My Roon had an AA rating of 34 before the update with no upgrades, captain skills or B hull. Post update, it's now a 58, under the same conditions. My Hipper also saw a similar jump.

 

Is this for real?

So, is it mostly the same AA, only measured differently, or is there a material upgrade in the function of AA?

It's different. AA and carrier planes underwent pretty massive changes, some good some bad. A lot of AA armament had their range and/or damage altered, and the new ratings reflect that.

The rating is higher, but plane HP changed too; if anything, the net result is that AA is less effective.

I just played a game on my Hipper, AA seems worst.

 

Wrong German ship to expect good AA from. Hipper had bad AA to start with and it's not going to see any boost in 0.5.3

 

Roon and Hindenburg get amazing AA in this patch.

I just told the guy that Hipper AA seems worst, even if the rating number went up.

 

btw USN dive bombers hit like trucks and no longer seem to miss.

Am I correct that the basic TLDR version is that AA does more damage at longer ranges but less damage at  short ranges?

Yup.

 

Finally able kill do dmg to.planes in German craisers now.

 I was looking at the Des Moines today. ( A guy can dream, can't he?)  They weren't kidding about buffing the larger AA gun damage- the 76's on this ship do hillarious amounts of damage.  335 pts per sec!!!

​I noticed the same thing. I got 18 a couple of days ago in my Tirpitz. That's more than I ever got in total before that on my Tirpitz. Something changed for the better.

The last patch they buffed the large caliber AA guns a lot I believe and those also do the most DPM per barrel.
