HT add 2 new mannables

[whels]

to Airfields 1 on each end of runway.  make them 88mm dual purpose, like 5" guns, u can back space
an select AA proxy shells or AP Anti-Tank rounds. have it have a reload time like a DS 5", alittle time
wait on reload.

might also put 1 or 2 in field towns

It would be nice to have another way to ruin the stupid bish horde missions

[whels]

from what ive read, Rate of Fire for these guns was between 15 n 20 rounds a min. so not a over powering ROF. Would be good for T34 n Tiger kills on fields they are camping, and the AA for vulchers
and higher Buffs.

Would be better as a perked ord option for the German Half Track if they could code it so it can't fire on the move. Make it gun position number 3 so when you stop and select it, you in essence jump out of the track and onto the gun platform.

That way you can take it with you instead of sitting in a static position waiting to be killed.

Regardless though I would love to have the multi role 88

whels is right again. Also, the German 88 was not proximity-fused. It was time-fused. Great when used as an anti-tank weapon, but actually mediocre as an AA weapon.

That's because the American 5" guns were proximity fused. To my knowledge, the Germans never developed proximity fuses. The 88 was time-fused using a Kommandogerat optical predictor to determine the azimuth, slant range, elevation and time setting. In fact General der Flakartillerie a. D. von Renz estimated that in actuality it required 4,000 88mm shells to down one bomber. A USAAF study (trying to find it) indicated that were the Germans  to use proximity fuses, 8th AF flak losses would triple and the B-24 would be knocked out of the European war entirely.
In contrast, the American 90mm AA gun, and I believe the British 3.7in AA gun, did have proximity fuses, as well as greater range, and were much more effective. The downside being that the Allied weapons were heavier, less mobile, and produced in far fewer numbers than the Flak 88.

I'm sorry.

[Denholm]

I would enjoy this.

It would've helped greatly when making my Malta terrain. Oh well, I made up with it through the guns of doom.

Those AAA batteries were killer.
