Nimrod SPAA
"Poor little Nimrod"
- – Bugs Bunny
The Nimrod SPAA, more accurately known as the 40M Nimrod, was a Hungarian "Tank Destroyer" and SPAA. It served throughout the war and is a unit available in Flames of War.
IRL[edit | edit source]
The 40M was first developed as a licensed version of a Swedish SPAAG. It has a modified turret, and was equipped with yet another licensed version of the Bofors 40mmm autocannon.
Assuming you've read the T-34 page, you know that this is completely inadequate weapon for AT warfare. As a result, the vehicle changed roles, becoming a dedicated AA vehicle that could shoot light armored targets in an emergency, like Half tracks or T-60s.
An interesting feature of the Nimrod was the inclusion of the "Kerngranate", a rocket-propelled grenade that could be fired from the vehicle like Rifle Grenades on rifles.
