In modern warships, combat is multidimensional, involving not only direct hits from main guns but also the launch of missiles, torpedoes, or aerial bombing by carrier-based aircraft, etc. Facing aerial threats, using anti-aircraft missiles can be quite effective. So, what is the strongest air defense in modern warships? It's hard to say which one is the best, but a few powerful ones can be recommended from a group of excellent options, worth everyone's use.

KSAM BLOCK 2, this is an anti-aircraft gun newly added in the recent update, costing only 2500 gold bars, with pretty good stats. A legendary grade anti-aircraft gun, with single-shot damage of 520, reload time of 4.2s, and maximum range of 4.77. It takes 28 seconds to shoot down an attack aircraft and 22 seconds for a bomber.

When it comes to intercepting missiles, the test of Storm Shadow almost achieved full interception, while the Zircon missile test occasionally had 2-3 hits, and the Basalt missile generally stabilized at 1-2 hits. Overall, it's quite good, and can be said to be a very useful anti-aircraft gun for civilian players at this level.

The Spade anti-aircraft gun is also a very powerful, well-established option, often used as a benchmark for comparison, known for its stability, accuracy, and efficiency. Especially when facing a cluster strike composed of multiple missiles, it always prioritizes locking onto and destroying the earliest approaching missiles, with a very high interception success rate. Its core advantages are fast firing rate, excellent range, and a built-in area-of-effect (AOE) explosion.

The 162D point defense gun, although its range and the number of rounds per volley are not as good as the Spade, and its overall firepower is slightly weaker, has an extremely short cooldown time, making it highly available in sustained combat. Especially when the enemy adopts a high-density, rapidly successive missile offensive, the 162D, with its short cycle and high-frequency rotation efficiency, can continuously fill in the cooldown gaps of other primary air defense systems.

This is an introduction to what the strongest air defense in modern warships is. Currently, the three anti-aircraft guns mentioned above are recommended. KSAM is the newest, very balanced, and is the top choice for civilians. The Spade has fierce firepower, and the 162D has a fast firing rate, each with their own advantages.
