Description
The Complesso da 12.7mm su CM 52 is a rank II Italian SPAA with a battle rating of 2.3 (AB/RB/SB). It was introduced in Update "Apex Predators".
The CM52 is a solid AA choice for its tier, being equipped with four 12.7 mm M2 machine guns and is in many ways similar to the M13 and M16 GMCs. It does suffer from a lack of armour and poor frontal gun depression, but makes up for it in speed.

Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat? If necessary use a visual template to indicate the most secure and weak zones of the armour.

Usage in battles
The CM52 works similarly to the M16 MGMC, as they both have the same armament and thus have more or less the same playstyle.
Staying in a spot with good visibility, including but not limited to the spawnpoint, will allow clear visibility and easy detection of enemy aircraft. Shooting at a plane from afar reduces the probability of hitting it, and since most aircraft will be performing ground attack roles, it is advised to be in a spot near action. But if you choose to be in one of those spots, make sure to stay hidden or have an ally nearby to protect you from enemy tanks. In an emergency, the guns can be turned onto the tracks of a tank, or even be used to destroy certain lightly-armoured vehicles like the Puma or the M22.
Since the CM52 is a SPAA, you can't take your eyes off the sky for long. If an enemy plane is nearby, shoot at it or where it is going to be. Despite not having cannons like the previous AS 42 or the succeeding M42 Contraereo, the CM52 can still pack a punch and presents a real threat to enemy aircraft if used correctly
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Excellent armament which shreds most aircraft and is capable of destroying light tanks
- Being a wheeled vehicle, it is faster than most tanks
- Slightly smaller profile than the M13 or M16 means that it is easier to hide
Cons:
- Has wheels instead of tracks, slowing it down in soft terrain like sand, snow or mud
- No cannons unlike its predecessor and successor;
- Little armour protection: an HE shell, a strafing aircraft or even tank machine gun fire may knock it out
- Cannot shoot directly in front
- Poor depression of the machine guns
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.
