Massive AA Fire... Can somebody tell me?

[valoaa]

Can somebody please tell me why "Massive AA Fire" is crossed out on my captain currently on my (reset line) North Carolina?

 

This captain has been sitting on my Missouri from back in the day when "Manual AA" was actually useful on the original, original AA system.

 

I've reset my US battleship line and have reached North Carolina but just noticed this. I can't work out why...

because the new MAA doesn't make much sense on ships with good AA

Basically WG now say the skill is not suited to the NC. You can still take it, but they don't think it's a good use of 4pts.

Not only they...

The skill is for ships with bad AA and even there it is questionable.

 

Would you get the instant damage increase in addition to the time limited AA buff, it would be worth it.

Fair enough, that does make sense.

Yeah I understand, as mentioned this was left on an old captain from the old Manual AA.

 

Don't want to waste points to reset captain just yet...

the skill still applies, it just that the game thinks it's a bad idea to use it on that particular ship...
