Were there any field mods to armor up the turret or similar on it?
Since it was used as a fire support vehicle on occasion you would think people might want to up-armor it as you often see with other vehicles.
Go for it. I’ve been meaning to make one for a while but I don’t have any time.
Not to my knowledge. Against small arms and rifle fire, the M113 is actually pretty alright in terms of protection. Plus, with an armament like this, they were likely used as a sort of “sweeping” weapon as opposed to direct fire support, though I’m sure they were used that way too.
7.3 at least I think. 15.2mm gun with high fire rate can be deadly.
Yea for real, after USA sweden definetly could use some ww2 or early cold war SPAA
Can be, but range is definitely lacking. A little like the german triplet 15mm halftrack SPAA - very deadly up close, lacks damage and range further away.
What’s that truck vehicle called?
I’ve never seen a name for it specifically, but it’s a halftrack (same as M16 MGMC) but with the turret from an Elco PT boat. 2x .50cals + 4x 20mms.
Generally called M2 Elco B-6, a similar turret to the one in the picture can be found in the game on the PT-556 premium coastal vessel but without the .50 cals.
Found a link with some info, quite barebones though: Car, Half-Track, M2 (Elco B-6) | FirearmCentral Wiki | Fandom.
+1, US needs SPAA between the Duster and M163
Honestly it’s more of a 2.7-9.0 hole. The M19 and M42 are honestly worse than M16 in terms of SPAA, and the M163 is so stupidly pathetic that the M109 with proxy is a better SPAA.
A US anti-air vehicle? Yes please!
Very cool. Now I’ve finally have some detailed information on the .60cal ammunition :)
almost a year later and not even passed to devs, i swear they’re actively avoiding SPAAs
Only for America though ) :
oh goodness gracious it has almost been a year lol, tbf SPAAs tend to be looked over more in favor of standard tanks like Light, Medium and Heavy tanks then SPGs and finally SPAAs
not with russia. They moved Strela up and added a new SPAA for 0 reason but to keep Russia OP like a week later. Meanwhile America hasn’t gotten anything good between 4.0 and 9.0, and it’s been like this for years.
Suggestion passed to the developers for consideration.
