88's

Then don't hang around or above {4-5k} from our base!

Like I always tell the enemy when one of our ACK's or Osties takes them out of the sky, don't come to the enemy field and we won't shoot a ya :aok

Besides how many times have you heard "oh ok, I'll deack the field, gimme a second"  like it's no big deal {which most of the time it isn't} Be a little different ballgame when some serious shells come up to meet ya!

IMO EVERYTHING should be mannable.

No AI guns at all. You should wonder when you dive in on a field if anyone is there? Am I being targeted even now?

88's should also be capable of shooting tanks approaching.  And make the manned gun at a vehicle field an 88 while your at it.

Should have choice between fuzeable AA, HE, AP ammo.

HiTech told me in an interview a while back that Pyro was looking at a towed artillery piece.  It would make sense to use a dual-use weapon like the 88, one that could be used for artillery bombardment as well as in the anti-tank mode.  Terrain editors could put little revetments around towns and strat targets for players on the defense to set up the "arty" in.
