[2021] Mackensen's AA

I haven't played the Mackensen, but I noticed it's terrible AA last night when I played Saipan and nothing got shot down in three passes. Definitely a weakness, to be sure.

Question though. How does she perform in a non-CV game? Are her other attributes capable enough when there's no CV-weakness being used against it?

Musashi is an example of a Battleship that has a lot of power until she meets planes, for instance. It's a designed in weakness that allows more powers in her other areas.
