No no no... one gun towed and the vehicle stays there to hold supplies for the gunner. If either gun or vehicle are destroyed the sortie ends. Only makes sense.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.

+1.

The '88 requires almost a direct hit to kill an aircraft (based on tests offline), so no issue with it being unbalancing or anything.

AA shells ineffective inside of 1500yds, bad for close defense

Slow traverse rate, and lack of point indicating center-of-screen and range gradations for AP shells.

VERY easy to destroy

not even a super great AP shell, since we got the 75mm L'70 and especially the 88mm L'71, the Tiger's 88mm L'56 seemed really lackluster.


About all it would be better at than some other vehicle we have now is swatting would-be carpet bombers/lankstukas.

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
