Team Yankee: British Marksman AA Battery (New)
The Marksman system was developed as a turret-mounted twin 35mm autocannon, designed to provide NATO forces with highly mobile low-level air defense. It could be fitted to multiple tank chassis, including the Chieftain and Challenger. With war looming in 1984, the British Ministry of Defence rushed the system into service, deploying it to protect armoured regiments in Germany from Warsaw Pact aircraft. In World War III: Team Yankee, the Marksman AA Battery gives British forces reliable and lethal anti-air coverage.

About the Vehicle
The Marksman turret was armed with twin Oerlikon 35mm autocannons paired with advanced radar fire-control systems. Mounted on the proven Chieftain chassis, it combined heavy armour protection with excellent mobility and the ability to engage helicopters and low-flying jets, filling a critical gap in NATO air defense during the Cold War.
