Title: A lament
Post by: badhorse on March 20, 2008, 07:02:15 AM

First I want to give kudos to HTC for the changes.  They were excellent.  The P39 looks like it is going to be fun and the wirlbelwind is going to be a blast (no pun intended).  Adding AI to the offline area (with more to come it appears) is most welcomed.  The new skins on the fleet are outstanding.

I regret they didn't strengthen the ground to air defesne in the EW arena.  Still only thin skin M16s available.

It's hard to do for EW, with fewer dedicated AA vehicles from that era...IMHO, an M-16 would be MW, at it's earliest introduction, so it's possible that it's a stand-in as it is.

What other SP AA gun was there in the early war years?  Was there anything from, say, 1939 to 1941?

Very vulnerable, but more punch than a M-16
Production began 1939.
