Yea 2pdrs are pretty cool but if your planning on going AA ship you'd want "ack ack"
as your main weapon and 2pdrs as a back up. They just dont down planes easy
enough.

And yes you can shoot ships at low angle but if you do most people will hate you
and kick you from rooms because they kill sailors.

FC shells are fun to look at and surprise the heck outta newbies but are otherwise
useless. They deal no damage so don't bother with them.

It's a cool weapon, and a great source of lag, and... sorry no more advantages.

45 1 2pdr 1.57"/ 39 Mark VIII 51 ?5000 0.52 585 10 48 72

According to pjs tables...

Golden angle: 51.
5k cost, 0.52 reload, 585 muzzle velocity, 10 space, 48 weight, 72 trainspeed.

Most of its useless but it backs up the 51 degree shooting. Enjoy aa, its quite fun.

Use them at 51 degrees or therabouts. Only really good at shooting scouts I find. As
planes come straight towards you, increase the angle slightly ( takes practise ) Also
remember to lead the planes

I havent had much trouble against planes but what are the shells that light up light
fireworks?

Apparently, they nerfed our pom poms about 2 patches ago. They no longer kill crew. :(

They can be fired at 0째 to 70째

In my experience, they are not very good at killing planes. My BC has 10 PDRs on it, and I
have trouble taking out bomber squads coming straight towards me.

Horrible range - very small area where you can attack the planes.

They will strike ships for no damage and earn you a lot of enemies as they can still
kill crew. The prevailing thought seems to be to go with the 5.25 duals as they dish
out a lot more damage per hit and so will drop planes faster. Not speaking from
personal experience though, just from what I've gathered after reading all the posts
on the old forum.

AA guns can only be used against airplanes as far as I know.
You you are wasting time getting it.
