History[]
496 M42 entered service in 1956. These served in the Flak Regiments being replaced by Gepard starting in 1976.
Overview and tactics (EE)[]
- At just 15 points, the M42A1 is an extremely cheap SPAAG, and together with the large amount of reserves, it will play a crucial role in providing enough air defense when the much more capable Flakpanzer Gepard's are not available.
- With a range of 1750 m and relatively low accuracy, the M42A1 can only be used in an ambush position.
- It's biggest drawbacks are it's very limited operational range, due to the very high fuel consumption of 4 Liters per kilometer. As such, the logistical demand of the M42A1 is quite high.
