At last allied AA vehicle that doesn't die to 2 shots.

Ostwind fans, you'll have allied counterpart challenger.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

British looking good. USF is going to need some changes or UKF and SOV going to be only allied played factions. With Axis it is going to be interesting facing a faction that is looking very similar to the OST.

'20mm Strafing Fire'

I can smell the OP threads incoming

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

"The Centaur AA Mk. II Cruiser Tank is a heavily armored anti-aircraft platform with powerful twin 20mm Polsten guns."

Centaurs were heavily armored?... No wonder this thing bounced panzer IV shells in Alpha. People will sure be happy to find that out when they try to use a medium tank to kill it Kappa
