It needs added, the ground pounders need a short & long range flak capability. The M-16 just gives kills to whoever happens to be flying by at the time....at least when I'm in it. My M-16's blow up when in contact with an enemy birds shadow. :lol  I would also like to see the 88MM & 90MM towed flaks added for that longer range punch, the 88MM would be better IMO since it was a good AT gun too. It could be perked & have AT or AA rounds in the load-out.

Speaking of this...

Why can't we man the 88's on the fields/towns to shoot down incomming high-alt buffs?  Would fight that helpless feeling a bit when you see sets of 20k Lanc's inbound to take out hangers.  Would also help reward coordination:  "We need those 88's taken out!  Can someone help us out at A1?  Time-on-target eta is 5 mikes!!"  Not a huge issue (and out of context for this thread..oops :confused: ), but would be nice to hit 'tab' to highlight a formation and issue approximate altitude information for that target to our fuze-setter, then send up nice little HE puffs of luv to the toolshedders.
