The German 88mm Flak36 was been asked for (by me among others).  Towed deployable artillery.  Manned puff ack to 33K feet altitude.  16 mile range indirect fire.  The direct fire ability to peg a tank at long range.

I think the "towed" part is the problem given how the game is set up.  I think it would be easier to get the 88 if we got one of the self-propelled versions (either on the Sdkfz or Panzer chassis).  

I did a thread on the Sdkfz self-propelled 88 a while ago.  It would be limited by its short ammo load (40 rounds), and the need to get either AP, HE or AA ammo loads.  I think it would be a great addition.

He wasb't talking about the historical abilities of the units.  He was talking about the way the code in the game works.
