![]() ![]() Des Moines-class has great performance from the 127mmm DP guns but the 76mm guns for Medium AA is very, very nasty. It's no coincidence that the AA really ramps up when you leave Helena to go into Cleveland, because Cleveland has more of those 127mm DP guns. ![]() Outside the IX-X CL DP 152mm guns, it's the 127mm DP guns that are the heart of USN Cruiser AA performance. IX Seattle, X Worcester, and the IX-X RN CLs have the best AA ranges possible thanks to the DP (Dual Purpose) 152mm guns. When you hit Cleveland and Baltimore-classes, the AA gets stronger. ![]() Tier VIII+ USN Cruisers - Prior tiers of USN Cruisers may have decent AA DPS but range is an issue. Good AA ships? In broad terms, these are the generally good ones that one should not be surprised if they took some extent in AA Builds: Since the Cleveland was there and saved Musashi, the BB went on to top the XP charts. If Cleveland wasn't there, close enough to cover Musashi, the BB would have been dead meat. Musashi isn't exactly known for AA prowess, yet the Cleveland heavily mitigates what the TWO Carriers wanted to do. Even a AA Spec USN BB that is out alone, eats a bunch of focus attacks will lose AA mounts, and the CVs will then be able to attack it more easily.Ī great example of supporting air defense with other ships is this recent clip where a Cleveland escorts a Musashi from the focused attacks of TWO Carriers. A lone ship is more vulnerable to air attack. The universal answer is sailing with friends. ![]()
