I know of a German 4x 20mm anti-aircraft gun. Here's the specs:

2cm Flakvierling 38
4 barrel 20mm AAA unit. Either towed, self-propelled, or static-type emplacement.

Caliber: 20x85.3mm
Effective ceiling: 3,500 ft
Max. horizontal range: 5,230 ft
Rate of fire [collective]: 800 rpm
Elevation: -10º to +100º
Muzzle velocity [HE]: 2,950 feet/sec

If you wanted something even worse than the M16 we've got now, this is it. Mount this quad 20mm unit on a half-track and you've got the ultimate in AAA defense. Think of an Fw-190 A8 that drives around and shoots at planes  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

For game play you mean? cause there was no such beast. The canadians had an AA tank that was like a Sherman(ram) with 4 hispanos on it. I dont know what travers speed would be but it would kick butt.

Anything !  some type of AA unit that has a chance of killing a plane from a greater distance than present , i dont care if its a 20mm rifle !  just something that can reach out a bit more. that 4x20 spec'd out thingy sounds great.

Hmm, seen this discussion b4, actually, you want a wirblewind, quad 20mm on a pzIV hull
or an Ostwind, twin 37mm on pzIV hull
