I am certainly not going to tell you I’m a 20mm auto-cannon expert, but like the Polsten, the Oerlikon has great big springs wrapped around the barrel which these do not have. I imagine there are other 20mm guns that there is a very faint possibility that these could be, but I’m reasonable happy to provisionally ID them as Hispanos. but see for yourself, gas piston and block is on top of the barrel a little more than halfway between the magazine and the forward support, right about where it should be:
(screenshot has been stretched 18.5% to somewhat account for the angle)
AWM photo descriptions aren’t all that great, they used to say Matilda tanks were Australian made.

I looked at that the first time and though it was actually my eyes playing tricks, and that it was part of the centre support, not a gas chamber on the barrel. But I’ll leave it as Hispanos.
I guess you can also see structural rings around the barrel to mount the chamber.
Found this one on Discord, although it was posted June of this year.
Unfortunately it’s an autonomous vehicle, but still worth considering for the future nonetheless.

The turret is unmanned, the ATLAS it’s going on is unmanned, but that Patria likely has a driver and people inside running the test. But going by the article, if this test vehicle was added it’d be for Slovenia instead of Australia.

+1 as it gives a ton of unique vehicles.
Also I’m assuming the bob semple mg config wouldn’t suffice as a spaa, was hoping it could take over the title of worst spaa from the light AA MK1/hj
Also, I think the Schofield could be added twice, one for wheels and one for tracks, could bulk up line ups with ease.

I usually take the opinion that the Schofield is one vehicle and could have a mechanic to enable it to switch just like in real life. It could even simply be tied to the suspension up/down buttons.
If the Bob Semple can get let’s say at least 4 mg on target at once with decent elevation on all the guns to make it viable as an SPAA at 1.0, then I’ll hear it out lol.

Fair enough on that, as long as both configs make it (would be nice to be able to change it in the spawn menu) I’ll be happy.
