I love APC and I think adding it is the best update of 2023
At the same time, I also noticed that APC is a vehicle with great development potential. Maybe we can not only regard it as a rally point or transportation, but maybe it can also do more things?
For example, BR5 currently has a serious problem of aircraft flooding. I think anti-aircraft APC is a good idea, because anti-aircraft guns not only require an engineering team, but they are also very bulky.
If your teammates occupy a strategic point or lose a strategic point, you will have to abandon the anti-aircraft gun position you have repaired, follow your teammates to advance or retreat, and then build another one, which wastes a lot of time.
Imagine an air defense APC that can perform anti-air missions. It can advance or retreat with teammates, and can also provide a rally point for teammates. I think it should be a good prop.
At present, the APC team in the technology tree is stuck at low BR. Maybe we can get such a variant with high BR? APC carrying anti-aircraft or anti-tank guns?
They are also historically real, so there is no need to worry about being unhistorical.
Take the German army and the US army for example, they both have great anti-aircraft APCs:
german army:Sd. Kfz. 7/1
I think she is the best vehicle for the air defense role.
I have experienced the anti-aircraft efficiency of flak38 before the anti-aircraft guns were weakened last year. Coupled with the vehicle that can be maneuvered at any time, it is definitely an excellent anti-aircraft APC.
American armies:T28E1
37mm anti-aircraft gun + 12.7mm heavy machine gun
This is an interesting combination. For players who are good at anti-aircraft shooting, the 37mm anti-aircraft gun can be used to its greatest effect.
Japanese Army: type 94 AA
To be honest, this thing isn’t great.
Soviet Army: GAZ-MM 72-K
Well…compared to the German and American armies, the Japanese and Soviet armies don’t seem to have many anti-aircraft vehicles
I have seen Soviet troops capturing German flak anti-aircraft guns mounted on trucks before, but unfortunately I could not find any pictures or relevant information.
Finally, I would like to express my thoughts. The reason why I think anti-aircraft APC has great potential is mainly because when players use anti-aircraft guns, it means that they must devote themselves wholeheartedly to the game against enemy aircraft.
Maybe his other teammates will think: Hey, we have a guy on the team who is hiding in a safe area and playing with anti-aircraft guns. He is not contributing to the team.
However, if there is an anti-aircraft APC, not only can it perform anti-air missions, but the rally point function of the APC will also contribute to other teammates. As strategic points are occupied and fell, the APC can move in time and provide resurrection for teammates at any time.
Because I noticed something, APCs can only be driven by drivers. If a strategic point is captured or captured, those APCs deployed in previous battles will be forgotten, and no one will drive them to another point because the driver has no reason. Sitting in the car doing nothing
They may have been killed long ago or advanced with the infantry.
But the anti-aircraft gun will give APC players a reason to sit in the car. I can provide better resurrection points for my teammates at any time according to the battlefield situation. I can control the anti-aircraft gun to protect my ground teammates. I can also follow them to advance or retreat
What’s more, it’s not considered a tank, so it won’t take the position of a teammate’s tank.
