![]() Like ships world-over, they were slowly upgraded over time. Originally posted by Jack:Neither ship had good AA firepower when built. ![]() I guess they havent done this for balancing issues i donno, but still strange really. The last part in particular is the most interesting, they removed her two secondary batteries on the side to improve AA armament, but that issnt recognized in-game as an option, simply remove the two side batteries and add more AA. A total of twenty-one triple 25 mm mounts and 25 single mounts were added at that time, giving the ship a light AA armament that numbered one hundred and thirty 25 mm guns. While the ship was under repair in April 1944, the two 15.5 cm wing turrets were removed and replaced with three triple 25 mm gun mounts each. The ship was also provided with two twin mounts for the licence-built 13.2-millimetre (0.52 in) Type 93 anti-aircraft machine guns, one on each side of the bridge. Musashi also carried thirty-six 25-millimetre (1 in) Type 96 light anti-aircraft (AA) guns in triple-gun mounts, all mounted on the superstructure. Heavy anti-aircraft defence was provided by a dozen 40-calibre 127-millimetre (5 in) Type 89 dual-purpose guns in six twin turrets, three on each side of the superstructure. These had become available once the Mogami-class cruisers were rearmed with 20.3-centimetre (8.0 in) guns. The ship's secondary battery consisted of twelve 60-calibre 15.5-centimetre 3rd Year Type guns mounted in four triple turrets, one each fore and aft of the superstructure and one on each side amidships. The guns had a rate of fire of 1.5 to 2 rounds per minute. ![]() Musashi's main battery consisted of nine 45-calibre 46-centimetre Type 94 guns mounted in three triple gun turrets, numbered from front to rear. So i went to Wiki and had a look and this is what i found. Finally got myself this monster, i love how it sits docks at range just Citadels everything =)Īnd i kept wondering about the lack of AA on Musashi, given the fact that Musashi compared to her sister ship Yamato came one year later and thus newer, why did they reduce the AA suit?
