      Hi!

      Centaur AA is pretty useless against infantry, however it uses a 20 mm AA cannon, specifically this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20_mm_Polsten

      It should obliterate all infantry like the other AA trucks and 20 mm tanks like the luchs, instead it does like this on this video from 24:20 to 24:53. At 24:53 it was not the centaur which made the kill, but the other player with commandos, you can see the floating xp was yellow, so centaur did no kill at all.

      Mmm do you feel it weak. I personlly fee it really anoying some times. Specially with player who use two at a time.

      Compared to the other 20 milimeters (AA trucks and luchs), yes, totally weak. I might do a comparison video of it, but if you check these times on the video I previously posted: 24:20 to 24:53, you can see it barely makes any damage.

      I find it really annoying that a 50 cal or an MG with armor piercing rounds blows up vehicles faster than light cannon or 20mm autocannon fire.

      We do plan to adjust 50cal versus light vehicles. However it is a huge job to redo every vehicles target tables so it may take some time..

      Yesterday I played as SS freiwilligen, they have 20 milimeter armored car (idk what other german doc has this too, i dont really play axis). So I built it to kill the USA AA truck. Well my 20 mil armored car did no damage at all to the AA truck (only lightning icon crit, shock crew maybe?), and after AA truck destroyed my armored car with one burst.

      Is this a bug?

      Maybe? You are going to need to be more specific if you want us to check it. Which 20mm? Which AA truck? Which ammo?

      It was the 222 spahwagen. It has HE ammo by default and need to change it manually to AP (for ammo) like in luchs, so its ok I guess. But USA AA trucks can kill both infantry and light armored trucks very fast with the same default ammo, is it because of realistic ammo\gun modeling?

      Stoked to hear it’s in the pipeline! I’ve noticed the same thing with the AA half track (US and Soviet versions). Always infuriating to see the Puma die to that.

      It’s happened to a lesser degree with other 50Cal half tracks. E.g. the Soviet Artillery observer kills Wehr light vehicles with ease.
