Early Chinese SPAA?

I don't think the SD.kfz.222 should be a SPAA. It was a recon/armoured car and while the elevation is good enough, the rotation isn't.

It believes we could have the M2a1 halftrack apc could be a better option. A open top light armoured chassis with a 12.7mm m2hb on a 360 degree rotation, nearly 90 degree elevation and a additional 7.62mm m1919. Sound better than the Gaz AAA already.

I think a single 7.7mm is too weak for a SPAA, using a vanilla ZSD-63 (with a 12.7mm MG) would be better.

there is the 7.62mm and the 12.7mm in the front.

the 12.7mm is having a 360 degree rotation but the 7.62mm is only having a partial arc of fire on one or the other side.

those armament are pretty clearly show in this picture
