The only two mentions on this, that I have found via the search, were an (ignored) question in another thread and a thread from ...alpha, it seems. So here goes:
What's up with the 5" guns of the Cleveland? They are listed as DP AA guns, yet they never shoot a single round at the enemy. No, they don't. Don't tell me they do, because they don't. They clearly should open fire way before Bofors, let alone 20mm Oerlikon, but they never move, never level their guns up - they just aim to the left and right, like normal secondaries do - and most definitely do not shoot at the planes.
I tried manually setting a priority target on an enemy squadron. Nope, only normal AA shoots.
I gave my commander that AA cruiser bonus skill and activated it. Nope, only normal AA shoots.
What gives?
Now, I could swear that, while I was downloading the beta client, when Closed Beta went active, I was reading a "basic game controls" how-to on the news site, that is now no longer available, that said you had to toggle DP guns. Button was - I think - "Y" (which is the button used by that AA skill). So that doesn't lead anywhere. But, from Jingles' videos, I know that there are key controls that aren't listed. Like P to turn off your AA completely.
Any help?
