Let the guns be all optionally AI controlled. Most of your time is going to be controlling your wing.

to me it’s still unsure whether this is supposed to be an air or naval mode. I’m interested to see what it is nonetheless

I mean all of your AA guns are AI controlled not like your warships where your main guns are fully 100% you. Some carriers get flack guns they might become your main guns. They should not.

They should indeed not be considered main armament.

Does anyone know what are those ear looking things near the stern of Shokaku ?
I got a flashback from this when i saw them :
Spoiler
I kind of like the almost organic shape they have with the AA batteries and the not-rectangle-like shape they have, unlike other carriers

I’ve got 2 1/700 models of Shokaku and Zuikaku, they are on the level of the flight deck, and very thin. I think personally they may be part of the system for the arrestor cables? Or somehow to prevent planes from falling off…
But I’m probably wrong

I’m not too sure what those “ears” are for, but it might just be little platforms for the “LSO’s” to stand on to guide landing aircraft in.
again, that’s just what I think they are, I haven’t found any actual source stating it.
Edit: I’m starting to doubt that idea seeing as apparently Japanese carriers used lights and not a human LSO (lights pictured below)

Did a bit of digging, and apparently those outriggers could be painted following the same pattern found on the deck at the stern (red / white stripes). Painted or not however, it seems they were only used for orientation in addition to the lights, but no material or personnel was supposed to be standing on those, which makes sense considering the lack of safety handles
In any case, they look cool imo, they add a bit of character to the ship
