In a day or two I will be able to take out my pensacola for a spin (lvling bo). Planning
on running some aa while having a bit of fun slinging 12" shells around (or 8" untill my
gunners can handle itthe 12s) My question is how much armor do i need to protect myself
from 8" shells. I read that the pensacola can armor whore and I would love to beat up on
my fellow CAs.

The only USN AA Guns with a 42 degree Golden angle:

Mark 30 5" 38 Cal Singles Mod 41 Ds

and

Mark 29 5" 38 Cal Duals A Variant.

the 5" singles I recommend only using on the Nevada Line CAs and BB1s and fletcher

The only A Gun worth while is the 6" DPs. Which I only recommend on the Monty, Midway and
Nebraska, when classed right. Otherwise I suggest not using them.


Also the Mark 29s are terrible AA Guns. Slower reload and same range and damage per shell
as the Mark 38s.

I recommend the 3" 70s Ns or Ds, 5" 38 cal MARK 38 L, N,Ds and mark 16 dual 6" 47 Cal DPs.

Depends on where you intend to play your Pensa.

If it's in GB, I suggest forget excess armor and go speedy. Ninja your ship to hit some
high level BBs and rush out of trouble. US deck armor isn't enough to bounce high level
BB shells.

Also you will need all that speed when you go flak spamming in a pensa. Love it when
you speed and shoot down a squadron of bombers or chase slow flyin scouts.

In blitz, well yeah you can armor all you want since hobbit wars room will offer no space
for you to run around anyway.

I looked at that weird too o.0...

But yea even if you use the 8"/55RF cal Mark 16 L with EBVE lvl gunners your
firepower is still just a shadow of what it could be even with the lightning reload
and block shot ability.

12" or 14" and the "standard" armor setup of .2" belt and bulge until you are about
to lose a knot is what i recommend. But I actually had more fun in Pensacola that way
so it's still just my opinion.
