History
"..."

-...

Self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles have been a staple of armies ever since the invention of aircraft. Back during the days of propellers and turboprops, machine guns and flak cannons could easily dispatch slow-moving and low-altitude flying aircraft, but as jet engines improved and fighter jets claimed record highs, new and improved missile technology replaced conventional anti-air cannons. And as these missiles improved, so did countermeasures. In current times, aircraft getting shot down by anti-air fire became a rare occurrence.

The Moonlight Liberation Army, however, did not let up. With limited air capability, all they had to eliminate hostile aircraft were their Stinger launchers, but they could easily be thwarted by countermeasures. They needed a weapon to circumvent that, a return to before missiles and laser-guided tracking. The Quad Cannon was the invention. Armed with a quadruple 20mm auto-cannon bolted onto a flatbed, these trucks proved to be a serious threat to any air superiority. Their makeshift radar systems could easily track the high-tech aircraft, and their relentless four-barreled bullet assault were bound to cause serious damage to any plane caught in its sights. Ground targets weren't safe from the Quad Cannon, either, as can be attested to by Red Guards who survived encounters with the fearsome vehicles.

Like other MLA vehicles, the Quad Cannon can also be upgraded with additional firepower through salvage.
