Seaplane results in a horrible set up as well. That daytime CI isn't going to do much of a difference and you're gimping your AACI output which absolutely defeats the purpose of sortieing AACI set up Maya.

How can more +AA stat on the last slot be detrimental?

For starters, it has almost negligible benefits. Around +2% AACI rate and shoot down maybe 1 more plane. Then you consider the trade off of losing your Night DA by not choosing a red gun. Also, in a combined fleet, with Maya in your Main Fleet, you lose a more accurate and more powerful single attack by Maya. (My Maya has rekt trash abyssal DDs, with a FCF instead. Imagine what she can do with a main gun). And all that just for that 2% and maybe an extra plane shot down in normal AA calculation.

Really, you don't see any real veterans recommend AA Guns as a wildcard equipment. Unless it's 3-2 and you want to keep your DDs on Night DA
