==In Team Yankee== The Tunguska is the last word in Soviet anti-air platforms. Much of the information on it is now known from previews on assorted sites. It is not a reskinned Gepard, but is a uniquely dangerous piece of machinery in its own right. Following the trend set by all other Soviet AA platforms, the Tunguska has armour values of 1 all around, and is not well suited to situations where the enemy can shoot back. Even .50 cals on APCs stand a decent chance of penetrating it. However, fighting ground targets is only a secondary purpose. The true reason to field this vehicle is to rip enemy aircraft out of the sky, and Tunguska does this very well. Its armament includes both missiles and guns, although both are disabled in your turn if you fire them in the enemy turn. The autocannons have a range of 24β (36β when firing at aircraft), ROF 7/5 halted and moving respectively, AT 10, and firepower of 5+. This makes it unambiguously better than the Shilka in most respects. Added to the guns, Tunguska also comes with missiles, sporting a range of 64β, ROF 2, firepower 3+, and Guided AA; this puts it in a middle ground between the Gopher and Gecko.(FM101 clarifies that if a team makes any AA attack besides machine guns in the off turn, it still cannot shoot ground forces on its own turn except with machine guns, and vice versa.) Points values were said to be double those of the Shilka, with unit sizes of two or four vehicles. A unit of four Tunguskas therefore neatly replaces a unit of Shilkas and a unit of Gophers in terms of point allotment, but brings noticeably superior capability in both gun and missile armament. One disadvantage to this setup is that there is only one AA unit for the enemy to kill, leaving your forces dangerously exposed should they succeed. Another is if you are firing at aircraft with a short range (e.g. Harriers): in this situation, the Tunguska can only use its cannons or missiles (tanks only being able to fire one non-MG weapon still applies in AA fire), not both at once, while the Shilka-Gopher combination can let fly with everything. https://www.team-yankee.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=6844
