How is this different in performance from the TCM-20 to warrant any of the BRs in the poll though?

Would be an interesting variations to the US halftracks. However it needs to be the same BR as TCM-20.
My thoughts exactly, the TCM-20 is 4.3, while the highest suggested BR for the T10E1 is at 3.7.
Both the T10E1 and the TCM-20 is using 2x 20mm Hispano as their weapons and are both based on the M3 Half-Track. They should have more or less the same performance.

Hmmm Super M16 I interesting, if you’re wondering why I said Super M16 it is because the Dillon Aero modified an M45 quad mount with 4 M134 7.62 rotary machine guns and if it was mounted onto a M16 chassis i would call it the Super M16 II.
I wrote this suggestion before the TCM-20 was added and I simply didn’t go back and change the polls. Unless there’s a seriously good reason for it, I don’t like messing with polls as that can screw up existing results. If you’d like to vote 4.3, just select “other”.
Why should the TCM-20 be that high anyway? AEC AA is 3.3, has 2x 20mm and actually has armour. Crusader AA Mk. II is 4.0, has 2x 20mm and actually has armour.

The 404s provide over 50% better fire rate than the Oerlikons
Wirbelwind has a higher rate of fire due to having more guns.

i’m quite sure the fire rate and velocity of these 20mm is a lot worse then the ones on the TMC-20 (plus the TMC is way to high br’ed anyway but not many people complain because not many people use it because of it’s complete lack of lineup)
edit: i’m finding conflicting sources on what the guns where, or oerlikom mk IV 20mm wich have a worse fire rate then M2 .50’s, a T10 with these would probs fit best at about 3.0-3.3. Or HS.404’s wich do have better capabilities and thus it would be a slightly worse version of the TMC-20 (because the non-elevated turret would probs cause some gun depression problems) that would work quite nice at 3.3-3.7. (i’m not sure it’s really better then the wirbelwind)
I am the milkman and I will deliver 20mm high-explosive milk to the door of your aircraft +1
I said this before on the old forums, and I’ll say it again, this gets a MASSIVE +1 from me, as this is something the US tech tree has desperately needed for a long time. I feel the T10E1 would probably have a 4.7 battle rating, since it’s a bit of an upgrade to the TCM-20, having worse turret traverse and gun elevation speeds, but a higher ammunition count, a higher crew count, a better power-to-weight ratio, and the guns almost certainly used the same ammunition as the AN/M2, which is great because 16 g worth of TNT traveling at 868 m/s sounds phenomenal.

Any U.S. 20mm SPAA that can fill the ranks of III-IV are a MUST at this point.

American version of the TCM-20. it would be really nice to have a decent mid rank SPAA. those 40mm SPAA aren’t exactly as good as the M16 for tracking aircrafts

Yeah. They hit hard, but I’ve never had much luck actually hitting anything with them. I much prefer stuff like 20mm and .50 caliber guns. Rate and volume of fire over shell size.

Much appreciated! I totally agree that this is a needed upgrade over the crappy 40mm things. It’ll do really well in-game and be much easier to use than the M19 or M42.
Wouldnt it be rather an Super M13, since its 2x 20mm and not 4x?
These are some fantastic resources! What book?

Why didn’t I think of that?
