U110203118: I corrected the description of the M13 MGMC because I saw the incorrect wording of Quad .50 Cal mount when the M13 MGMC which I switched to Dual Because the M13 MGMC Has 2 .50 caliber machine guns not 4. M16 MGMC is the one with 4

 The '''GAZ-AAA (4M)''' is the first variant of the GAZ-AAA-based self-propelled anti-aircraft gun family. It is a Soviet anti-aircraft truck developed in 1938, based on the GAZ-AAA truck platform and armed with a quad 7.62 mm Maxim light machine gun. The 7.62 mm Maxim light machine guns originate from a World War I Russian Imperial stockpile, of which thousands were available after the war ended. With the unexpected German invasion of the Soviet Union, the Soviets lacked dedicated anti-aircraft guns. As a result, during the early stages of World War II, many improvised and makeshift anti-aircraft guns are designed. Given its high fire rate, the quad 7.62 mm Maxim light machine gun was extremely effective against low-flying targets. Unfortunately, due to a lack of historical articles and resources, little is known about this improvised anti-aircraft gun. The GAZ-AAA (4M) was delivered in the late summer and winter of 1941, before being replaced by a more powerful variant, the GAZ-AAA (DShK). A total of 37,373 units were produced.
-Introduced in [[Update 1.49 "Weapons of Victory"]], the GAZ-AAA (4M) is a very light vehicle that provides adequate deterrence against early aircraft like biplanes. It is not recommended to charge into the battle and engage any enemy vehicles since the weaponry does not have the penetration to damage anything. With a large ammunition pull available, players can fire confidently without fear of running out of bullets.

It is a Soviet anti-aircraft truck developed in 1938, based on the GAZ-AAA truck platform and armed with a quad 7.62 mm Maxim light machine gun. The GAZ-AAA was a truck manufactured by GAZ. Between 1936 and 1943, a total of 37,373 units were constructed. It was largely based on the Ford Model AA truck, as were the GAZ-AA and GAZ-MM. These trucks were frequently used as anti-aircraft platforms, with either quad 7.62mm Maxim light machine guns, one 12.7mm DShK heavy machine gun, or a single 25mm 72-K autocannon mounted.

 * [[Pz.II]], [[M3 Stuart (Family)|M3 Stuart]], etc: these tanks, although designated as "light" tanks, are literally heavy tanks for the GAZ-AAA's weak guns, therefore impossible to get destroyed. They also have superior mobility and firepower, so if you see them it is best to leave them to your teammates. If it is safe enough you can shoot a few shots at their tracks, barrel, etc to show them on the minimap.
-* [[M13 MGMC]]: this is a commonly seen SPAA with armour enough to resist rifle-calibre bullets and firepower enough to vaporise poorly protected crews. Target its Dual .50 cal mount to disable its gunner first, then you can just shoot at the gun mount as its elevation drive, guns, ammo, etc are all exposed. The armoured cabin can only be penetrated if you two are face to face, a distance of more than 200 m will render your bullets useless.
