ammo's
