Talk:QF 2-pounder Octuple Pom-pom Gun Mount/@comment-115.65.58.153-20161216065417/@comment-26874340-20170222094844

Where as Quad 40mm bofors was good at medium ranges, Octuple pom-pom was excellent at close ranges. Since KC doesn't have things like AA rings, they seem to do some kind of arithmatic, which allows Octuple to get the same AA rating as Quad Bofors.

Even Wargaming agrees. 1x Octuple pom-pom: 20DPS at 2.5km  vs. 1x Quad 40mm Bofors: 16DPS at 3.5km

Bofors has more range, but less AA DPS per mount and the only reason why USN ships get crazy AA is because they had a ton of these Quad bofors mounted on the ships.
