You missed the point, I was referring to its underwhelming FP for a gun that is supposed equipped on heavier/higher FP ships like CAs (as you mentioned). The anon made a valid reasoning, although that doesn't change the fact that its pretty impractical.

The problem is opportunity cost, a DD with an AACI setup has basically no penalty to their combat ability while the heavier ships lose quite a bit of FP to use this (and lose DA capability), which is why I was saying it could have a bit more FP.

But to be fair, I suppose that's the tradeoff for having AACI capability without needing to bring a fragile DD.
