Is there a reason many AA weapons are missing?

I am thinking particularly of the M16 quad .50 cal halftrack which is one of America's few 'superweapons' and which appears to have been available in 1943 (http://www.collingsfoundation.org/autos_m16halftrack.htm)

Ditto for the Wirbelwind which was also developed in 1943 (and is even more 'uber' having 4x 20mm cannon).

From what I remember there are no dedicated AA weapons on-map except the 88 (which is in any case for high-flying bombers not tac air) but in future modules would AA weapons be able to scare off or even shoot down air support? From what I remember of CMBB AA weapons were too able to shoot down aircraft - in real life they could certainly 'have a go' and would probably put planes off their aim but wouldn't be very likely to hit.

Apologies - I thought my first thread hadn't been posted - I must have overlooked it. And yes the answer there is very clear and thorough. Guess I'll wait for the next module!
