We redistributed the efficiency of air defense between the constant damage taken and the puffs of damage from explosions - the efficiency was increased for the former and decreased for the latter.

Maneuvering among the AA explosions allows you to reduce the damage received from air defense, even while in the AA range of ships with powerful air defense.This will allow ships to fire longer on returning aircraft and will help to counter the tactic in which the player gives the order to the squadron to return immediately after the first attack group’s run (“F” key by default). Increased the height which returning aircraft need to reach in order to become invulnerable to AA fire.The changes affected the aircraft carriers Lexington, Shokaku, Midway, Hakuryu. To reduce the attacking and spotting potential of Attack Aircraft against destroyers in high-tier battles, the number of aircraft in the squadron was changed to 9, and in the attack group to 3.In Update 0.8.0.1 we will carry out balance changes and improvements of aircraft carriers and AA stats. (Note that News article also covers 0.8.2.)
