crusader AA
« on: October 02, 2009, 06:52:33 PM »
How about the crusader AA mark I or II/III?
Mark I
40mm armour
Bofors 40mm AA gun
speed 24 to 42 km/h
1 or 2 besa machine guns


Mark II/III
49/51mm armour
Twin oerlikon 20mm guns
speed 24 to 42 km/h
1 or 2 besa machine guns


production numbers were vague and sketchy from what i've been looking at,but it looks like they were around the 300 mark each

Heck i'd like to see the crusader II and III regular tanks with the 3 inch howitzer or the 6 pounder included too

Seems to me like the allied versions of both the ostwind and the whirbley! I'm all for both additions  :aok

Bring them on!

Both look more survivable than the Ost/wirble.

Would help in scenarios & such.  Looks funny having an allied plane/tank set but using Wirb/Ostis.
