M247 "Sergeant York" - a solution for interrim SPAA for America?

@Guardian_on_Hill
Where are the proximity rounds on AMX-30 DCA?
M247 is balanced where it stands now.

When spawns a York, the CAS problem is over
No chace to do anything from air… Best AA in the game

We are getting a U.S. 35mm 8.3 SPAA this update already, and the M247 with the VT fuze is incredibly powerful against planes and missiles. You can even take it up to top tier and still perform well, especially for point defense, which will finally be rewarded this update. Maybe they can give it an AP belt for better self-defense? It’s kinda odd it doesn’t have one since it should just be able to fire standard Bofors L/70 rounds.

god no

this thing is a monster!

lowering the BR would be wrong.

It’s my go to AA when i need air-kills, anything closer than 4 km is cooked unless it’s a really skilled pilot.

what the fuck does this suppose to mean

Oh, it’s good that I have a hunting rifle (^_~)

What the fuck? The 38mm of pen are not even close to being as usefull for AT as the 68mm the Gepard has. And no the weird overpressure kills you can get once every 100 matches do not make up for this.

“in spaa duty”

Meaning killing planes, spaa = Self Propelled ANTI AIRCRAFT!!

And it kill planes like noone at that BR.

Wasn’t aware until you mentioned it, and then the officially announced it today! Great keeping a tab on this one

They overpressure quite often in my experience… but the SPAA part was/is more important

Would make sense given the VEAK 40 was 8.7 with its prox rounds

M247 is absolutely mental without having tracers

i dont understand why it should go down in br, is an SPAA, its meant to hunt planes not tanks and for hunting planes it is the strongest spaa at its br… in my opinion we should shorten the capability to fight tanks on the other spaa so you can defent your self but dont have enoth ammo to hunt tanks

then they wouldnt be able to earn any rp/sl

there is so much cas in the games the problem is only that the spaas are in the most cases already dead because thex tried to hunt tanks

ok, but if you make spaa not able to hurt tanks they cant earn rp

their task is to hunt planes not tanks… increase outcome of killing planes and decrease the one for killing tanks

yet gaijin gives you very little reward for shooting down helis/planes.

Theres no need to decrease rewards though just buff rewards
