Neptunes AA Range

[Adm_Nate_Ellis937]

Okay, so I'm aware Minos max AA range is 8.6km....but just looking at Neptunes B hull has me thinking. If the B hull has a base AA range of 7.2km and you go full AA spec, wouldn't it be 9.1km? I juat care about the range, not the DPS, seeing Des Moines holds the DPS Crown.

Where are you getting the base range is 7.2km from. it's 6km.

Hull B of Neptune.

That stays the same.  It must be because you have AFT.

I don't have the ship purchased yet. I'll upload a picture of what I am talking about.

this is a game UI bug where an unpurchased ship has captain skills and modification bonuses being applied when they shouldn't be.

With upgrades and AFT, Neptune reaches out to 8.6km.

It's 8.6km max with AFT and AAGM2.  I had a pic of it in December in this thread laughing at the futility of USN Cruisers and their "National Flavor."

Without AFT and with AAGM2 it's max range is 7.2km, which is the current setup with my Neptune.

Check the Neptune wiki page I mentioned earlier, as it gives up AFT for MFCAA for a variety of reasons.

 

The dangerous thing with Neptune is that she is the only ship in the game that has 2 sets of AA guns that receive the buff from the MFCAA trait.  She is more dangerous in AA than even Minotaur, IMO, and compounded by the fact that Neptune potentially can face as low as Tier VII aircraft.  So imagine Tier VII Hiryu's Tier VI TBs getting caught against Neptune's murderous AA.

 

Without DF, she doesn't have the big Panic feature.  But it's reassuring to know that her AA is so long ranged and so good that she will kill planes no matter what.  She isn't an AA Cruiser that you can bait and get them to waste DF, then go in later and murder the intended target.  As long as Neptune is afloat, she will swat planes.

Not if you don;t want her to. I agree it's not optimal, but that doesn't mean you can't do it.
