Sd.Kfz. 6/2

HISTORY
The 3.7 cm Flak 36 auf Selbstfahrlafette , or simply Sd.Kfz. 6/2 , is a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun based on the Sd.Kfz. 6 half-track tractor, with a 37 mm 3.7 cm FlaK 36 L/98 anti-aircraft gun. This self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was developed to counter Allied and Soviet aircraft, as well as to protect Luftwaffe airfields from air strikes. Since the truck platform itself was occupied by the anti-aircraft gun, a single-axle trailer for transporting ammunition was attached to it. At the beginning of production, there was no armored gun shield, but it was added in subsequent serial modifications. Most of the Sd.Kfz. 6/2 went into service with Luftwaffe air defense units, but a small number of ZSUs were in service with Wehrmacht and SS units. For the first time, the Sd.Kfz. The 6/2 was tested on the Eastern Front in 1941, but was subsequently used everywhere. It was produced by Bussing-Nag, Daimler Benz, Böhmisch-Mährischen Maschinenfabrik, and Praga from 1941 to 1943, and a total of 339 Sd.Kfz. 6/2s were assembled.

USSR


GAZ-AAA(DShK)

HISTORY
The GAZ-AAA is a Soviet three-axle all-terrain truck. Developed in 1932 on the Ford-AA chassis at NATI, the design was later refined at the GAZ plant’s Special Vehicles Design Bureau under the direction of V. A. Grachev. The primary goal of the design was to meet the needs of the Red Army with all-terrain trucks. It was produced from 1934 to 1943. During this time, 37,373 GAZ-AAAs were built. Several thousand GAZ-AAAs were converted into armored cars, anti-aircraft guns, self-propelled guns, field repair vehicles, tractors, fuel trucks, and even staff and ambulance buses.

Due to a severe shortage of ZSUs and the Luftwaffe’s air superiority, Soviet soldiers mounted DShK anti-aircraft machine guns on a tripod in the back of the most mobile and all-terrain vehicles—the GAZ-AAA—to give them mobility. This way, air defense units didn’t have to waste time deploying the machine gun and could provide air cover for vehicle columns, soldiers, and combat unit convoys while moving alongside them. Since these ZSUs were often produced in the field rather than in factories, the number of GAZ-AAA (DShK) units built can only be guessed at.

USA


M16 MGMC

HISTORY
The M16 MGMC is an American self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPG) used during World War II, developed in the mid-1940s by the White Motor Company. Its design is a modernization of the M13 MGMC , with the turret modified to accommodate four heavy Browning machine guns. A total of 2,877 M16 MGMCs were produced, 628 of which were converted from M13 MGMCs. The M16 MGMC was the most widely produced SPG in the US Army during World War II, actively participating in nearly every major operation of 1944–1945, and later serving during the Korean War.

JAPAN


TYPE94

HISTORY
The Type 94 is a Japanese self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, developed in the early 1930s on the chassis of a three-axle Type 94 truck by mounting a 20mm Type 98 autocannon. The first prototype was ready in 1934, and serial production began soon after. The exact number of SPAAGs produced is unknown, but approximately 5,000 Type 94 trucks were manufactured, and the Type 98 gun was the most common light anti-aircraft gun in Japan. The Type 94 was used by the Imperial Japanese Army during the Sino-Japanese War and World War II as part of tank divisions: the autocannon could fire both from the ground and from the truck bed.

ITALY


AS.42

HISTORY
The AS.42 “Sahariana” was an Italian World War II combat reconnaissance vehicle developed by SPA-Viberti for the Italian North African Corps. It was based on the popular AB 41 armored car , built on the chassis of the TM40 artillery tractor. The vehicle entered service in 1942, and at least 100 were produced. Depending on the mission, the vehicle could be equipped with a variety of armament options: a 20mm Breda Mod.35 cannon, a 20mm anti-tank rifle, a 47mm cannon , or conventional machine guns.

