Certain equipment combinations will provide a chance for an Anti-Air Cut-In (AACI) during the aerial combat. When activated, the cut-in CG (shown on the right) would appear before engaging the enemy fighters, but does not appear to affect the resulting air control state (AS+, AS, Air Parity or Denial). Although there's currently no conclusion on how it's applied onto the [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#Fleet_Anti-air_Defense Fleet Anti-air Defense formula], a general consensus suggests the effectiveness scales with the AA stat ({{AA}}) of the ship triggering it.

With an AA Cut-In from a ship with high AA stat ({{AA}}), it is possible to '''obliterate all incoming bombers''' before they inflict any damage, and even prevent opposing carriers from shelling since they have 0 bombers left.'''

There are [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/Combat#comm-164478 reports] that enemy ships in map [http://kancolle.wikia.com/wiki/World_6:_%E4%B8%AD%E9%83%A8%E6%B5%B7%E5%9F%9F#6-2 6-2] ''might'' be capable of doing AACI. Other than that, there is currently no enemy ship capable to blast all your bombers with AA weapons.
