I think being closed top but armed with 50s makes it good for 3.7.
It’s not closed top.

Not only does the US desperately need an SPAAG between the M16 and M19A1, I’ve wanted this thing in the game for AGES. +1 with all my being!
Those can actually be covered with plexiglass domes. Dunno how Gaijin would implement it, but it can be fully enclosed.

inb4 gaijin doesn’t bother to model it at all because if a certain country can’t have closed top SPAA till rank 6 then neither can we

Would be unfortunate for sure.
9 years. Nothing has been added between the M13 CGMC and M42 Duster low-mid tier SPAA since Steel Generals update in 2014…
Stuff like the T77 MGMC is way long overdue. Plus despite what people say about the allies historically not having or needing many SPAA platforms especially towards the end of WW2, they certainly had plethora of different prototypes made and tested at the time that could be really useful for mixed ground RB battles and lineups.

Even with the GLASS domes, it shouldn’t be at the same BR as the Wirbelwind, even 3.3 is pushing it as only a single BR step above you get 4x20 mm instead of 6x12.7 mms, which is a massive upgrade that deserves a much bigger BR difference (3.0 vs 3.7)

Probably just label it as bullet proof glass.

Seems very similar to the (4.0) Crusader AA Mk II, but with the slight disadvantage of less roof armour
No no, the plexiglass will be an event or premium, with the shitty one being in the tech tree, like usual
T89E1 is not a factory designation. Neither does any of your sources claim so.
T89E1 is the designation for the gun mount.

This SPAAG is soooooooooooo LONG OVERDUE!!! I don’t play the US as often but +1 from me.

Yea they really need to revisit rank low - mid rank SPAAs not only for the us but most other nations except Russia and Germany(ish)
Honestly more WW2/Cold War vehicles would be nice as i don’t really enjoy top-tier and prefer to stay at 4.0 to 8.0

Would be a great addition imo.
Also I have another source that has specifications that differ from the ones you have, from Vehicle Characteristics, January 1951:

Chances are if it’s added, then it will remain either fully enclosed or get a modification.
The only difference is, that enclosed would provide protection but line of sight might be slightly worse but not by much while without it, you see everything with a lot less sun shine glare.
YES YES A MILLION TIMES YES!!! I would give up so much to have this in game. It would be such a good AA for US, that is oh so desperately needed!

+1 from me. Can never have too many SPAA options, and with the skink being given to UK, we really need an armored AA in some capacity
The only reason US players arent going berserk is Because they have the best CAS in-game and a 50 mounted on every tank. But still its not right! Also you did get a SPAA but people use it like a Light tank. In the Brrrt update
