Introduction

北欧生まれの世界的ベストセラーの40mm対空機関砲、その艦載四連装バージョンです。
ベースとなった傑作機関砲は、彼我含めて多くの国々に採用されました。
優れた中~近距離近接対空火器として、米英海軍艦艇にも装備されました。

The shipborne, quadruple-mounted version of the Nordic-created worldwide bestselling 40 mm anti-air autocannon.
The base version of the gun was considered a masterpiece and as such was adopted by many countries including the enemy forces.
Proving to be excellent at short-range surface-to-air fire, it was equipped on many US and British Navy vessels as well.

Mechanics

  AA Guns are equippable in RE. They are mainly used to provide "Anti-Air", notably via their AA   stat. They:

  • Are notably required in most AACI.
  • Trigger a tracer-fire effect during air combat.
  • Bring an accuracy bonus against PT Imp.

"AA Rocket Launchers" may be described and displayed differently, they still behave like regular AA guns.

Notes

Not to be confused with other guns of this manufacturer (see here).
