New light SPAA's inbound!
Today we're pleased to show you the progress of the upcoming Tier 0 Light SPAA's (Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft) vehicles that will soon enter WWII Online. This update will include detailed screenshots of the three SPAA's for the German, British and French forces, along with a video walkthrough by CHIMM. These vehicles will be featured in our next patch release. Join our subscriber base and help us continue to make efforts like these possible.

We're very excited about these in-game, mainly because this makes SPAA's part of the WWIIOL campaign the whole time! These Tier 0 SPAA's will eventually get phased out as the war progresses and are replaced by the larger SPAA's we currently have in-game.
They can be multicrewed, and you DO NOT need to be stationary in order to fire. This makes multicrewing opportunities really interesting as you can, "Shoot, move and communicate," while dodging enemy aircraft strafing you. It'll also be very interesting to see how players use this against anti-personnel (we can see a couple of drive by's happening in-game).
Let's take a closer look at each vehicle.
Here's the British "Bedford" showing you the gunner perspective, the commander is sitting in front of him and is responsible for deploying the gun and using binoculars. Then of course there's the driver.
Here's the French Laffly SPAA. A very similar setup but is using the CMLE weapon sight, whereas the British Bedford is iron sights-like.
The German Opel Blitz of course was outfitted with its newer Flak38.
