-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese SPAA {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Direct Hit"]].
+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was American surplus equipment at the end of WWII, and was handed down to Japanese national forces for self-defense and building of a Japanese reserve in the image of the US military. Serving through the NSF and JGSDF, they were in service until 1974 when they were deemed obsolete.
-As American surplus equipment at the end of WWII, the [[M16 MGMC]] was handed down to Japanese national forces for self-defense and building of a Japanese reserve in the image of the US military.
+It was introduced in [[Update "Direct Hit"]]. Being a simple hand-me-down from the US, it plays and is exactly the same as the [[M16 MGMC]], offering 4x .50 M2HBs in a single mount, it destroys aircraft by the sheer volume of fire which is further helped by the Incendiary it carries in its belts. Armour protection is little to rely upon, but due to the placement of the crew, it may survive more often than not when fired upon.

-After unlocking parts and FPE, the best course of action is getting the API belt, offering about 30 mm of penetration and a full belt of incendiary munition which will cause havoc among planes and lightly armored vehicles alike. After unlocking the API belt turret adjustments and mobility upgrades can be chosen at player's discretion.
