Well the truth is they didn’t really. Most of these are designs that never actually made it.
The M15a1 is really the only exception and it used the 50’s as spotters to bring the 37mm to range, and also to bait some planes into coming in closer thinking it was older M13’s
Gaijin has a game setting letting the player fire both primary and secondary weapons at the same time. We see this in vehicles like the M3 Lee or Churchill Mk I.
If i can kill planes with the M16 easily with just 4x .50 cal, I can imagine how fun and easy this thing will kill with 6x 50. cal and 2x 20mm. I so want this!!
though it was long ago passed for consideration there is the T85E1
Four 20mm M3s is quite the upgrade firepower wise over the skinks even if on a much more vulnerable platform but the M3s would give the US it own Whirblewind with arguably better firepower as the M3 for a long time as been a fantastic all rounder 20mm with great velocity ( 850 m/s ), good rof ( 750 rpm ), and very good damage for a mid to high tier cannon often times one tapping most targets it hits
I need to share the quad 20mm Elco as well.
So there’s 3 SPAA with Elco turrets alone.
Why is this shit looks so funny
Tons of experimental US SPAA’s look super wacky. Like the T68.
Yep, and you get 2 versions of this as well. One with 4x Oerlikon’s and another with 4x Hispanos. The Oerlikon’s are basically Skink level firepower but with 60 round drum magazines instead of 30 round box mags. Hispanos have far better rate of fire and velocity, then potentially more ammo types if Gaijin ever add them.
US getting Skink was just typical Gaijin laziness. They didn’t need it and could have been made up for with actual US vehicles.
Damn this thing is good, it’s even the best for 6.7 due to how user friendly it is
Positive air KDR lol
Yep. I +1 it. Would be terrible but fun.
While I’m here, here’s a list of US SPAA with 20mm’s.
T10E1 Half-track:
3 Elco turreted vehicles:
T85:
M114A2:
M113 (unsure of official designation):
There’s likely more as well.
Bro, guess what
btw, the other day I randomly had a couple games with 3.7 Germany against US, and it was insane how much CAS they were spamming. 9 air kills over those two games:
And it’s really like that up 6.7 and even beyond for USA. They just think CAS fixes everything. Doubt any better SPAA would change the USA players mindset when it comes to it. They’ll still spam CAS. Of course, I hope they do add more SPAA and I am proven wrong.
Pretty much every nation spams CAS in WW2 BRs.
please give me this snail i do anything u want
Yes it is. The bosvark is goated on so many LEVELS. BOSVARK IS NOT FOR THE WEAK!
I still want to see the T22. An auto loaded 75mm with VT fuses would be interesting.
Probably end up playing similar to those low tier bofors vehicles. Terrible at actual AA work, but great if played as a “light tank”.
Would love to see it though. I’d imagine somewhere around 5.0 - 5.3 sadly.
I’ve been playing M55 and now Flakpanzer 341, and most USA teams will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by spamming CAS. They keep jumping in planes until all their spawn points are gone. Even with the 341 spam shooting down their planes. It’s rare to see USA players use M19/M42. More SPAA options won’t change the CAS culture of USA teams, sadly.
