So VU has got 4x70mmAA guns and 12 decorative 66mm guns. My question is why WG didn't decided to convert decorative guns into AA - please don't raise the 'realism' argument. Even with 16 of these pew, pew peashooters you could hardly defend the ship, but would have at least a chance to shoot-down a T4 plane or two before attack. With only 4 it's like Imperator Nikolai where shooting down a plane should be logged, printed and framed on the wall as a proof. Really VU lands in so many games with 4 carries that you're total target practice for T4/6 and usually fist target on the list. The should be a premium camo for VU: 'CV free frag'. Written on the hull. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Difference is, that they used 4.guns in DP mount and rest with anti-surface mounts. There is no real reason, exept full historic (that ship only had 4.DP mounts histotically), why WG could have not but more DP mounted 7.cm guns. Because historically, DP mount used the same deck space and deck mountingpoints as did non-DP mounts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[-TPF-] invicta2012 Players 6,112 posts 25,326 battles Report post #4 Posted October 10, 2019 Presumably because the main batch of those 66mm guns was surface only and WG doesn't count them even for secondaries? It is a bit cruel to send VU out in authentic WW1 outfit when she's facing WW2 ships. A little "what if..." work on a fictional AA/secondary refit wouldn't go amiss.
