hey Bustr on your BowlMA map did you up the lethality of the triple A on fields and ships-- can 5" guns really shoot 20k up in real life

The 5-inch/38 gun functioned as a dual purpose gun (DP); that is, it was able to fire at both surface and air targets with a reasonable degree of success. However, this did not mean that it possessed inferior anti-air abilities. As proven during 1941 gunnery tests conducted aboard North Carolina the gun could consistently shoot down aircraft flying at 12,000–13,000 feet (2.3–2.5 mi; 3.7–4.0 km), twice the effective range of the earlier single purpose 5-inch/25 caliber AA gun.[35]


at 12,000–13,000 feet (2.3–2.5 mi; 3.7–4.0 km), twice the effective range of the earlier single purpose 5-inch/25 caliber AA gun.[35] As

my math could be wrong but 20K is higher than 13,000ft   I may be wrong just asking.

because on the BowlMA map all the guns seem to shoot higher and are more lethal than any of the other maps/terrains even the CV groups seem more lethal.

Map creators do not have the ability to change lethality.

roger that I didna know that so I switch to question to Skuzzy or HiTech-is the Lethality accurate for the AAA on the BowlMA map?
it doesn't seem that bad on the other maps.
