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

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

imo there is the need to decrease reward for SPAA fighting tanks so spaas are not anymore the choose number one for hunting tanks and forget about their task to defend air space

it doesnt matter what you put after these words, it is never true

agree, i fucking hate M247s lol.
im flying, trying to spot some enemys or find enemy spaa then suddenly my jet desintegrates to molecular level from nowhere

Please read the entire comment before replying. This is what I replied to:

They never did when I used them.

HE-VT on the York no longer arms on missiles…

This anti-aircraft gun urgently needs to understand the combat rating, it does not belong at 9.0. Considering that everything that has a radio fuse is at 10.0 +. Then I propose to give this anti-aircraft gun a subcaliber belt and raise the BR to 10.0. Where it will also be toxic, but at least early jet aircraft will not see it.

because it has extremely good proxy rounds, that’s the reasoning for it being 9.0
