I need some clarification on American AA mounts on the Hornet and their relation with the ships directors. I was informed of my mistakes on some of my Japanese ships, and would like to avoid making the same mistake with the Hornet.
thanks in advance,
Frank

No expert here but I would think that the guns under control of a certain director would face the same angle, but only if the director were turned on / active

Hi Frank
As Steve said, if the Director is active and the AA engaged, than they should be pointing to the same direction.
But you can put the AA in manual, and this could happen on a multitarget situation.
Another think you should take care is which guns are associated to which director.
Although not a very extensive explanation I hope this helped.
