i believe that guy was carrrying a lot of bombers, fighters dont get shot down that much...

anyway, teruzuki's butt and bewbs are <3 Even an aegis shooting WWII aircrafts won't score so well. A typical Aegis-equipped destroyer carries less than 100 missiles.

Supposedly, a WWII-era AA system (without VT fuse) should bring down one aircraft every 35,000 shots (yes, thirty-five THOUSAND shots), currently even non-AACI AA fires are actually too effective. Of course we can't let AAs be completely useless as they were, but shooting down 80% aircrafts from 6 carriers with one DD alone is just too much. i have not seen the test video but is there really no other ships than akizuki? why would one even bring 6 CVs fully loaded with only bombers anyway, by far this is the most ridiculous... we already know since the beginning of the bauxite horror we first got akagi, and that was before introduction of AACI

and the OP AACI we currently have are meant to defend out shipgirls from the abyssals, not fight among ourselves in PVP. from my little knowledge about ww2 i got from this game, i already knew that the japanese navy actually suck terribly in AA...

and why are you so against more OP AA DDs? is it because you cant use 6 CVs in PVP without heavy bauxite losses anymore?

im verry sorry, but i didnt mean to argue. lets just enjoy what the devs have in store for us.... http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm25694300

The video was intentionally made to examine Akizuki's AA power. That's why they use 6 CVs full of bombers against one single Akizuki. Akagi's bauxite problem was a bug, but AACI isn't being considered as one for now.

Carriers are even more underpowered in PVP than on usual sorties, AACI worsened this problem further. And let's face the truth: AACI is going to be added to Abyssals, sooner or later. If they don't change the AACI system before that happens, CVs will become officially useless when that day comes.
