What do you mean "better AA" do you mean like the old days when a mino could kill 20 planes in a couple of seconds?

the problem with AP bombs is that they cant pen french BB but can citpen t8 light cruisers.

Ok lets talk here, as a cv player myself I see basically 3 issues 1. CV planes should never have provided VISION to team mates, only minimap awareness. 2. AP DB should have their fuse timer increased which increases their effectiveness against some BB and lowers it vs everything else, some CL become functionally immune to AP DB 3. Rocket planes should have been AP from the get go but have been AP/AP and AP/HE meaning only german cv now get AP rockets that can citadel and all other factions get APHE which could overpen. Lowered effectiveness vs DD but slightly raised effectiveness vs BB and some heavier cruisers like smolensk.

These days I'd say most teams are about equally mediocre.

I'm suprised people care that much. Call it the Schnitzel and be done with it.

That's pretty rich. With some practise I've gotten respectable with sniping BB and CV with Hak torps due to 6km range. But these 1.5km torps aren't going to be useful against Halland et al with their huge AA dps and 3 waves of flak. The thing about AA is its still very RNG, sometimes on an attack run you can be 0.5s away from a strike and a blob of flak deletes your entire wing. Some ships like Halland have all the bonuses going for them, they only become practical to strike mid or late game after they've taken some HE damage and lost their AA power. Other ships are too easy to strike but I get that not all ships should be equal. Even Kremlin fears the AP bomb.

I'd love to know why they aren't available on PTS yet then. Devs want to avoid toxic-shock?

I have the elite module for midway but i have no idea if its active or how to equip it. This UI is not telling me if it's active or not.
