Team Yankee: American M247 Sergeant York AA Platoon
The M247 Sergeant York was developed under the U.S. Army’s DIVAD (DIVision Air Defense) program as a modern replacement for the M163 VADS. Entering production in 1981, it mounted twin 40mm Bofors cannons on a modified M48 Patton chassis, designed to provide mobile anti-air coverage for armoured formations. In World War III: Team Yankee, the M247 adds heavy-calibre air defense to American forces, shredding enemy helicopters and low-flying aircraft with devastating firepower.
