It would be nice to have a US version.

As terrifying as the 88mm was to US troops, the 90mm struck the same fear in German soldiers and was also an effective AT gun in addition to providing close direct fire support and long range indirect fire support.

Until the jabo or bombers showed up, your only limitation to the permutations of 88 fun would be getting numbers of players herded into place and setup. Like that first AP volley from 10 - 88 setup on the high ground in the town as a single GV wonders into view from the spawn. Even the first few jabo or bombers might not make it onto the target if those guys know what they are doing. That's why you would try to recruit a few wirbel. In the end you would probably need a few tanks to defend against M3-75 and M8 who could move faster than the 88 could track. Now a crafty M4 with rockets could stand off and hit some by luck........ Or a squad ups their own 88 and starts a long range lobbing fight from the spawn to the town.

And then some newb would show up and carpet bomb all the fun to heck and crow on 200.

I think that it would be a good addition, it would be no different than rolling out a tank or jeep/m3 now. Planes can still kill me no different than low bombers or tanks.  I think it would still give a different aspect to the game and something that would be cool (especially if the portable 88 tank gunsight would be transferred to the gun/ship/field 88 too).
If we have something to show we will & do post shots, if we have nothing new to show we don't.
