Evidently i doubt it Jam, seeing as a A20, B5N, or Stuka could merly fly around at close range behind you and egg you anyways. The turret rotation on this 88mm gun would probably be comparable to the new Anti-Tank guns rotation speed we have now? And the proxy fuse wouldn't be available like the CV's have so you Mise well use an Osti with a quicker turret rotation and a faster fire rate?

Just some food for thought.

I would think it would be a hell of a lot slower, comparable to the CV 5 inch guns. And if this was ever added, all you need is one on a hill overlooking a base, and they could vulch all day.

Who needs speed when you can start poking at it from 20k away.

lol look at the crew on it, I would have no problem with adding it if it only took a few 303.s to turret it

I doubt that. It would not work like our 5" AA guns... no radar fuzed shells.

I would have it only just for the novelty factor. Plus in AHII people find useful purposes in game that the original products intent is hardly ever used for that purpose.

I can see it being used as a AA mobile platform, direct mobile artillery and a mobile anti-tank gun.

Or just get your self a spotter and shoot the part of the runway where the planes spawn. I like that idea.

hey guys. this would be a great addition as long as flak shells MUST be time fused for distance and you must calculate it out. AP shells maybe... thatd be a painful addition and this thing should need a perk

Aircraft could strafe it and kill it easy, doesnt warrant a perk price.

It would be deadly against tanks though.
