so now apparently sprior is slowly reducing Wake.
too bad i dont have Wasp.
but most of the carrier groups AA is above 4000. ive added the refitted battleships with the highest AA ratings to the groups that need them most. all 5 carriers are still intact. true theyre not as good as the fast battleships, but im not running them at full speed all the time anyway. Maryland and Nevada are on the west coast. Marylands AA is at about 900.
too bad i dont have Wasp.
but most of the carrier groups AA is above 4000. ive added the refitted battleships with the highest AA ratings to the groups that need them most. all 5 carriers are still intact. true theyre not as good as the fast battleships, but im not running them at full speed all the time anyway. Maryland and Nevada are on the west coast. Marylands AA is at about 900.
