3 Casas5591 Members 29 posts 2,834 battles Report post #1 Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) What is the best tier to build AA? I have proposed to myself that I will acquire both the Yorck (weaker Myoko-clone) and Roon (German AP) to ease the grinding process yet posses the most diverse ships. I could build AA on the Yorck since it's a support ship and needs extra tools to keep competitive however the Roon as a heavy cruiser will be the most prominent target in the front line. I could build AA on the Roon and that will result in stronger AA out of the duo with a Hydro focus on the Yorck complementing her HE proficiency however the Yorck will be weaker as a support vessel as with the Roons lack of hydro to go aggro. I could forgo AA or go all out on the AA too but choices. But generally speaking, what is the zenith for AA builds and how should I spec my two future KM ships? Thank you for reading!

288 SweetRollThief Members 74 posts 10,935 battles Report post #6 Posted March 24, 2016 The York is really good at killing DD, and the hydro is a really nice feature. If you optimize York for AA you are probably swapping out hydro for defensive fire, and you already have a fighter plane. My opinion, it's to much of a focus on AA for that ship.
