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.
