+''Due to its low rate of fire, it is more challenging than previous Japanese SPAA in its proper, anti-aircraft role. Therefore, it is encouraged to be more careful with shots against aircraft.'' ''However, its 40mm ammunition deals much more damage against any enemy aircraft (or ground vehicle) one may face.''

+Due to the lack of armour, this vehicle should never be used to engage ground vehicles. Keep it for engaging air targets, but always be aware of the limited ammo that's available.

 '''Notes''':
-* The visual discrepancy concerns racks and clips: racks are modelled to contain 5 clips while clips are modelled to contain 5 rounds.
+* Ammunition is modelled as 44 clips of 8 rounds
-* The game however shoots 8 rounds per clip and racks disappear after varying amounts of rounds have been shot. Example: Racks 2 to 13 are the same size (25 rounds) but some disappear after 2 clips were fired (16 rounds), some others disappear only after 1 clip (8 rounds) has been fired.
+* The visual discrepancy concerns the total number of rounds: 312 rounds are modeled but you can pack 352 rounds.

-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 [[M19A1]], offering 2x 40 mm in a large open-top turret. Having relatively high armour penetration and the benefit of being built on the [[M24 (Family)|M24 Chaffee]], it can be used to flank ground vehicles with and demolish ground targets. While fighting air targets with the M19 may prove more difficult than previous Japanese anti-air, offering 40 mm auto cannons, the fire rate is diminished but exchanges it for shell velocity and single shell damage potential that can shred planes with a single hit.
