Fun fact, the Polsten is an Oerlikon, with a design adapted by Polish engineers who fled to England to be cheaper to manufacture. It was already a very simple design so that's a fairly impressive accomplishment.

[@Bialy_1]

Ekhm, they reduced number of parts from 250 parts to 119 parts without sacrificing the effectiveness or the reliability of the cannon. I have no idea how you ended up with conclusion that this was a very simple design... I would say that Polish self-repeating rifle Kbsp wz.38M was a simple design as it was using ten times less parts.

Another fun fact: the oerlikons the polstens are based off of are of German origin

[@DraconX3]

The Skinks is the only vehicle in game that uses the Polsten 20mm cannons. Edit: Apparently the Polsten is a Polish design, made after many engineers and such escaped to England after Germany invaded. It shares much with the Oerlikon 20mm guns, but uses fewer parts while being just as effective. It was used to substitute the Oerlikon 20mms where needed, and infact was used on some of the Cromwell/Centaur AA vehicles but most often in multi gun mounts on towed trailers. Apparently it was also in limited fashion, mounted on some Briths LVT's and as a rooftop side mounted gun on early models of the Centurions.

I think the reason the skink "overheats" so much quicker than the ostwind (though the ostwind definately has way too much time before overheating) is because of its closed turret, as the fumes from firing the 4 autocannons inside the turret would become dangerous for the crew if you werent to wait for them to vent out for a little bit

[@Fischbroetchen2k]

You mean the part around 13:00 ? He was about to say that you have to let the aircraft come closer. Most people shoot while the aircraft are miles away, they won´t ever hit shit and the Aircraft will surely stay away. I play a shitton of CAS.. and if a dude shoots at me from like 2km away, I have a good laugh and stay away and as soon as he shoots somewhere else I yoink him, since his constant firing let me know his position at all times. So first, move out of the spawn and away from your AA spamming noob teammates. Second, get into a good position like close to a capture point but still in good cover from tanks Third, get patient and try to wait til the aircraft comes as close as possible and preferably flies as straight as possible~ And general rule even I have to remind myself of after a couple thousands of hours in WT: If you don´t hit there is a 99% chance you are not leading enough. BONUS for the meme bois: If you want an aircraft to come closer and you for certain know that dude is thirsty for a ground unit kill, turn your turret away from him, preferably somewhere a teammate of his is flying. Use free look camera to keep track of him and shoot just into the void away from him while saying "Ohh I am such a weak little noob anti air, I can´t hit anything I am sooo defenseless" (trust me this helps and makes your buddies in Discord cry in laughter if you get the kill) then turn the turret once he takes the bait and just annihilate him.

The flag in game that is on the Skink is the old Canadian flag, not too widely recognized much today. Also it entered the game at 4.7, which I thought was perfect since I mainly run 4.7, like my 2 firefly's, churchill, Spitfire mk9c, and a Crusader III and or the SARC 6pndr, since both are good lights, and both have decent guns even when brought up to 4.7... now that the SKink is up at 5.0 it sort of ruined my lineup a bit, it was perfect at 4.7 and really wish it would be moved back down to 4.7, and move that massive anti air truck down to 4.3 at the vary least.