After receiving assurances from the North African company, the vehicles were relocated to Europe, where they were adapted to the changing climate: the upper row of fuel canisters was replaced with large ammunition caissons, a removable canvas roof and spare winches were added, the tires were replaced with thicker ones, and the technical instrumentation was expanded. A version modified for use in the mainland was named the Sahariana II or Metropolitana . The vehicles were used in the defense of Italy and on the Eastern Front, and after the war, a small number were issued to the military police, while the remainder could be sold to civilians.

I hope you will appreciate and support this suggestion!

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

well…

japan and the US have ones in the TT.
but can’t argue with more. as event.

as for the others, would agree.
one addition though, and mostly for UK ( guess event too? ),

the staghound AA

Staghound AA | War Thunder Wiki

which it’s also inside enlisted

EDIT:
actually, all vehicles you mention are in the editor ( except the GAZ ussr truck which was removed but the mentions are still inside. and the other exception which isn’t inside the game at all as of yet, the quad us AA halftrack. but for the rest, in some way are still present within the game )

[Aluci]

Nice AA i think BR I would suit him.

[Kilroy_was_HERE]

@Aluci

Sd.Kfz. 6/2

Sd.Kfz. 6/2 is in the editor and even was in some mod about the airfield
Тhere is already a Soviet AA anti-aircraft gun in the game, which is definitely better than the DSK.
The Italian car is also in the editor and is already working, but it is not fully configured.
The Japanese and American zinitki are in the TT, so they don’t really need them.

@Aluci

Sd.Kfz. 6/2

@Aluci

GAZ-AAA(DShK)

Both of these are in the game files

[Conscript_Joe]

For high br Commonwealth:

Fueled by maple syrup.

[Kilroy_was_HERE]

In general, it would be nice to have a separate class of anti-aircraft gunners who can build more powerful structures and drive separate vehicles, making this class hybrid.

[Deus_Vult88]

And this for axis on 4-5 br

[Aluci]

And Kugelblitz for germany

[Chris_Vector]

also in the game files, but the textures are bugged

[Conscript_Joe]

Yes!

I see those as balanced mirrors. Commonwealth skink has better armour, but 12,7. Whirl has 20, but a bit less armour.

I wonder what could be added for Soviets and Japan in high br

[Kilroy_was_HERE]

@Conscript_Joe

I wonder what could be added for Soviets and Japan in high br

In 1939-40, about 1,000 of the T-26’s turrets were converted into the T-26-8 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, which was armed with a 37 mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

OR

In February and March 1941, work was authorized on the development of a wide range of artillery systems to strengthen the armored forces. For example, it was planned to install a 76-millimeter support gun on the chassis of the T-50 tank, as well as a 25-millimeter anti-tank anti-aircraft machine gun of the 1940 model, on the chassis of the medium tank T-34 — 57- a 1941 millimeter anti-tank cannon, a 1910/30 107-millimeter cannon, and a 37-millimeter anti-aircraft machine gun, on the chassis of the KV heavy tank-1
37-mm T-34 ZSU. Savin Tower. USSR

there are many options, choose any one, I personally prefer the KV-1 with a 37mm cannon)))

[Conscript_Joe]

@Kilroy_was_HERE

which was armed with a 37 mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

Oh… ohohoh!!! I’d love that thing.
Mad power at the cost of armour.

Note:
Isn’t that the same canon as the br1 event vehicle thought? If so I doubt it should be very high br

[Admiral_Wenli]

skink uses polsten 20’s I thoughts?

Though honestly, imo, the wirbel is still better due to ammo type.

But skink irl was better ofc.

[Deus_Vult88]

@Conscript_Joe

I wonder what could be added for Soviets

[Conscript_Joe]

It uses 20? Doh I thought they were 12,7…

Still, in high br, could be a powerful infantry mower and plane killer.

[Admiral_Wenli]

oh yeah, the skink should be a BR5, the wirbel a BR4

[Conscript_Joe]

I don’t really mind what br those would be to be honest. They would be very good vs infantry… but not more than br2 HE sluggers. Would be powerful vs planes too.

But they would be terrible against any armoured vehicles.

So whatever the br I don’t care, I just want them.

[Bandeide]

I don,t know why the DEV,s have not put enough Mobile AAA.

Just LOVE YOU SUJESTION.
