I don’t think the ZPU-4 was ever used by U.S. forces, much less so mounted on vehicles. This is likely just a creation by reenactors to represent the M45 quadmount commonly fit on these kind of trucks and shouldn’t be taken as a real combination.

Hello there
Is this a Soviet mod, or a captured T-34 turned AA?

Allemagne (Germany).3x15mm.
So it’s different from Flakpanzer T-34(r) - Tank Encyclopedia (tanks-encyclopedia.com), like another variant?
this is some kind of ersatz. I haven’t found any other angles yet.
There is actually a suggestion on the old forum for this vehicle, but upon further investigation it appears to be a photoshop of these two images.
@Ghostmaxi This image appears to be a fake, but the history you provided in your suggestion implies that this vehicle did at least exist in some form no?

Idk. Such things certainly happened, example the Flakvierling 38 on Bergepanzer T-34(r).

Another goldie would be the Bergepanzer 38t

The second to last pic is of the rare Marenco M114, a rare conversion of the M114 into a FSV done by the El-Salvadoran Army during the El-Salvadoran Civil war
Interestingly enough it uses the Zastava M55A2 20mm AA autocannon

I’m sure this has been suggested before, but the T249 Vigilante would be an excellent addition to the US Tech Tree.
3 times as many T249s were built as ZSU-37-2s, yet the latter is already in the game. I wondered if part of the reason is due to lack of easily-available information on the T249’s gun and ammunition, so I took it upon myself to use the data that is publicly available to try and rectify this:
This source gives the muzzle velocity and the approximate dimensions of the round. The 37mm M1 gun uses ammunition with an almost identical case, and the bullet itself looks similar in shape to a 6.5 Creedmoor bullet, so using the mass of the M54A1 shot and the 6.5 Creedmoor ballistic coefficient we can get a ballistics table using this calculator. This gives us a muzzle energy of 255 kilojoules, and an energy at 2000 meters of 44.887 kJ. Plus a suggestion for this particular vehicle has already been submitted on the forums.
I’d also like to see the T77 multiple gun motor carriage in the game, because more .50-cals = more gooder.
The T77 has also been suggested on the forums before.
Both of these vehicles use existing in-game chassis (T249 on the M113, and T77 on the M24), and neither feature sophisticated elements like radar, so they should be fairly simple to implement.

Doesn’t the T249 carry so little ammo it runs out after like a second of squeezing the trigger? Would be completely unusable unless you’re standing on a cap.
Yes, it only has a 192 rounds magizine, while it has a rpm of 3000. This means you can shoit for 4 seconds.
so it’s a fantasy. then I’ll delete it. what a pity, “kastenbrust” lovers would be happy.
