Looks like anti-personnel to me...not much in AH terms.

No open cockpit, wouldn't be as vulnerable to Aircraft guns as the Osti/wirblewind.

Would be interesting to see how it would play out.

The tank in the pic is based on the Canadian Ram. It is a Skink AA mounting 4 20mm Polsten cannons. It was shipped to the ETO in 1945 and used operationally by the 1st Canadian Army. With few areial targets it was used against enemy ground forces.

Goto Google and type in "French military victories", then hit "I'm feeling lucky".
Here lie these men on this sun scoured atoll,
The wind for their watcher, the wave for their shroud,
Where palm and pandanus shall whisper forever,
A requiem fitting for heroes
