Показать описание

The GAZ-AAA(4M) is the first anti-air in the Soviet research tree, it is equipped with 4 7.62mm machine guns and has a crew of 3 - 2 in the driving compartment and 1 manning the guns.

The GAZ-AAA(4M) 7.62 is belt feed and has 2000 rounds (500 per gun). It has access to 4 types of round (AP-I) with 12mm of penetration at 100m, (T) with 4mm of penetration at 100m, (AI) with 3mm of penetration at 100m and (API-T) with 8mm of penetration at 100m. These rounds make up the 4 different types of belt that can be used by the GAZ-AAA(4M):
• Default which is (AI), (AP-I), (AP-I), (AP-I), (T).
• Universal which is (API-T), (AP-I), (T).
• API which is (AP-I), (API-T), (API-T).
• APIT which is (API-T).

The GAZ-AAA(4M) has a reload rate of 7.8 seconds and reloads all 4 guns at once - this leaves short periods where you cannot fire at the enemy so keeping an eye on your ammo is key as you do not want to run out when being strafed by an enemy plane.

The GAZ-AAA(4M) has one big problem as an anti-air, it can only look 50° vertically meaning if attacked by an enemy from above you will not be able to defend yourself. This is where the GAZ-AAA(4M) good mobility comes into play as it has a top speed of 46km/h (RB) so you can drive away when being strafed - this can increase the chances of survival.

Key:
(AP-I) = Armour-Piercing Incendiary
(T) = Tracer
(AI) = Adjustment Incendiary
(API-T) = Armour-Piercing Incendiary Tracer
(RB) = Realistic Battles
