Switching targets or deactivating AA completely resets the ticknumber.

If a plane gets shot down basetick/2 is added to the current ticknumber. After every tick the number is decreased by 1. Each time a tick happens there is a chance to shoot down a plane. This is based on the plane hp and the auras dps. An aura can engage one target at a time. All AA guns with the same range form an aura. If Sub Octavian is to be trusted, it should be 140ms across the board.Ī simplified explanation of how AA works: I think they streamlined the rate of fire of AA guns with 0.5.3. Its for this reason, not considering defensive, its arguable that the Hakuryuu has the best AA of any ship in the game up front. When you start upgrading these, the attack alpha of the Haku's AA reaches the point where you start getting insane 1-shot crits, and failing to 1shot something might mean you down 2 on the next attack. This is why Hakuryuu DP (250 DPS base) is much better than the Midway DP 200 DPS. The 'Average DPS' deal is to give you a general indication of what you can overall expect out of your guns over large sample sizes.ĭon't forget that AA guns have their attack intervals.Īutocannons shoot more than once a second, DP guns take a few seconds to reload and this is reflected in their attack intervals. The reason you sometimes see planes live for like 10 seconds and then suddenly 2 fall out of the sky is because of a system of increasing chance to kill the longer its in range and you havent done anything. Its basically a 1 shot crit change deal, its binary.
