Experience of combat actions in the first years of the war and the extremely high effectiveness of the German's mobile anti-aircraft guns made the American high command think about developing their own mobile anti-aircraft systems. An upgraded turret by Maxson, equipped with 4 combined Browning machine guns, was fitted to the chassis of the M3 multi-purpose armored vehicle and, by May 1943, the new vehicle had entered service with the US Army. Such AA systems were part of special anti-aircraft and artillery battalions and were equally effective at hitting enemy aircraft, infantry and light armored vehicles.

In Game
Is very effective in taking out groups of infantry. However due to its armor and open cabine. This vehicle is very vurnable to AT-rifles, 20 mm, .50 call and normal gun fire.

For the same 14 point it is better spend on the Greyhound.
