The Flakpanzer I is an old event vehicle and it only has 2 crew, gunner and driver. In real life it had a crew of 5.
The M13 MGMC is also missing its 2 loaders
These two vehicles should receive their proper crew
Some may think its a waste since its a light vehicle but each crew acts as an extra life for the vehicle and you never know when the moment arises that you need it. Plus its more fitting so vehicles are represented as best as we can as they were in real life. It’s a very small fix

AMEN, the problem is, japs would suffer due ta-se only have 3
I’m not using either until they get their own dedicated AA slot since it’s just a complete waste of a tank.

But what is the point of a dedicated AA slot. We might as well say that the M3 Stuart shouldn’t be in the “tank slot” because the Sherman is obviously better. Should the Flakpanther, if it’s eventually added, be in this slot.
The point is that the “tank” slot isn’t so much a tank slot but more of a slot for combat vehicles. Tanks, tank destroyers, self propelled artillery, etc.
I feel everyone should use whatever vehicle they feel like and no matter what they play and do whatever they can. If you’re an SPAA you either shoot down planes or mow down infantry
The point is to encourage more anti aircraft weapons in the game (which are desperately needed) and to allow people the option of an SPAA and/or Tank.
I dont see why players should be forced to sacrifice a tank slot just to get an SPAA. Especially at higher tiers where the SPAA has no protection whatsoever.
Many battles the team needs tanks AND self propelled anti aircraft guns. Yes there are buildable AA guns but the fast paced nature of the game makes stationary units inappropriate.
Id argue tank slots should be armoured cars and then proper tanks.
APC should be trucks and halftracks (from BR III onwards each tree should have a tech tree unlockable armoured personal carrier like the M3 Halftrack/Sdkfz rather than just a vulnerable truck. These halftracks should be allowed to have 1 defensive weapon like an MG in higher tiers)
Then the Rider class for motorcycles and jeeps (jeep-like vehicles)
Plus other mechanised units like mobile engineers (trucks) and medics (ambulance, which auto heals soldiers within a certain radius).
Because the number of crew members is different from those in War Thunder. For example, the T60 model was updated due to the remaster in War Thunder, and the new model was added when enlisted. Currently, the only connection between enlistment and War Thunder is related to 3D decorations.
