No offense, but allow me to be straight and say this is probably an error of perception.
I would like to believe that you are experienced with the AA.
However, I have leveled up my UK crew from scratch, using Main gunner and Classed AA gunners.

I don't see how UK AA can outclassed SN AA, when UK AA in general have shorter range and
so far, on the test server it is clearly obvious SN AA is better than UK.

Unless, they have screwed up something during the patch on the main server, which I doubt,
else Angus would have made a thread about it.

If you feel I am totally wrong, please explain more. Because right now, AA range is the
one of the main factor that makes it good, with a damage acceptable. In this context, I am
refering to the 5" and above as AA. Which can be carried by T slot on low lvl ship and
some R slot, depending on the ships cruising.


By saying they need to be adjusted, nerfing and buffing context applies, such as the gun
weight fix, requirement space, reload, golden angle.

Some AA guns needs to be better where the true definition of useable, while other needs to
be fix.

Almost all of my AA is fairly tight right now, and I get outclassed by UK AA quite
easily currently.

My friend you should try UK AA.
You will need to lvl your gunners a bit more. All low lvl gunners in all nation will blow
at AAing. That does include KM also.
The danger comes when you reload cap it.

You would wonder why KM AA becomes obviously overkill with reload cap, and is much more
overpowered if the spread happens to block.

If you can't hit, either you aimed correctly, but the shotgun spread makes you unable to
shot down a planes.
It is a common issue.

I have zero complaints over the AA right now, I've grinded out nearly 30 levels on
this stuff and its a roll of the dice even while using a Maxim Gorky. Several games I
can't knock down a single plane and most games I only get one plane. I'd call it
useable but not good AA. Even with their ranges now the shells are very weak and
sometimes take up to six hits for a decent level plane.

I just toss in the towel when its a large formation of planes as there just isnt the
damage or at least reload on the guns to compensate for massive amounts of
planes.

Are you sure they are range change? Remember they fix the 4,1" without altering much.
And that's the problem for balancing innapropriate, some of the guns just deserve to have
their HE and AP remove completely.

And that's their own problem for having faulty stuff because they just throw random number
at it.

Those are "range" changes, which SDE hates >.>

And a golden angle nerf as well for some of the range AA.

If anything was to be done to SN AA, 2 of the gunsets may get slight reload buffs.

As far as I'm concerned, SN AA is almost in the right place between US/UK and
IJN/MN/KM
