Are 5-inch guns AA now?

I think I have the 5-inch guns on  Essex scoring an AA kill did this actually happen or am I imagining it? I've not been able to recreate it

5" were duel purpose guns. So yes could be used in AA

I know they were in real life, but I am trying to see if that is the case in DCS now

The problem remains that, to date, no ships medium-caliber guns have been used in DCS World for AAA. On the contrary, they were all rated as "ASUW.". If you tried to add it, it would do very strange things. In fact, all modern ships with medium- or large-caliber guns (72-155) have AAA capability, but it has never been added. I haven't tried five-inch guns, but unless they've added anti-aircraft capability, I doubt it.

I was hoping to get a developer to confirm or deny. I have been looking at the lau

I just made a mission, just a flight of Ju-88's flying arroung ESSEX getting shot at. it looks like they finally got the guns working. Towards the end of the track file it appears the Ju-88s are getting shot at by the 5-inch guns. Hopefully this will be added to every other ship.
