not much better, long beach can fight underwater targets too and have good airdfenec. but this thing will suffer against submarine and not string airdefence. only the cannon is best part and it turns very quickly
Basically columbia missile spam on long beach hulls. 😅 3 cannons and 2 changeable missiles. Somewhat like the constitution that relies on cannons and missiles.
Ship has a 2x missile slot can easily add missile torpedo, and knowing its equipment with more weapons of course it will lack aa. Just look at Long Beach and CGX and they both have torpedoes and missile slot to equipment missile torpedoes. So far it's balanced by dev pont of view. Varyag has few weapons but many air defense and you don't complaint it having torpedoes or more equipment? You don't like this game than stop playing.
