Mannable Flak Guns

I think it would be fun to have 88" flak guns mannable in cities, factories, etc.

It would be like the 5" guns on a ship, you would just man them in the above.

From what HT has told me, they aren't the same thing. The 5"ers use a proximity fuse that the German 88mm didn't have.

Well, would be interesting to have to program in approximate altitude. The only problem might be that friendlies at that altitude could serve as spotters over range channel for the 88 gunners.

It would be interesting, but the flak in AH isn't even a gun. I would like to see it modelled as a gun, and not simply randomly generated explosions inside a box. Mannable flak guns would be useful in addition to that.

Indeed at bases would be interesting too, especially if the AP round option was added, give those pesky GV campers something to really worry about on GV and air bases. waste too much time trying to take a field/town and get an 88 mm for your troubles, if they didn't get you before that.
