Talk:10cm Twin High-angle Gun Mount + Anti-Aircraft Fire Director/@comment-27240709-20160116033106/@comment-24980562-20160116053033

There are so many things wrong with this comment I don't even know where to start...

"Huge resource and opportunity cost for small gains." Nope, Fire Directors cheap to mod and upgrade. Modding in general is pretty cheap except for end-game equipment, but by that point you should be able to afford it. And what is "opportunity cost" supposed to mean anyway? Also, Akiguns are literally the best DD guns in the game, I don't know how that qualifies as "small gains".

"The AACI isn't quite reliable enough on a non-Akizuki class." I beg to differ. Just look at Maya and Fubuki among others. Their AACIs aren't that bad, and in the case of Maya are actually better.

"DD damge in general is pretty meh." Not relevant for AACI. Besides, do you even night battle? Or branching rules for that matter? You have to use DDs pretty much everywhere, so why not boost their damage and let them shoot down planes?

"New admirals have much better things to do, i.e. cruiser/BB guns, shells." Actually, no. They get enough cruiser/battleship guns just from remodelling them, especially those with Kai-2, and shells are easily crafted. And how does that have anything to do with equipment upgrading? You can do both modding and equipment crafting just fine. Like I said, modding isn't expensive until you get to the top-tier stuff, and sometimes not even then.

"Veteran admirals can benefit, but by that point it really doesn't matter since they would have a couple from the Akizuki class by then." Then what about players who DON'T have any Akizuki-class destroyers? What are they supposed to do? Just throw their hands up? If they don't have them then modding is the only way to got these guns. And don't tell me they should use the Fire Directors themselves. They're a waste of space.

"I mean do we really think they're going to lock out the Akizuki class after finally letting them drop?" You're making it sound like they're such easy drops that everyone can farm several of them without breaking a sweat. I don't even have to prove you wrong, the Event pages' comment sections have already done that.

"I'm surprised and confused when veteran admirals (like HQ 110+) keep suggesting that lvl 40-80 admirals do this on forums and threads." It's because we've played this game long enough to know what we're talking about. When many veterans unanimously suggest the same thing, there might be a plausible reason for that.

"Maybe the salt from previous summer events pulled all the water from their bodies." Or maybe you just don't know what you're talking about. Shocking, isn't it?
