A legendary GMC truck chassis equipped with an automatic 40mm caliber Bofors cannon is a French recipe for a powerful, adaptable anti-aircraft gun—and it will roll into War Thunder accompanied by some all new French tanks in War Thunder update 1.75!
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.
Various allied armies other than the US used the reliable GMC trucks. France adopted a variant of the 1941 model with a simplified cabin design and longer chassis—the military all-wheel-drive (6x6) GMC CCKW 353. Equipped with a 40mm Bofors cannon (very familiar to War Thunder naval warfare testers), the GMC vehicle was transformed into a mobile anti-air defense platform that could also be used against ground targets, such as enemy infantry, lightly armored vehicles, and fortifications.
In War Thunder, the self-propelled anti-air GMC CCKW 353 with the Bofors cannon occupies the medium ranks of the French armor tech tree. The vehicle has no armor, so its role on the battlefield is solely to support allies. The CCKW 353 commander has two types of ammunition available: a tracer, high-explosive fragmenting round perfectly suited for destroying airplanes, and a solid armor-piercing tracer round capable of destroying enemy tanks and armored vehicles.
In addition to this adaptable, French anti-air platform, we are pleased to present some new, French tankman model specially created for the new French ground vehicles coming in War Thunder update 1.75. See you there!

Tier III? so either its a low-br Tier III or its aa only (sadly no second SdKfz 6/2)
First off. Nice truck. Second of all, does this make this a second devlog?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPWBt_HXXMA&t=943s
The Studebaker US6 is the nicest looking truck ever.
Is this SPAA or a tank destroyer?!
if the gun performs like the ones on M19, or Duster, this thing will be pretty terrible against planes. (tanks on the other hand...)
we need proximity fused high explosives with shrapnel for the Bofors. That's what we used in the olden days. The firing rate on the Boforses seems a little slow though.. Our L70's had a rate of 8 shots per second. I know the L60s were a little slower, but the rate in game seems too slow.
Wankermotor, oops 8 per second was per battery. each gun was 4 per second.
Petiton: Call the French Tanker Lad Jean Luc
Will we be seeing the AMX 30?
We can't tell yet. That being said, the path taken after the 1950-1960 German-french post war tank project failure, and choices made by both country in term of tank development should give you some insight of what's probably going to happen ;)
Ouiche, ^_^
Its long, its not too tall and neither too wide... IT IS PERFECT... unlike some other bagguetes we probally will get that look like have fallen out of the oven before being ready...
Will you add accurate tank crew to germans and russians?
How might one get into closed beta if you already bought a pack?
It should be automatic as soon as 1.75 hit the production server, with your normal War Thunder installation. You log-in, clic on the french flag, select a tank, play.
