USA really NEEDS mid-tier SPAA

How about they just stop “fabricating things” altogether.

If gaijin still believe that radar SPAA like ZSU37-2 or VEAK40 can be 7.7, I think M163 could be 7.3, and it also need apds as well, or we can remove the radar and send the M163 to 6.7, just like zsu-23-4

The skink was one of the longest suggested vehicles in this game’s history. The T77 was not far after. Now we have the skink. Still waiting on the T77.

There are many prototypes and things that did not enter service. We could also get an updated model of M163, or at the very least just make the 163 actually work.
EDIT
Proxy for duster would be awesome but I think that would shoot it up to 8.3 at least.

It would probably be 8.0 like the WZ305.

There’s plenty of functional prototypes built and tested (y’know, unlike Flakpanzer 341, Kugel, or zestorer). They even had an equivelant of the Gepard.

America is literally the only nation that doesn’t have aGgepard equivelant. Only exception being MAYBE Israel and Russia who get ZSU-23-4 which is better as an actual SPAA role anyways.

Anything with the HE-VT round is always welcome as its the most extremely effective rounds against air in this game. But those will either end up at 8.0+

Maybe, but duster is smaller, less obvious target, has faster rotation + elevation, more ammo and higher RoF… 8.0 would be a hard sell.

People load SPAA with AP to shoot tanks then wonder why they can’t hit a plane

are you dumb? I use the m16 at 5.7 since there is nothing else usable. Even if it’s 4.3 material (like the tcm that i uses at 6.7 with israel), it’s still way better than having to stick with the m16 (that is really good but lacks reliable damage).

i can guarantee you that the duster is a pain to play against air (as any 120 rpm bofors as a matter of facts). Even when you hit, unlike the german or russian 37mm, there’s no guarantee you’ll do damage. The guns are also terribly innacurate. They also lack ammo. Funnily enough, i have no problem with the amx40 dca that is an excellent spaa. People are only half the problem for the american spaa line.

But Duster is less protected and much less effective against tanks

USA players needs a certificate to buy and play 11.3 premium vehicles. 🙏😭

While i would usually agree. 3.7 br gap for SPAA is pretty absurd.

You don’t have to convince ne my friend, I still use the M16 through 4BR still : )

That box has been opened. It was dumb but that doesn’t justify doing it for one nation and not others.

It doesn’t justify continuing to do it either.

Yes it does

Why?

So there’s this game called world of tanks…
