GMC CCKW 353 (40 mm Bofors): French Anti Air Truck

Post by ZakTheBuilder1 »

The CCKW 353 is a truck based SPAA mounting a single Bofors 40 mm in the back of the truck. The truck itself is an American-made GMC CCKW 353 2 1/2-ton 6x6 truck commonly known as the "Deuce sand a half".

Nicknamed the "Deuce-and-a-half" by the U.S. army, the American 2.5 ton triple-axle 6x6 made by GMC is a true army workhorse. GMC trucks were vital to supplying and equipping allies after land operations began in Europe, and more than 560 thousand of these trucks were produced during World War II. They proved invaluable to supply lines and the battlefield. The GMC CCKW 353 was a combat model of the famous truck equipped with a 40mm anti-aircraft gun and used by the French in WWII

Good idea. Cost should be 2, and otherwise identical to the US mobile AA gun, maybe with a bit less damage
