What is that... Thing?!

And yes I know it's an M15... He just told me. But... Ewwww.

Is this what you folks are still using for air defense in Korea due to sequestration and prioritization elsewhere? :oops::cry:

Obviously it's far worse. Sequestration had forced the armed forces to use the anti air slingshot.

Not against low flying helicopters if they dont see you.

Also not every country knows this and some are still using world war 2 weapons, dont ask which country...
 
Honestly 12,7-57 mm weapons are still very usefull against ground targets, with 12,7 mm and 14,5 mm machine guns being succesfull against transport helicopters in Afganistan, Iraq and Syria. But I agree that for serious AA work you need radar guidance.

Nope, with a capable enough radar set (like, oh, the Sgt. York's), the only way you can avoid detection is having a mountain or particularly tall hill or a solid structure (i.e. anything that creates a sensor shadow) between you and the radar set. If it isn't solid, then it can draw a line between you and the radar which means 'blaaaaaap-boom' time for the aircraft or helicopter.

I know Radars very well thank you.
 
Sweden made prototype of Stritzwagn2000 tank with 140mm and coaxial 40mm guns.Pity,that it never was made.
 
The increase in power simply wasn't big enough to justify increase in weight, recoil and space taken, along with decreased ammo capacity.
