Add the M16 MGMC and the Wirbelwind as AA vehicles

Personally I don’t think that would be a great idea - 99% of players would probably just drive around and massacre infantery instead of looking for planes.

There would be no need for these, the base AA gun does the job and an AA tank would just be a waste of a tank slot.

The topic was discussed many times. I will just repeat my answer:
AA guns not only kill planes, it also massacres the infantry. Now imagine moving 4x20mm or 4x0.5Cal cannons.
M16 hasn’t armor, but wirbelwind has. Units should be balanced
So just make it so the AA guns cant traverse low enough to engage infantry that way it’s always pointed toward the sky
HE DISCOVERED SIMPLE MAGIC TRICK TO SHOT TO INFANTRY >>>SEE HOW<<<
We can’t artificially block the gun depression in AA guns, what if the plane is going so low that depression won’t let the AA reach the plane?
Only if we get new vehicle class so it won’t block tank slots.
I’m thinking about something like “infantry support vehicles” so APCs, armoured cars, mortar halftracks, tankettes etc. that are no match for tank but still have great effect over infantry.

Issue is those would all be mostly worthless.
Map transport is useless, this isn’t like H&G where the maps are several KM wide, but I’d say around 500m * 500m of playable area. Things like Half-tracks/Jeeps would be essentially worthless, where APC/Armoured cars would just be annoying portable MG nests.
I’d love it if the maps where H&G so utility vehicles are actually useful.

Yeah, I assumed we will have bigger maps. Otherwise adding any vehicles is next to worthless.
It’s really what makes bolt actions so worthless is generally you’re in the engagement range of the semi-auto’s one shot zone, outside of the rare occurance of D-Day in normandy. But once you 4 star your M1 that becomes less of an issue unless you’re at scope range in D-day. Garand essentially it’s the same 1 shot zone as a base bolt action. (Which LMG’s just surpass both with large clips, same kill range base as a 4 star bolt action, and have the hipfire accuracy of an SMG (that isn’t the STEN.)
But to add on it’s what makes AA vehichles so useless just run engineer, By the time you have engi 2, all your infantry has turned into subpar assaults (M2 Carbine is just an SMG with a fuck ton of recoil) or super assaults (FG-42), and the assault class maybe outside of USA becomes mostly pointless.
