Flakpanzer IV (2cm) Wirbelwind
« on: January 05, 2008, 07:29:43 PM »
Yes I know its been asked for many times, but I think its that time again. From everything Iv read I think the wirblewind would be alot better AA tank then the Ostwind. The rof of the WW is around 800rpm compared to the OS's 160rpm. The WWs HE round weighed 0.3 lbs and was fired at a muzzle velocity of 2,953'/sec. One thing that really stands out is that only 43 OWs were produced to the WWs (from what I read) 140. I wouldnt even mind getting rid of the OW and have it replaced with the WW.

I'd froth at the mouth with this enacted.   The Knights and Bishops would regret it though.

What about a Crusader Mk III anti aircraft tank? About 400 of these were made.

I asked for Wirbelwind long time ago, would be very nice edition to base defense, that or SdKfz 7/1 (SdkFz 7 armed with a 2 cm Flakvierling 38 L/112.5 multiple gun mounting, appearing with both open and armored cab.)

With SdkFz added to game, posibilities could be open to having a 7.5cm version for attacking town (short barrel 7.5cm)

or SdKfz 7/2 with 3.7cm would be nice for all purpose.

Thats 3 versions of the SdKfz would be useful in game.

I say add the 2 cm Flakvierling 38 L/112.5 to manned guns would be awesome.

You'd have a mixed bag of 3.7cm and Flakvierling's defending a field.
