The way we play this game I'm torn on the idea.
Say POTW decides to as a squad, setup an 88 battery of 12-20 88 to defend against bombers. Yes that will be epic. The bomber pilot could decide we were worthy of his load. Or even against GV spread out along a ridge over a spawn. One M16, M8, M3-75 etc... would end that. Or just one tank spawned in with HE. Or a fighter with guns only. Maybe even a pilot with a 45.
Just like the 88 is a sitting duck on fields against fighters and tanks with better optics. This would be a scooby snack delivery service for the red guys. Obviously like anything a bit arcane in our game. A small handful of players would become competent in setting these up to survive a bit longer than everyone else. Might even be some strange moments of hiding one in a hanger for after the capture. If the town capture stays the same with the new game version. There is a high area in town designed for a battery of these to sweep the GV approaches. Until the long range GV get at them with HE or the first fighter bombs or strafes them.
Still, if this happens, do the same with the 17lb. It has better optics for ambushing tanks.
