    The Skink is a weird boy in AA terms, but weird in a good way. Yeah, the shell velocity is low, but unlike most AA it can weather most ground fire at the ranges it's fire doesn't effectively reach, and it's often a "bomb or no-go" vehicle for planes to deal with. If it got the same penetration as the Wirblewind's cannons, it'd be absolutely perfect at it's 4.7 BR, but right now it probably belongs juuuuuust a touch lower alongside the Ystervark at 4.3. I mean, it's the same gun as the AEC AA has, right? Just more of them on a better protected chassis.

    I haven't played in a couple of years but when I did I always found any british AA before the Falcon to be worthless. They were super hard to hit anything with and even when you did hit they just sparked and did almost no damage.
    Also, it looked like you got 2 assists for the I-15. I didn't even know that was possible.

    Not because it was bad but because by the time it was deployed the German Luftwaffe was so depleted that none of the frontline Skink units were actually engaged by enemy aircraft.
    The Candians used them as infantry support vehicles & they did pretty good at it for a SPAA pulling double duty.

      Odd and Phly play with really good monitors and max graphics, so that helps *TH-cam compresses footage so it looks way worse than it actually is). But you can also sort of guess the most common cas planes the nations you face tend to use and judge it based on wing span and approach etc.

    The per round damage isn't like the m19 or whatever it is. But the survivability is far greater, and you have a higher volume of fire.

    Ready wish it had more armor pen, especially on a hardened mobile platform where you could at least pen side armor. SPAA is mixed bag for me take one out after your initial death to help prevent revenge bombing spam but if you survive now in a vehicle worthless against that BRs medium and heavy tanks unless you can get a lucky engine shot unless you maybe manage to cripple gun barrel of opponent

    Not sure how the Wirbelwind has a slower reload when it has a bigger, open turret. I do think the Skink is superior in terms of effective firing rate and protection.

    Love they added it after asking for ages, but Gajin artificially slowed the vertical drive down so it feels pretty clunky to lead with it's odd muzzle velocity, on top of a very small magazine that feeds 4 guns each.
