The M6 Linebacker in Battlefield 2 is the main air-defense vehicle of the United States Marine Corps and the EU. Its counterparts are the Chinese Type 95 SPAAA and the MEC 2K22 Tunguska. This mobile AA sets itself apart from its Russian and Chinese counterparts because instead of a rapid firing set of guns, it has a single 25mm rifle that fires rounds one by one. This gives the Linebacker an advantage over infantry, as the single rounds are easier to aim on a single point, and against armored vehicles, as the larger round can do much more damage than the smaller ones of its competitors. However, it is difficult to engage enemy aircraft at a range, because without a high rate of fire, the rounds are harder to track.
Vehicle PositionsEdit
Driver - Completely protected, controls main gun and stinger missiles
Passenger - Rides on open hatch, completely exposed, only has own weapons
The passenger is completely exposed to enemy fire, but an engineer is capable of repairing the vehicle while standing.
ProtectionEdit
AA vehicles are protected with armor that is close to an IFV, so two explosive weapons will destroy it. With no smoke and no effective way to destroy armor, it is best to avoid land engagements unless as a last resort.
