But the real point of comparison ought to be Japanese ships, seeing how that's what KanColle is full of.

Which is where this game really deviates from history, seeing how AA in KanColle is incredibly OP at high levels (I can't be the only one who completely avoids using carriers in PvP, can I?). In actual fact the AA for most Japanese ships was downright awful. Arguably the worst of any of the major navies in the war. It was a problem they struggled with throughout the war, especially after losing most of their carrier air support at Midway.

So whether or not Bismarck's AA was "good" compared to allied ships, it really ought to be better than comparable Japanese ships. Certainly not half.
