TEAM YANKEE AMERICAN M42 DUSTER (x1)
The M42 Duster entered U.S. service in 1952 as a dedicated armoured anti-aircraft platform, mounting twin 40mm Bofors autocannons capable of delivering an impressive rate of fire. While initially phased out in the early 1960s, the Duster was brought back into frontline service during the Vietnam War when newer missile systems such as the HAWK proved ineffective at close range. Its high-volume fire made it valuable not only against aircraft but also as a devastating ground-support weapon.
In Team Yankee, the M42 Duster offers flexible anti-air and infantry-support capability, making it a versatile addition to multiple armies across different Cold War settings.
Product Info:

About the Vehicle:
Built on the M41 Walker Bulldog chassis, the M42 provided a rugged, mobile anti-aircraft solution with excellent visibility and rapid firepower. Though surpassed by missile technology, its effectiveness in close-range engagements ensured its continued use in key Cold War conflicts.
