Question about priority AA

[buzz_bomb]

When multiple bomber squadrons are attacking you and you prioritize 1 squadron does your AA still fire at the other squadrons? What is the bonus to AA for a target that is being prioritized? Assuming I don't also have any captain skills to enhance it. 

If my ship only fires at a prioritized target, it still fires at planes that are in range once that squadron is out of range right?

I do believe the DPS against a target squadron is boosted by 30%, but it is listed on the wiki. They fire at other targets once the priority target is out of range.

Only AA mounts that don't have range on the designated squadron fire at other squadrons, if they do have range on those.

Yeah, I've never looked at the exact mechanics, but non-priority targets on the side of the ship that isn't being prioritized certainly take some fire both from AA and from secondaries.

Facing doesn't matter for AA and there are no engagement envelopes for any AA gun in this game, it's all just a DPS bubble around the ship. Port-side AA guns engage starboard targets and vice versa.
