The SPAA is a much needed weapon in this game(in my opinion), more so than the CV. Currently the AA is slower than the gameplay. I understand why it is so slow since it needs to be limbered to move, then set up and pointed skyward to fire. I propose we get the SPAA which was made to protect convoys since the AA could not do the job of protecting convoys so armies needed something to give air cover. Everyone had SPAA's with German ones becoming famous.
It would require lvl 1 AA researched and be as expensive as a LT. It should have good stats against inf since they were commonly used offensively and defensively against them. Very weak against armour so they don't become OP. They should be as fast a MT so they can't be used for fast advances with LT to replace mech and motofantry. The unit must not become OP if the devs make it, only good against inf and air. It would also help solve the current aircraft bug(to a certain degree).

And while they're at it, why not add SP artillery too. Even more widely used irl than SPAA. And SP anti tank.
Maybe as an upgrade to the regular AA etc, or as a separate line.
That is a tank destroyer.BlackPrince2 wrote:

I am glad that you support the idea but this is a unit to help lower the effects of a plaguing bug and help in general too.
Surprised there isn't more discussion. Anyone have any other things to add to the SPAA unit?
It could be it's own upgrade chain in the armour category, for example (If your germany) you could have, starting from the top:
I'd like to see both the SPA and the SPAA. It'll add much more swiftness to arty attacks and crushing the remaining planes that are on the ground.
That would be great.
That would result in SPA and SPAA giving up firepower in exchange for mobility. It also means that the regular slower moving artillery and anti-air should have a damage boost. That or they could simply just make the SPA and SPAA very expensive to make compared to the other to their slower counterparts. In my opinion, this would then reduced the regular artillery and anti-air to defense purposes only. Not bad I suppose. It was like that to begin with anyway in world war II since longer range artillery were more primarily done by railroad guns and most artillery jobs were overshadowed by planes as aircraft technology grew.
Tank destroyers could be pretty awesome, mainly for defense in my opinion.
Why? They would be fast AT guns, very good.kubickle wrote:

Nothing like a bunch of Stugs on a hill waiting for a T-34 onslaught..
We are talking about SPAA, not TD.
Then why'd you reply?Butter Ball Bill wrote:

I try to be polite until the person starts promoting too much useless junk.
How many levels of SPAA would there be? I was thinking maybe 4 levels.
Anyone else have some actually useful input to the conversation?
Good luck.
You could start with artillery on a truck, then purpose built SPA like the Sexton or the Priest.
Dave, this is the SPAA thread. It is self propelled anti-air, not arty.
Oh, I revert to my previous input about guns on vans.
Oh, alright. Like the Russian's 4M GAZ(I think thats what its called).
And the U.S m16/M19 and the British skink, that might be the name of the Russian one, I know of another on starting with ZSU- something
