Kugelblitz (Germany)
A turret that protects the crew from small arms fire and two automatic 30 mm MK103/38 cannons, which will make your enemies think twice whether to attempt an attack from the air. But who said the cannons can only be used against aircraft, right?
Skink (USA)
An anti-aircraft tank based on the Canadian version of the M4A1 Sherman featuring four automatic 20 mm Polsten cannons.
Its caliber isn’t as impressive as that of its German counterpart, but its barrage is no less fearsome!

What? Anti-aircraft vehicles? I thought it would take years before they added them to the game.
That’s amazing! It’s even the Kugelblitz! Lucky I haven’t spent my coins recklessly yet.
Now there’s every reason to bring out the Wirbelwind, Ostwind and Soviet twin 37mm AA vehicles that have been left unused in the editor for ages. The single-barrel AA guns at BR5 can barely intercept those high-speed aircraft anymore. Hopefully these new AA units won’t take up regular tank slots.
All at BR3! That’s awesome! Will there be more AA vehicles in the tech tree later? The Kugelblitz and Skink—man, I’m worried people will complain they’re too strong and get them bumped to BR4.
By the way, will the Soviets and Japanese get advanced AA vehicles down the line? In War Thunder, most Soviet AA trucks can’t depress their barrels far enough to fire in front of the cab. I’ve seen mods like Gates of Hell raise the mount to fix that. Wonder if Enlisted will do the same.
I suggest upgrading the Flakpanzer IV Kugelblitz to Level 4 BR to give anti-aircraft vehicles an additional entry point, with a separate spot like the APCs have
