The '''{{Specs|name}}''', like the [[M16 MGMC (Japan)]], was American surplus equipment at the end of WWII, and was gifted to the start-up of the JSDF. Serving in the JASDF and JGSDF, they were in service until 1979 when they were deemed obsolete.

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

* 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.

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.

Description

The Twin Gun Motor Carriage M19A1 is a rank Japanese SPAA with a battle rating of (AB), (RB), and (SB). It was introduced in Update "Direct Hit".

General info

Survivability and armour

Armour type:

  • Rolled homogeneous armour (hull, turret)
Armour Front (Slope angle) Sides Rear Roof
Hull 12.7 mm (59°) Upper glacis
12.7 mm (45°) Lower glacis 		12.7 mm (11°) 12.7 mm 12.7 mm
Turret 12.7 mm (cylindrical) Gun shield - lower part
12.7 mm (spherical) Gun shield - upper part 		8 mm (cylindrical)
8 + 12.7 mm (cylindrical) Turret base 		8 mm (cylindrical)
8 + 12.7 mm (cylindrical) Turret base

Notes:

  • Suspension wheels are 10 mm thick while tracks are 15 mm thick.

The M19A1 (Japan) is so lightly armoured that it is very vulnerable to nearby ammorack detonations, bomb blasts and even heavy MG fire can reliably penetrate the vehicle from beyond 1,000 m. As the M19A1 (Japan) has an open-topped turret, gun servants are also very exposed to MG fire, artillery strikes and plane strafings.

Ammo racks of the M19A1 (Japan)

Notes:

  • The visual discrepancy concerns racks and clips: racks are modelled to contain 5 clips while clips are modelled to contain 5 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.
  • No rack is emptied before you have fired 21 clips out of 44.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in a bulleted list. Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - use substitutions with softer forms such as "inadequate" and "effective".

Pros:

  • Heavy anti-air firepower
  • Powerful 40 mm HE shells, can decimate/critically damage aircraft
  • Reloads in 0.6 seconds
  • Good mobility

Cons:

  • Open top, exposing loaders and gunners
  • Compared to other SPAA at the same rank, poor anti-vehicle performance
  • Little armour
  • Decreased mobility off-road
  • Exposed ammo rack

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
