It blockshots only, if you know how to class your UK AA gunners.
But most people( over 90%+ based from my experience) messed up classing the UK AA gunners.
Therefore, people start complaining UK AA gunners suck because they got crappy spread and
reload.

do that turret blockshot?
or just a AA gun?

do that turret blockshot?

Very very nice necro...but since it talks about a legit topic it can definitely stay :P

Well, fighters are only really a problem if they're somewhat over you so you can't launch
a scout; otherwise if you can force them to move their fighters away from you, more often
than not, you can sneak a scout out as long as your ship is pointed away from the fighters.

The pompoms range is to low to even harrass well managed fighters or scouts.

And some people always manage them, aka not noobs.

Well, there is more to it than that.

Even against people who know how to manage their planes, you force them to continually
control their planes or they get spammed with the 밒'm hit, I'm hit?sound effect, which
gets to be pretty annoying. If they decide to move them away, you can then launch a scout.
If they keep them circling around you, then they risk losing the planes.

But really, if they're focused on continually managing their planes over you, then they
aren't focused anywhere else, and honestly, if their planes are dying slowly, then they
waste more time on the flight over you than the flights elsewhere.

I won't argue with your points on bombers and noobs, because I agree they are useful
against them.

With that range, they are useless against anything but bombers or people that have
absolutely no idea how to manage their planes, aka noobs.

No,

If you know how to use them, they can be pretty effective, for UK AA I mean.

Yes, they look cool.

But thats not much.
