M247 SGT. York DIVAD
The M247 DIVAD (Division air defence) Sergeant York, named after the First World War soldier Alvin York who received the medal of honour, was a SPAAG mounted on the M48 chassis as a response to the lack of adequate mobile air defence the US army had at the time, using the F-16’s radar along with dual 40mm Bofors cannons it would have been a very lethal anti-air system had the radar worked as intended.
Instead the radar turned out to be too sensitive leading to the famous incident where at a public demonstration of the M247, it swung its guns around towards the crowd whilst aiming at the fan of a portable toilet confusing it to be a helicopters blades and often the guns when fully raised would confuse the radar and after only 50 units were built it was scrapped I favour of missile bearing SPAA systems
Controls:
AG-1 = activate turret slew and elevation
Landing gear = deploy targeting and search radar
Instructions
Step 1: toggle landing gear so that both radars are deployed
Step 2: toggle air to air mode

Nice work

@MinWiii yeah looks like a lever dangling or a stick gets stuck. Yet making a fully realistic track needs the Tracks mod; or, a lot of parts together, which sucks more due to the you-know physic settings of the game (just personal opinion).
The thing is it’s doesn’t mold over the terrain as it moves, which sucks @TrueNoMan
@HermanTheGermanSherman Actually, you can put flat (by editing
scale
) wheels together to form the belt part of a track. When it runs, it just looks like a real rolling track.
