Gyrene Posted February 14, 2002 Share Posted February 14, 2002 Originally posted by Lee: Well, we're talking about vehicles to include in CM2 (or II); so, yes, WWII AA guns only. But if BTS does a more recent CM, then I definitely expect to see the Vulcan included (and the Shilka for the commies). P.S. That M15A1 sounds pretty neat, but I'll still take the twin 30mm's on the Kugelblitz. The late WWII M19 had twin 40mm Bofors. Saw a lot of anti-personnel use in Korea.

Lee Posted February 15, 2002 Share Posted February 15, 2002 40mm, eh? Interesting. But I would guess that the rate of fire of the twin 30mm's would make for a more effective hit rate, even though they wouldn't hit as hard per round landed. Either one would be bad news for enemy aircraft or infantry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntelWeenie Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Fuggetabout the M163! Since rarity is off in this thread, I'd rather have the Sgt. York! (prototypes only, but twin 40mm Bofors L/70s in a fully enclosed turret on an M-60 cahssis) That or the M42 Duster (still twin 40mm Bofors, but open topped on a Chaffee hull) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps an interprising modder can put them in Operation Flashpoint or somefink.

Sir Uber General Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Tres cool, and I imagine such a tank would become a favourite amongst the gamey force crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The M42 has the turret in the front, probably making it more suitable for ground fire.
